Gary Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I've just had this Email from Legacy about the next Miles box but it doesn't really say alot (except that there going to stop the metal spined editions) Miles Davis News February 2004 + Seven Steps To Berlin Box Information (#3 in the series) + Metal Spine Series Update + Valentine's Day Gift Ideas: Love Songs! BOX SET #3 SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 2004 Columbia/Legacy is proud to announce the latest release in its Miles Davis reissue series entitled Seven Steps To Berlin (Box #3). This release, one of 7 total sets in the series, is part one of the most comprehensive and critically-acclaimed reissue programs dedicated to a single artist in the music industry. http://www.miles-davis.com/boxsets.html. MILES DAVIS THE COMPLETE 1963-64 COLUMBIA RECORDINGS Limited Edition Spine Box Set Series Columbia/Legacy Jazz will soon stop producing the Miles Davis metal-spined box sets. Now is the time to purchase these Grammy-winning, deluxe collectors' editions, as they will no longer be available once our current inventory is finished. We will soon be manufacturing these same sets without the metal spines, but with all of the same contents and attention to every facet of detail. Look for these specially-priced editions in mid-May.

J.A.W. Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Gary, you can delete the thread yourself by going to the menu at the lower left hand corner and choose "delete this topic" or whatever it says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) There, I've jettisoned mine away. We can delete any topic we start I think; there is a little "Moderation Options" field down in the left corner. Hans showed me that trick some time ago--thanks Hans! I think this is a stinking lousy gimmick, this deleting the spined sets! And it would work on me if I didn't have these already; I like the metal spined sets!

jazzbo Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Damn, you're right, I keep forgetting! Are we still battling the Red Menace? Oh now it's Terrorism now. I get so confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 sorry for the confusion Lon. I agree about the spines - they look great on the shelf. I was a bit disapointed the email doesnt really hint at when the new box is comming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Lon, you killed my post! Hope this does not diminish my post count After my now deleted rant, I was trying to post the following (while you were obviously deleting at the same time): Uh, besides: THIS IS GREAT NEWS! Thanks for sharing! I'm really looking forward to this release. I only heard the (probably rather disappointing) studio sessions with Feldman, Bond, Butler etc. once, years ago, but I know and have most of the concerts (the Antibes, the 1964, Berlin). The big surprise for me will be the Tokyo concert with Sam Rivers. Never heard it! And I really like these boxes, too! I got them all, most of them right after they were in the shops. ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hey, and just to be sure about the metal spines: the In A Silent Way box had no metal spine in the US, either, yes? ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hey, and just to be sure about the metal spines: the In A Silent Way box had no metal spine in the US, either, yes? ubu Mine did.

jazzbo Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Yes, In A Silent Way never did have a metal spine. I figured that may have been because it was "A New Direction in Music." Okay, if that were the case the Quintet box would have only a half-assed spine. So here's the 64 dollar question: will #3 have a metal spine?

I bought mine fairly soon after it was released and it does not have a metal spine. OK, let's take it easy, gentlemen. Mine didn't come with the metal spine either. The real question here is whether Mosaic will release the lp version of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Now you've ruined my day Had not noticed yet my copy of the 'In a Silent Way' box had no metal spine. I want my money back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 surprise for me will be the Tokyo concert with Sam Rivers. Never heard it! likewise. I'm really loking forward to hearing this set. I've never heard Seven Steps to Heaven, either, but that's not exciting me as much, for some reason.

ghost of miles Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I'm not as fond of the metal spines as others, evidently. They do indeed look nice, but they tend towards an unpleasant cracking sensation whenever I'm reading the booklets therein. Glad to hear that the 1963-64 box is rumbling down the tracks, though. Will this be the last one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Wood Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I should bop you all collectively over the head with the metal spine. As long as the music still is available, that is what is most important. Sheesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 This is the last one folks! The last one! Til they announce a new limited edition series. .. . I know this is supposed to be the last one, but where the f%*& are the seventies studio dates???? Calling box #8! Calling box #8! And then, the live stuff was supposed to be the Plugged Nickel and Blackhawk only, no additional material from any of the later dates, yet there will be a box with the complete Live-Evil material... Let's hope they release more from the Fillmore concerts, too! ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the music still is available, that is what is most important. Sheesh! I've just checked the board rules & I think its ok if we mention covers & spines as well as the music! I thought we were discussing what was in the Legacy Email , or should we ignore the bits that dont involve the music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
