totally bogus.

YOU CANT BE SERIOUS!

This LP is an interesting change of pace from the jazz idiom. Recorded in Carnegie Hall in 1980, puts you right in the hall. Any other stuff like this anyone can recommend?

Master recording engineer David Baker, who recorded many of the finest jazz dates of modern times died in Rochester July 14. All jazz lovers and your fellow engineers will continue to marvel at your great work.

you can play louder than in your house.

added some groovey ones.

I think I would probably agree with that - although the 'King' GFX pressings are usually very good, often superb, and are well worth seeking out. I would choose the Japanese pressings for availability of titles and condition. It's not that easy to get many titles in nice condition of 35 year old Liberty's. Also, many of the older titles, re-issued by Liberty are rechannelled stereo, something you want to avoid if you are into sound quality. Many Liberty pressings were labeled rechannel for stereo but were real stereo, aside from the 1500 series stuff. King pressings are good, but they do not give you the Blue Note sound in its totality. I hope to get around to listing some Blue Notes for sale here and you can be assured my near mint is near mint.

buy anything with RVg in the dead wax. then you know you are getting a real blue note. Way better off with a liberty pressing than a Japanese one.

the stereo versions can be had in the 20 to 50 dollars range depending on condition. If you just need a listening copy, you can get a vg one for 15 to 20.

Wouldn't Back To the Tracks be an even better choice? its a better album than True Blue. Has it ever been RVG'ed?

The originals always sound better. Who remastered the Blue NOtes anyway?

I looked hard at this one, but I rather have the originals at that price. Any more then 140 is too high.

Thanks for the info. I had a cd with other selections from the In Europe concert and they are less than steller compared to what was released by Columbia. Out takes and rehearsal takes should stay in the vault judging from previous Miles boxes. If you have the original releases like me and most other Miles fans there is little reason to buy this set. The Japan and Berlin sets were released in a two fer domestic album and the Japan issues are all over EBAY. The Japan concert and the Europe album feature some quite fantastic performances by Miles and Tony in particular. This is great music, but for most of us who have this stuff it would be a purchase not of need but of self indulgence. In other words we will buy it after it goes out of print!

What is the appeal the Miles since the originals are easy to find on vinyl?

I can't imagine the piano stuff sounding any good on cd compared to the vinyl.

The only reason he had BNs was his friend worked for them or EMI. The dance records were his brother in laws who had stored them at his house. He was a DJ at one time. This was in New York area.

You put the cleaner on one brush and scrub and then use another brush to rinse with distilled water. air dry and that is it. Sometimes the brushes get backordered.

This cleaning system which includes brushes is incredible. I just took a Soul Junction original which I was about to drop off at the thrift shop cause I thought it was groove damaged, cleaned it and it plays vg++!!!! I had previously used amonia free glass cleaner and soap and water on it. This stuff is a must have! email: thedoctor@discdoc.com

Can happen. Last week bought 40 sealed blue note and misc cds including Miles Davis box and double bn cds for 1 dollar each. Of course I was there for lps which had been sold days before the sale. they were disco so i didn't shoot myself.

I happened to listen to a RVG of McCoy Tyners first Blue Note after a gold cd of Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section. The Blue Note does sound noisy in comparison. I also compared a green label pressing of the Pepper title to an original. The green held up very well, but if you have a high end system the original will sound alot warmer.

If anyone is suggesting that people pay big bucks for original Blue Notes just because they have to have the first pressing, they are mistaken. First pressings sound consistantly better than later ones, this has been discovered to be true over and over again by record collectors. While there may be a lack of certainty over what is a first pressing in some cases, this does not eclipse what the marketplace is telling us. There is real value in first pressing jazz records, and they will continue to appreciate.

the only reason not to listen to Miles In The Sky is if your are a drummer. It will only remind you that no matter what mind altering trip you took, you could never imagine what Tony played on that record. Never mind play it!

Basra sounds good too. I had to buy both stereo and mono! I like the stereo better though.

Are the new releases still compressed to death?
