J.A.W. Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Was Miles Davis' Complete On the Corner Sessions set only issued in the later longbox format or was it ever released as a CD-sized box and if so, did it have a metal spine?

Chuck Nessa Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Mine is the smaller version with metal spine and metal box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Thanks Chuck. That leaves me with the question if the set was ever reissued in the longbox format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Possibly not. I bought mine in March of this year as it seemed to be disappearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Uh oh...they're letting it all go OOP so we'll be forced to buy the Complete Miles Davis - 70CD + DVD! ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Thanks Chuck. That leaves me with the question if the set was ever reissued in the longbox format. I don't ever recall seeing a longbox version of this one - just the version that Chuck mentions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 They seemed to have stopped the longbox reissues at the Jack Johnson box- so no Seven Steps, Cellar Door or On the Corner longboxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 How does the mastering of He Loved Him Madly and Calypso Frelimo in the box compare to the Get Up With It 2 CD issue? Only these two tracks interest me, in this set. I currently have them on vinyl but not CD. I'd get the box to secure immaculate versions of these tracks, maybe, but I am happy with the versions I already own of the rest of the music in the set. Thanks for any input!

B. Clugston Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I only have the old muddy 2 CD Japanese version to compare to. He Loved Him Madly, in particular, and Calypso Frelimo sound better on the box set, but it's not a drastic improvement. Calypso Frelimo has always sounded partially submerged and I don't think any amount of remastering can fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Possibly not. I bought mine in March of this year as it seemed to be disappearing. Wow, I hadn't expected you'd be buying this set, Chuck. If I might ask, do you also have the complete Jack Johnson box? And/or the complete Bitches Brew set? I know these eras of Miles' career are not particularly your favorites. But I can't help but asking if you have a preference between these three eras of Miles' career?? How might you force-rank the three?? (I have all of them, and the one I listen to the least (by far) is the complete Bitches Brew set. I've never been able to get my ears fully wrapped around the BB material.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have all the boxes and my impressions ain't you're bidness. I listen to all kinds of things and don't necessarily like all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
