I see amazon has it for a comparable price. Was it always that cheap? Are live parts available elsewhere? I'm not a Miles completist, so are they indispensable?

IMHO, the extra material on discs 3 & 4 are significantly less interesting than the original Bitches Brew release. So, If you're not a Miles completeist and you already own the 2-disc version of Bitches Brew, I'd say that you're fine.

As ever, YMMV.

Too late, my copy arrived today ... It's nice enough to keep.

I guess other than a few dozen albums, pretty much anything in jazz (or in music) is significantly less interesting than "Bitches Brew" ;)

Black Saint/ Soul Note sale at ImportCDs.


Prices look okay...but what do I know? ;-)

There still seem to be some discounted Black Saint/Soul Note boxes at ImportCDs.  I don't know if prices are up, down, same.  I mention ImportCDs and BS/SN again only because they have a coupon good for 10% off through June 30th - TAKE10.   I haven't tried shopping/buying. 

Some of the newer issues seem to still be "not on sale" (e.g. Blackwell)

'Ray's Jazz' in London had the Henry Threadgill at £15 when I was in there a couple of weeks ago. Might be of interest to local board members?

Avoid that Hollies set.  EMI has done a much better job compiling the same material.  Anyone know why a lot of material is being reissued on both EMI and WEA?  Hollies, UFO, stuff like that.  How can they both have rights to it?
