Jphii said above he's sending you A Love Supreme that he got off ebay. You might be interested to know that critic Robert Palmer has written (in his liner notes for a reissue of Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue):
"...The one group I never missed [at the Fillmore East] was The Allman Brothers Band. More specifically, I went to see their guitarist, Duane Allman, the only 'rock' guitarist I had heard up to that point who could solo on a one-chord vamp for as long as half an hour or more, and not only avoid boring you but keep you absolutely riveted. Duane was a rare melodist and a dedicated student of music who was never evasive about the sources of his inspiration. 'You know,' he told me one night after soaring for hours on wings of lyrical song, 'that kind of playing comes from Miles and Coltrane, and in particular Kind Of Blue. I've listened to that album so many times that for the past couple of years, I haven't hardly listened to anything else.' Earlier, I'd met Duane and his brother Gregg when they had a teenage band called The Hourglass. One day I'd played Duane a copy of Coltrane's Ole, an album recorded a little more than a year after Kind Of Blue but still heavily indebted to it. He was evidently fascinated; but a mere three of four years later, at the Fillmore, I heard a musician who'd grown in ways I never could have imagined..."
I'll send you dubs of key tracks off these and maybe some other Coltrane records you don't already have. Together with the copy of A Love Supreme you're slated to get, his greatness and influence might reveal themselves to you more fully in that light.
