Booklet, page 18:
Original analog tapes were used for all tracks except LP 2/Side 4 tracks 3 and 4, which by necessity were sourced from digital copies. LP 1 and LP 3 are stereo, LP 2 is mono. Dropouts and other minor tape anomalies that may be heard are a by-product of the historical nature of his material, some of which derives from Coltrane's personal collection, and were not corrected or otherwise manipulated.
Sealed with some of the shrink torn along opening of gatefold, upon inspection it has obviously never been opened.
