Chuck Nessa Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) It's possible that the new LPs were made from the original LP cutting master, i.e. a tape that is equalised for LP cutting and that is a generation down from the actual master tape. It's possible Legacy is just saving the original mix for ANOTHER CD reissue, perhaps the 50th Anniversary. The settings made by the guy cutting the lp laquers makes all the difference, no matter the source.

CJ Shearn Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) Isn't the Tanglewood set available at Wolfgangs Vault? Edited September 24, 2010 by CJ Shearn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) As I mentioned in post #56 above, there is a Miles at Tanglewood set available at Wolfgang's vault dated 8/18/70. 1) What is the date of the Tanglewood set in the big box? 2) What else is in the big box that's not in the 1998 box or the Legacy set? Bertrand. P.S. Amazon and Wolfgang show the same track listing. Amazon shows nothing else in the box except the vinyl version.

jazzbo Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I'm 99 percent certain the same show is on Wolfgang's. And there's audio AND video on blogs. But some of us want to collect physical product, the more official the better. Aside from the Tanglewood the box has no audio or video not included on the Legacy set, some alternate and single pieces not in the box and of course the video. There's also printed material in this edition not available in the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I found a press release on the web which confirms that the Tanglewood in the box is the same date as Wolfgang. I would have preferred an actual CD, but I really don't think the shows on Wolfgang's vault are boots. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Probably someone else who somehow thinks I'm being a drama queen. Perhaps it's time for me to move on. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikefok Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Is it a bit too much on Miles' reissue? ? Sorry, i just wonder the frequent reissue is a kind of marketing game rather than offering the Miles' fans with better sound of the original recording.

skeith Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Having first watched the DVD, I have been listening to the cds on the new Legacy edition. The sound is fine, but not as warm as the Japanese Mastersound edition, even though the Japanese version I have used the US (Wilder) remaster - go figure. While the alternates are fine, I do miss having "Feio" which I think fits better with the other Bitches Brew tracks, "Great Expectations" and "Little Blue Frog"- with the use of sitar - sound out of place to me on Bitches Brew and of course, belong on Big Fun.

Cliff Englewood Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 O.K., so I caved and bought the new 3 disc Legacy Edition and I have to say it is probably worth getting it even if you are already familar with the album. The DVD is very good even though I probably won't watch it all that often, they defintely get better as the gig proceeds, they are just fantastic on the last few tunes. The new alternates are very good too, maybe because "Spanish Key" and "John McLaughlin" happen to be 2 tunes I really like anyway, but overall worth getting IMHO.

I'd agree, worth getting, a good buy at the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get credit for my old copy, and "Feio" never did a thing for me so I'd be better off without that track in my life. I do have vinyl to hear the original mix though sadly it has loads of surface noise. Edited October 12, 2010 by Quincy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Why not buy something new? Actually I have been, though majority has been rock. I also said "might." The DVD included is newer than the upcoming Ellington Mosaic will be for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on "Feio", every time I hear it I always think it sounds not just unfinished but unstarted. :g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Chuck will be very happy ever, with anything, but maybe as he and his company concentrate on nothing but re-issues, at the moment anyway, he should refrain from commenting when people choose to spend their time and money on other re-issues.
