"Is that what you wanted, Alfred?"

[Guest]

My first side to side listen on original pressing vinyl yesterday and I caught this comment. I assume it was edited out from the CD release and not just sub-audible. One of the treasures of having the original. What a great record. I was a bit dismayed that the only player not even mentioned in the liner notes is Sam Jones and I feel like he was nearly perfect on that session. How about some respect for the backbone, huh?

[Chuck Nessa]

It is clearly audible on the current cd version.

I've owned two different CD versions (the McMaster and the RVG) and both have concluded with the line, "Is that what you wanted, Alfred?" Never heard of a CD version (domestic or import) that cut that part...

Played backwards though it says " I killed Paul"- DG Mono's only of course

[Alexander]

What does it say when you reverse the polarity?

In my Liberty pressing I hear clearly 'I fillet Paul'

I'll go back and listen to it. I've spun that CD a jillion times and have never picked up on that. If say it's there, then I'm sure it's there.

[Free For All]

Somethin' Else was my first RVG. I thought the improvement over the previous release was significant on this one, one of the best sounding of all the RVGs IMHO!

I always wondered if Miles' comment to Alfred wasn't left in there to tweak the honchos at Columbia. Wasn't there some controversy that Miles' contract prevented him from doing this date?

[Alexander Hawkins]

It's quite a cool coda to an album, really. Just in the same way that Sonny's 'OK, fellas' is a brilliant way to start 'Work Time'.

But not quite on the level of banter that Jackie Mc's A Long Drink of the Blues reaches...

[Guest]

I stand entirely corrected. Pulled my CD out tonight and right there on the end of One for Daddy O was Miles bantering with Mr. Lions. Don't know how I never caught that before.

Maybe a seperate thread of recorded Miles quotes. The immediate other that comes to mind was "I'll play it first and then tell you what it is"

Always heard Miles say 'I'll play it first and tell you what it is later' on that Prestige record session.

Right.

That PIERCING whistle followed by "Block chords . .. block chords"

[Cali]

There's also, "See how that sounds, Teo" and "Teo play that. Teo...Teo...Teo. Teo play that", from MILES SMILES. In fact Miles says something at the end of most of the tracks on MS.

[Little High People]

Teo: "Is this going to be part two?"

Miles: "It's gonna be part NINE, what difference does it make, motherf***er!"

Teo: "All right, all right! Here we go, this is part something ... "

i've always liked the comment on the Xmas Eve '54 date when after Monk and Miles argue, Miles tells the engineer to leave the fight on the record.

No, when the red light is on you gotta pay the girl.

No, when the red light is on you gotta pay the girl.

Speaking from experience, eh?

Something Else is a major work, in my opinion - something which has always bothered me, as well, is how it never seems to be noted that this recording, though under Cannonball's name, is very much a warmup to Kind of Blue - Miles's blues playing, in particular, shows that he was really working on distilling his scale ideas -
