The first album with Coltrane is a favorite of mine.  Was the Sextet/Quintet album with Jackie McLean from 1955 as well?

Yes, it was: August 5, 1955.  Those tracks are on this package.

Product.  In how many forms has this material been released on CD?  Isn't this just another collation/configuration of the same old material?
