jazzbo Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 I need to find that one I guess. I just have the DSD before that . . . which sounds great. Flurin, you're right, I was thinking of the Fillmore, In Concert, Live/Evil digipaks. . . I replaced all those with SACDs or DSD Japanese copies and forgot that Agharta and Pangaea were in jewel cases. Anyway it seems to me this is the jewel case remasterings. The proof is in the pudding so we have a few months to see. Quote
porcy62 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) At last!!! I am going to sell all my Mosaic's LP box sets, plus the Columbia CD sets and the other original and japan pressings in order to have this gem!!! Does anybody need a KOB, original mono pressing?

A Lark Ascending Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Does anybody need a KOB, original mono pressing? Would I be right in thinking that this is the 'only' way to hear Kind of Blue? Quote

Matter of taste I presume, the remixed stereo version on the Mosaic is quite good too, to my ears, just different. I don't believe in dogma like this, maybe because I was born in 1962, I wasn't there when KOB reached record's shops, so I am not emotionally attached to one specific version. Quote

The proof is in the pudding so we have a few months to see. Thanks for one more confirmation! I held off buying these two until some months ago, when I gave up hopes for new versions... anyway, I'm no audiophile, so those shall be ok for me, I guess. Quote
gmonahan Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Does anybody need a KOB, original mono pressing? Would I be right in thinking that this is the 'only' way to hear Kind of Blue? I think they really need to reissue that one. It's so ignored. greg mo Quote
CJ Shearn Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 which discs are pictured in the Legacy link with the 6 eye design with "STEREO FIDELITY" written? They must have changed the CD label design for some albums. I will wait till they release the DVD separately. Quote
dcscott Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 They have for pre-order at Amazon Canada for $259.99 CDN. Not bad $3.66/disc. Quote
brownie Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 Amazon.fr has a promo video of the content in their page on that box: The Complete Miles Davis box video Quote
sidewinder Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Thanks Brownie - pretty nice set of coasters there Edited October 15, 2009 by sidewinder Quote
djcavanagh Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 £140 at amazon.co.uk - the amazon.com price does seem too high relative to the others. Quote
JETman Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 £140 at amazon.co.uk - the amazon.com price does seem too high relative to the others. Not so. On a US dollar basis, it's about even with Amazon Canada, and considerably less than Amazon US. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 I just want the box to house 40 something columb/prestige mini-lps. Anyone wants to sell theirs......I'm buying!! Quote
JETman Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 I just want the box to house 40 something columb/prestige mini-lps. Anyone wants to sell theirs......I'm buying!! I house my mini-lps in file storage boxes. This works well for me. No need to get the Miles box. Quote

On a US dollar basis, it's about even with Amazon Canada, and considerably less than Amazon US. I agree - I said that it is the amazon.com (US) price that is out of line. The .co.uk price is actually marginally better than the .ca price. Quote
medjuck Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 The last couple of paragraphs in this article imply that the new material and remasters may be available separately someday (though there's not much information as to what that new material might be). http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/...0,6182371.story Quote
brownie Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 The box is out in Paris stores now! Quote

JETman Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 The picture in the article makes me think that they might not have taken the cheap route with the sleeves. Quote
king ubu Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Posted November 18, 2009 What was there that still needed remastering? The 1949 Paris set, the comeback albums, the unreleased material - all else was recently remastered for the recent box sets. I do hope however that some of these come out on their own - I'd buy the unreleased items of course! Also I still don't have "Star Time", which seems to be one of the best of the 80s albums (I've heard it once, years ago, a friend's LP) Quote
