Just got my copy. Not only did the record sound great, the music is equally good. Since Dennis at Pure Audiophile told me there were only less than 1000 pressed I gather this one would soon be sold out.

Snippet:
Pure Audiophile is Born
By Jon Iverson
February 18, 2002 — It's a brave group of souls who run today's audiophile music labels. Sane business minds would likely deem it foolhardy to start a new specialty label these days, but sometimes one's passion for music overrides the rational impulse to try something a little bit more secure (like perhaps an Internet company?).
Such is the case with start-up Pure Audiophile, which is releasing its first LPs this month. The two-disc set is called Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane and features vocalist Karrin Allyson with James Williams on piano, John Patitucci on acoustic bass, Lewis Nash on drums, and Bob Berg, James Carter, and Steve Wilson taking turns on saxophone. Retail price is $49.50 for the 2-LP, set with $5 shipping added if you order direct from the company.
