Ptah, The El Daoud (Verve By Request Series)

Recorded in 1970 at the basement studio of the Coltrane family home in Dix Hills, Alice Coltrane’s fourth album is a spiritual jazz masterpiece. The title track pays homage to the Egyptian God, Ptah (with 'the El Daoud' meaning 'the beloved'). Many parts of the album reach what Coltrane defined as Turiya, a high - state of Nirvana and the goal of human life. The Verve By Request Series offers this album on 180 - gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.

To enjoy this album, simply place the 180 - gram vinyl on your record player. Make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, put the vinyl back in its sleeve to protect it. Store the album in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. This spiritual jazz album is a gem, so take good care of it to keep enjoying its transcendent music for years to come.
