1976. Think about that.

Those might be THE most whack examples of cover art in the entire ‘legit’ Miles catalog.

1976 and American Columbia wasn't interested for a while. There was no Second Great Quintet yet.

Oh, right — those were Japanese only too.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but the 70+ mins single cd Columbia sampler they released of the Plugged Nickel, did it for me.

Imho the 1965 Plugged Nickel recordings, while wonderful, are inferior in musical quality to the 1967 live recordings from Newport and Europe.

My guess is their reputation is largely based on the fact that for a long time they (and Miles in Berlin) were the only widely circulating live recordings of this quintet.

I have the repress of the Japanese set on gold disc. IMO it sounds better than the US cd set, and the Tower Records SACD set sounds a bit better than the Japanese. The edits really don't bother me.
