GregK Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Has anyone heard if the new "Seven Steps" Miles box slated for release next month will be available in the old metal spine format? I've asked this very question at least 3 different times on this board since spring and no one answered-either no one knew or they didn't bother to answer. Is it still due on the 28th?

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 It's due out on 9/29 (and available for pre-order at Amazon Jpn)...don't know about the metal spine biz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that it's the last one coming out with a metal spine. But I'm writing this in a Starbucks right now (something I've never done before) so I can't check where I read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Would you still buy it if it DIDN'T have a metal spine?? That's the question ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 And if it has that metal spine, it should be the last one, as it's the one that completes the originally planned run of Miles Sony/Columbia boxes. The Cellar Door is not part of the series, and we still don't know if there is going to be a post-Jack Johnson studio box (I hope there will, but there has been no sign, so far, or at least none reached me). ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Can someone please post a decent pic of the 'metal spines' in question? I've seen people complain about them over the years....but don't own any of those other Miles sets and have yet to see what the deal is with these.

jazzbo Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I like the spine on the Gil Evans box the best. . . . It's no big deal to have them or not, but having them is pleasurable at times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 This should be a good box. . . but I wish they would bring the Cellar Door material out first! Even though I've heard it all now, I've been psyched about this material since Bob Belden and Michael Cuscuna both started leaking information about it years ago!

Guest Chaney Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 If only they had done it right and made it so that the metal spines would rust, just like the Bill Evans Verve set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't that box come with a toothbrush to remove the rust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Thanks Hans. Doesn't look bad imo. Now, if you picked up any of the previous Miles Sony/Col boxes in Tokyo, Metz or Buffalo....would you get the exact same packaging, or are there slight variations in the US/Euro & Jpn. designs (excepting the addition of an obi of course)?

Parkertown Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Why, oh why didn't they have a metal spine on the Silent Way box? ARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Why, oh why didn't they have a metal spine on the Silent Way box? ARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!! I think it's because it was only 3 discs, so it didn't fit right somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFS Posted August 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 If the pre-order price is any indication - about $100. - this will at least initially be in the metal spine format...good news from my perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enterprise Server Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Since I can never get enough of Miles, they could release it in a cereal box and I would still bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
