jazzbo Posted September 9, 2004 Report Posted September 9, 2004 Hmmm. . . I don't ever remember being promised a complete Antibes set. Love to see one though! Quote
Bluerein Posted September 10, 2004 Report Posted September 10, 2004 All of us who really want the metal spine edition should rush because they only press 25000 (!!)copies in that format!!!!!!! Should be enough for the next 5-6 years imo. Cheers, Reinier Quote
Tony Pusey Posted September 10, 2004 Report Posted September 10, 2004 Reinier, wake me up in 2009. Quote
Alfred Posted September 10, 2004 Report Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) Has anybody seen a price on this yet? I checked CD Universe last week and couldn't find a listing for it. The pre-order price is $ 91.21 (CDUniverse)! Edited September 10, 2004 by Alfred Quote

You do realize you are dealing with a group of obsessive bargain-hunters, right? I've only looked at a few sites, but CD Universe seems like the cheapest. Quote

I realize. Probably one myself. Thinking of preordering but was hoping to find it cheaper. Quote

I've done some looking around myself and it does look like CDUniverse has it the cheapest. I was going to get it at Borders with a 15% coupon I have, but their price is $129 to begin with. Guess I can wait a day or two and get it for $99 with shipping! Quote
DrJ Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 This is gonna be a great one - but I'll have to wait a bit, darn it, as it's down on my "remaining unpurchased Miles boxed sets" list behind the Jack Johnson one and the one I just ordered - CHRONICLES: COMPLETE PRESTIGE (for about half-price). I realize all the Prestige stuff is out on single discs but this was a great price and I like Fantasy's LP-sized booklets, discographies, etc. Quote

BFrank Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 I'm wondering why this one lists for $130 (7 CDs) and Jack Johnson (5 CDs) listed for $70. It's almost twice as much! Quote
jazzbo Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Hmmm. . . when it first came out I could have sworn that Jack Johnson had a considerably higher list price, like about 95 bucks? Quote
BFrank Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Lon - Maybe you're right, although I remember picking it up for less than $50 at the time. I think the list prices I am seeing now are those new non-metal spine releases. Quote
jazzbo Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 I know I paid more at Tower, the day Jack Johnson was released. . . Ah well! This is the first time I haven't bought one of these box sets on the day of release at Tower! Quote
GregK Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Hmmm. . . when it first came out I could have sworn that Jack Johnson had a considerably higher list price, like about 95 bucks? I paid about $70-75 for the Jack Johnson box on the day it was released, at Borders. That was the list price (no sale) Quote
jazzbo Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Cool. I know I didn't pay more than list price, even paid a sales price. . . it just HURT that day enough to feel like 95! Quote
BFrank Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Still, I don't get the list price on this thing. Mosaic sets are significantly cheaper than this (list price-wise). Max Roach's 7CD box is $112. Quote
Chalupa Posted September 26, 2004 Report Posted September 26, 2004 http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor.../music_miles_dc Set Traces Steps to Miles' Classic Quintet Sat Sep 25, 8:20 AM ET By Dan Ouellette NEW YORK (Billboard) - Anticipating the next Miles Davis boxed set from Columbia/Legacy Jazz has become an annual event. After six previous packages chronicling the iconic trumpeter's career, "Seven Steps: The Complete Columbia Recordings of Miles Davis 1963-1964" arrives Sept. 28. The silver, black and white box in Swiss graphic style holds seven CDs with 47 tracks that document an important transitional period in Davis' career. Unlike earlier Legacy boxes that focus on a specific collaboration or an established ensemble, "Seven Steps" chronicles the trumpeter's trial-and-error quest for a new band after the 1962 dissolution of his longstanding rhythm section of pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb. These sessions detail Davis trying out such saxophonists as George Coleman and Sam Rivers, pianist Victor Feldman and drummer Frank Butler before finally settling on the group of young upstarts -- saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams -- who formed his classic '60s quintet. The Davis reissue projects have been a commercial and critical success for Legacy, garnering nine Grammy Awards. "They sell very well," Legacy VP of jazz marketing Seth Rothstein says. "We make 50,000 limited-edition copies for the world. With sales of 25,000-30,000 in the U.S. and the rest going to Europe and Japan, you can think of 'Seven Steps' as being gone already. Eventually we'll reissue the set in long-box configurations." Rothstein says the Davis series has been a cornerstone of the label. "Documenting Miles' career for the last 10 years has been one of the premier historical jazz reissue projects," he says. "He was at Columbia for 30 years. I can't think of anyone else who had such a long affiliation. He recorded a diversity of music, and we've been able to find a decent amount of unreleased material." As for "Seven Steps," Rothstein says he is fascinated by Davis' intuitive genius. "Here's Miles who loses John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans and then his rhythm section. He's a giant. He's searching for a new sound, and he does it again." The series will continue with a box that focuses on Davis' electric period from 1972 to 1975. Currently slated for a fall 2005 release, it will again be co-produced by Davis authorities Bob Belden and Michael Cuscuna. Reuters/Billboard Quote
dave9199 Posted September 26, 2004 Report Posted September 26, 2004 (edited) Wow, that's the first I've heard of a box for the post Jack Johnson period. Wonder what made them change their minds? ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) They kind of dropped the ball now, because the only era not represented in a box like these is the Mobley line up. It would've been about 6 cds with Someday My Prince Will Come, Complete Blackhawk & Carnegie Hall. Maybe they'll "rethink" that one too. I'd buy it but the number on the box would be, what, 1.5?

jazzbo Posted September 26, 2004 Report Posted September 26, 2004 I'm sure that the executives would have been swayed by the money they could make on the post Jack Johnson box. BUT I would not at all doubt that the producers (especially Bob Belden) have a sincere wish for this material to be given a box set. . . . Kudos to Michael and Bob, I really love this series and am glad that this is not the final box! I really hope one day there will be a Miles at the Fillmore box. . .When I interviewed Michael Cuscuna some years back he responded to my inquiry about a release of the Fillmore material without edits hopefully, saying that there was a desire to produce the release and he felt a possibility the idea would have label support. In this same conversation he revealed to me that the Cellar Door material was planned for release (and we're still waiting, with hope). Quote

Kudos to Michael and Bob, I really love this series and am glad that this is not the final box! I'm with you on that. I am a big fan of this series, and it never made sense from the original announcement that it would stop at 1970. There is a lot of material after that, up to 1975. I hope they include the Agharta and Pangaea material in this next box. This is very good news. Quote
jazzbo Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Is this REALLY going to be out tomorrow? (Ya never know with Columbia!) Quote
J.A.W. Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Is this REALLY going to be out tomorrow? (Ya never know with Columbia!) According to my CDUniverse order status it's shipping now Quote
jazzbo Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Yes, my order history says the same thing! I'm a little like Mulder, and a little like Scully. . . . I want to believe. . . but. . . ! Quote
