    The Beatles "In Mono" CD set was released to much fanfare as being a Limited Edition. Many people, myself included, pre-ordered it at full list price. After it sold quite a bit, it was suddenly no longer a limited edition and the prices plummeted. So I paid $229 for a box that less than a year later was selling everywhere for closer to $140, with some places selling it for under $100.

    The Beatles on Capitol and Blue Note fall under the Universal Music umbrella. I don't trust their "limited editions".

    Apples and oranges. Highly doubt the Lighthouse set will be reprinted in LP form. The CD version, yes. But hey, if a repress of the vinyl shows up next week, I'll gladly eat my words. Given the current pressing plant issues with vinyl, I don't see it happening.

    Dude...if nothing else, you'll want it just to hear how totally different the record was than the session.

    That's not the only reason, but seriously, all the other Miles records that Teo did involved artful crafting, at times at a pretty significant compositional level, but IASW goes waaaay beyond that - and you will have no idea just how much unless you hear this box.

    I was, how do other people say it...gobsmacked.

    Love the IASW box, but the background coloring of the liner notes in the accompanying book has accounted for much of my poor vision while trying to read them. :blink:. Don't know who at Legacy/Sony signed off on that clashing orange/blue/white design. The words are barely decipherable in many parts of the notes.

    It’s the Cellar Door set I want at a non insane price 

    Yes, if only they would reissue that one too. But I'm definitely jumping on the OTC set. It was pretty pricey even when it was available the first time around.

    Sad to read that. I like many of his later recordings for Steeple Chase.

    Thank your for the music, Louis Smith!

    There appeared to be a 20 year break in recording between his albums for Blue Note and SteepleChase (1958-1978).

    So this month, we have lost Hutch, Mr. Smith, and a guy who worked closely with both of them at BN, RVG. :(
