Amazing that the kids were able to agree amongst themselves. The power of $, I guess.

I found their work extremely disappointing, too "safe". Chico Freeman in general has proven to be a lost opportunity after a blazing stary

At $9.90 a pop, I ordered all five T-shirts. I spend very little on clothes, and can actually always use more T-shirts.

"Don't Bring Me Down" (one of the best singles ever, written by Goffin/King!), "Inside Looking Out", "See See Rider", and very good filler. Excellent album, and the 2022 remaster sounds great!

Really comes down to repertoire on any given album.

Big fan of the early Reprise recordings, and find what came on RCA, Arista, MCA enjoyable enough. My favorite Kinks song is probably "I'm Not Like Everybody Else", but the 1968 cover by the Chocolate Watchband blows away the Kink's original.

So well done.

Sad on so many levels. Life is a gift.

The curse of the collector. I feel a pull toward the set for the same reason, even though I have virtually no interest in the music. And it has caused me to buy some 50's/60's/70's Blue Notes, etc., I can't imagine ever actually playing again.

BTW, someone needs to do a CD issue of those Watson Roulette albums from the 70's.

Doe releases on that label nornally get picked up by the usual suspects (DustyGroove, Amazon, etc.)?

First world problem . I do share the great enthusiasm for this release! Wonder what else is sitting in the Flying Dutchman vaults...

I've always considered it THE classic record in the genre. It does sound and feel like it's from another universe, one I'd like to visit. It is truly one of a kind magic. It is one of those rare records I will sit in the car until it finishes on the radio.

From the big "Complete Columbia Albums Collection" box. This was the first Miles album I ever bought, back in the early 70's, on the recommendation of my jazz patron saint at Franklin Music.

A lost gem, too late in the game (1965) to get heard. P.F. Sloan on blazing lead guitar! Hal Blaine and the usual cast of suspects/aces! The first LP on Dunhill records! Very early Sloan/Barri production!

Fascinating body of work:

I like "Suzanne" by Judy Collins and especially by Roberta Flack. Also like "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye" by Flack a lot. I like "Priests" by Richie Havens. I like "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley. I guess that means l like his songs when done by someone who can, you know, sing, rather than by him.

I decided I really don't like him. And I can't get decent resale value on the set. Would love to trade it off.

Me too!
