Thank you! Very different from each other, they each have their charms, but "Drunken Boat" is the one with the magic IMO.

I like that A side for what it is (I'm a huge fan of 60's American Psychedelic music) , thanks for the link. Wish there was a way to hear the B side, and a realistic way to own them in non-vinyl form.

It is a good one, though quite shocking and upsetting in some ways. Very thought-provoking.

But at least this is a CD version.

RIP, quite a run (98 years) and quite a fine legacy. Blessings and peace to his loved ones.

A number of good Stevie covers on this gem:

And "Another Star" is MIA, and "That Girl" is only #39.

Great set - wonderful presentation of incredible music. This and the corresponding Ornette and Mingus sets, were, to me, as close to perfect as these things get.

The ones where that box goes for $150+ and so much if it is previously released on OTC, Big Fun, and Get Up With It.

5 hours 46 minutes total for the new set 4+ hours of it previously officially unreleased. I eventually broke down and bought a used copy of Vol. 7, and it was better than I expected, the live stuff being the most rewarding. Where I've drawn the line is the later albums on WB and the ridiculous prices on the Complete On The Corner box (I've owned it but cashed it in).

Agreed. Teo Macero knew a thing or two about how to produce a Miles Davis album...

This.

Amazon pricing is problematic on this. Six CD set. Amazon pre-order $99.98. ImportCDs pre-order $67.89.

Great news, count me in, love that period!

Miles Davis - Circle in the Round

Yes he is.

I've always felt that the original company and the Don Was current company have nothing in common except a name and some catalog rights (there was a period when the label rebooted in the 80's that at least some of the artist names were the same, but the spirit and quality weren't). So a compilation like this claiming a continuity strikes me as just wrong. YMMV.

"Mas Que Nada" is a great groover, the cut by them I play the most. The title track to "Crystal Illusions" is wonderfully imaginative and progressive.

Love the Brasil '66 albums with the great Lani Hall vocals. Also enjoy the Brasil '65 stuff with Wanda De Sah, and the Brasil '77 stuff. And Primal Roots was a stunning detour. RIP.
