You can't go wrong with ANY Coltrane album! That being said I don't have any Prestige-era or earlier albums. I have nearly all LPs from Atlantic and Impulse eras, Village Vanguard boxset, Live Trane boxset on Pablo.
Ole Coltrane is 'Trane's excellent modal/Spanish workout
Anyone who loves this stuff should make an effort to go see Pharoah Sanders if and when he plays anywhere remotely near them.
First four Alice Coltrane albums are killers too.
There is a live performance of A Love Supreme in France from '65 or '66, havn't heard that one yet.
comparing Coltrane and Stooges is like comparing apples and pineapples
