I never saw Miles until the Warner years (and glad I did!), but was never much interested in buying any of the albums. I should probably check out a couple of the ones suggested here.

I haven't forgotten. Love those guys! Mitch Easter put out a very good solo album about 12 years ago that worth hunting down for any Let's Active fan.
Sadly, the drummer Sara Romwebber passed away recently.
This was part of the blurb from the Miles Davis FB page. Might be significant.
[The Remastered and pitch corrected, “Complete Birth Of The Cool,” 2LP is available worldwide on 6/7, with CD on 6/28. Buy now!]
More Miles: Complete ‘Birth Of The Cool’ Sessions Out June 7
Any thoughts on this? You think it will be any different/better than the combined last "Complete Birth" in 1998 and the RVG version in 2001?
I don't have the "Grow Fins" collection, but I do have the nicely packaged "Sun Zoom Spark" box with 'Decals,' 'Spotlight Kid,' 'Clear Spot' and a disk of unreleased outtakes.
Really a shame there isn't some sort of 50th Anniversary collection.
They were great, for sure! Saw them a number of times and especially like their Black Saint/Soul Note albums.
I regret that I never saw them with Mingus, though.
