This is an original album cover proof for the Prestige album by John Coltrane titled On A Misty Night" hand signed by legendary photographer Jim Marshall, who took the photograph on the cover. Coltrane was the leading American jazz saxophonist and composer at the forefront of free jazz. Album cover proofs were made for the artist/management/record label/ and photographer/designer to approve, before album covers are mass produced. Generally fewer than 5 would have been made, and most would have been discarded after being approved. This one measures 13 3/4" x 25 1/4", and is in excellent condition. The late Jim Marshall was one of the most highly acclaimed music photographers ever; he was the chief photographer at Woodstock, the only photographer allowed backstage at the Beatles last concert, and shot legendary photographs of Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones Johnny Cash, and many other music legends. His photographs adorn more than 500 album covers including the Allman Brothers "At The Fillmore East" and the Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers, and numerous concert posters. Comes with PSA Sticker only.
