“My Favorite Things” was released in March 1961 and was the first album on which John Coltrane played soprano saxophone in addition to his tenor saxophone. His soprano stars on two of the album’s four songs, including his unforgettable rendition of the title track, written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for the musical The Sound of Music.

An edited version of the 14-minute original was a radio hit that spring. The song’s success helped introduce Coltrane to a wider audience, while the album would inspire later generations of fans. In recognition of the album’s enduring artistic and historical significance, “My Favorite Things” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998 and awarded gold in 2018.

Rhino celebrates the 60th anniversary of My Favorite Things with Deluxe Editions on vinyl and CD. Each release features new stereo and mono mixes remastered from the original tapes. The mono mix, thought lost, was recently rediscovered and is included here The LPs come in a replica of the original record sleeve with a booklet containing rare photos, ephemera from the era and new liner notes by renowned music journalist/author Ben Ratliff.

In the notes, Ratliff offers his take on “My Favorite Things”: “For a record that so many people have heard, the LP version of ‘My Favorite Things’ goes impressively far; it demonstrably goes somewhere. The juxtaposition of E major and E minor also keeps it ambivalent. It swirls you around; it sometimes gives you the pleasant impression that you don’t know where you are or what song you’re in. It’s a remarkable blend of extremism and tact.
