Leeway Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) http://www.sonymusicdigital.com/miles-davis/details/5506623?gclid=CN3Zvr3_waMCFRCenAod4EQ5Zw Sony Legacy is listing a forthcoming new "Trumpet Case" edition of Miles Davis box sets: all the metal spine box sets, plus some additional gew gaws (trumpet reed T-Short, a Miles lithograph, etc). Is this the ultimate Miles set, or a massive case of "jumping the shark"? I'm not sure who would shell out over $1,000 for this set. Serious collectors already have most or all of these boxes, and newcomers would seem unlikely to take the plunge. OTOH, it does look way cool! Anyone going for it?

jazzbo Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) There's been some discussion of this in another Miles Davis thread. . . . Personally, I'm pretending this hasn't been prepared. I'd love to have it, just because it's a cool collectible thing and I'm a Miles Davis collector FOR SURE, but I'm not buying it.

Anyone married going for it, and want to share how they would explain it to their spouse? I'm not even vaguely tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Leeway, you've been away too long! Here is a previous thread on this box. I am not going for it. I have purchased those albums when they came out on vinyls, on single CDs, on double CDs, on box sets. I just do not need further reissues.

J.A.W. Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Leeway, you've been away too long! Here is a previous thread on this box. Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't that thread about the 70CD/1DVD Complete Columbia Album Collection box? Leeway is talking about a different set, the upcoming trumpet case box with all the metal-spine box sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Wonder why they didn't include the Cellar Door box? to give them scope to release the ultimate ultimate version later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Clugston Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Wonder why they didn't include the Cellar Door box? Maybe because it's not a metal-spine box? Neither is the Silent Way box. They've included all the metal-(and non-metal)spined boxes that have numbers on the spine, which were part of a series. The live sets didn't have numbers on the spine. No Blackhawk or Plugged Nickel either. Maybe they'll reissue those and Cellar Door in a replica wah-wah pedal or a Harmon mute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Miles a "dedicated and talented [visual] artist?" Puh-leeze. Actually I believe that in the 'Seventies, especially post-"retirement" and beyond, Miles was quite dedicated to his painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 At that BB panel I saw at SXSW in March, Steve Berkowitz said that he had held back about 1,000 of each metal spine box for some future use. When the concept of the trumpet box came up, they decided that was a perfect time to make use of the stash. I think if you have the metal spine sets already, then there's no reason to get this. You could buy yourself a real trumpet for less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Saw one of the trumpet cases and its contents on display at the We Want Miles exhibit in Montreal. Filled in a card for a draw with it as the 1st prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
