Miles Davis Quintet: 1965-68 Columbia box set

[skeith]

The metal spine box says sound is SBM, the long box says 24 bit. Can anyone confirm if there are indeed differences and which sounds better?

Anyone compared them to Japanese DSD 9000 series?

So you don't think there's 24 bit SBM? (Just a question, I thought there might be, don't know, that is what I assumed these were. SOMETHING has to be used to reduce the 24 bit master to a 16 bit format, SBM, DSD, some process).

Could be Lon. I would like to get the answer. I have looked at the liner notes to the metal spine box and it says merely "SBM", whereas the cover of the long box says 24 bit. I want to know if they are in fact different remasterings.

Wish I had the answer!

Up. Any idea of why Mosaic did not keep the tracks sequence of the Miles Smiles album on that set? What is the point of doing this?

The album was recorded on two different dates; the music on the box set is presented in recorded order. They are being consistent. (Not that I think this is a good idea.)
