king ubu Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yes, Flurin, looks to be the same as what's in the Classic Album Collection. Thanks! So the only remaining rarity there will be the second disc of "We Want Miles" material... now that would make a great upcoming Miles Bootleg Series volume, too!

jazzbo Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Well, that box set was not MEANT to be chockful of rareties. There is the Isle of Wight audio disc, great to have, and also the original mix of Bitches Brew, also great to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcavanagh Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 The Isle of Wight is now available on the Bitches Brew Live cd that came out earlier this year. I think the only thing on the big box that is completely unavailable in any other form are the additional tracks on the first disc, the Tadd Dameron one. Even the We Want Miles bonus tracks were on Miles! Miles! Miles! I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 During the heat wave last night when I couldn't fall asleep, I kept thinking about this set. So this morning I pre-ordered one from amazon.ca - $43.99 Cdn. a little pricey, but what the hey, it's something I HAVE to have. (It's the same price as amazon.com when exchange is considered). Estimated date of delivery Sept. 15. If I find it cheaper somewhere else, I'll simply cancel this order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Classic Album Collection is a fascinating box set. I'm still having some fun comparing versions in that set with domestic and Japanese cds in my collection. And it's fun to reach into the box and pull out a favorite and spin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, the price will drop a bit. But the price is not THAT bad from my perspective, since recordings and DVD's have been traditionally 25% higher in Canada than in the US. 3 CD's and 1 DVD works out to $11 per disc (tax adds $6 in total, can't do anything about that), plus free shipping. So under $50 delivered to my door. About the same as a Mosaic Select. Not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I thought I was going to have this stuff already (would have bought it even if I had...), but looks like I don't have the Paris, so even moreso...BRING IT ON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, isn't that pretty much the definition of "reviews" these days, in a lot of publications? Too darn may 4/5 star reviews: as though the publication is afraid of offending a potential/current advertiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted O'Reilly Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) I find this sort of thing amusing... (from http://www.milesdavis.com/us/news/miles-davis-quintet-live-europe-1967-bootleg-series-vol-1?cid=lg:8su&utm_medium=email&utm_source=miles%20davis&utm_campaign=ypp%20-%20miles%20davis Comments for this News article Re: Miles Davis Quintet - Live In Europe 1967: The Bootleg Series Vol. 1 .Fri, 07/22/2011 - 12:28 — jules This is incredible news! Even though I already have all this music as bootlegs, I can't wait to buy the official release. This is some of my favorite Miles music ever, really stretching the boundaries of acoustic jazz. Will we have in the near future Sony pushing a release with somebody saying "Wow! Finally a chance to actually pay for that Napster concert I downloaded a few years back..."?

medjuck Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 The DVD looks like it's the same as a European DVD I bought which has the Stockholm and some of the Karlsruhe concert. (The full concert took up more than one cd.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggies are living off music publishing and the indies are gone - 'cept those bringing out live recordings "on spec", and most of those operations are hitting up the musicians for seed money.
