That double CD is just so good. I was disappointed when I first bought the LP and realised half of it wasn't there.

In many ways it is to be expected. The dividing line between the chosen take and the outtake is going to be small in jazz, and sometimes the outtakes are going to be as good if not better.

With the Ornette Atlantic outtake records, I am always impressed at how many great songs he had lying around that just didn't make it onto the official albums. 

The most extreme case from my point of view is not Ornette, but the Frank Lowe album Black Beings, for which the outtake section reintroduced on CD is substantially superior to the original LP. 

😎 Oh yeah, so glad to have picked up Black Beings for that very reason too.

Concerning Atlantic Ornette, right, there were some gems that sat in the can, and seemingly, if you don't own the box, or expanded editions, they're scattered all over the place, e.g., Twins, To Whom...etc.

At least Columbia released it all at once, with a "come and get it", mentality.

So my son (16 now) asked me to play Miles (he stared at the wall, while were playing pool above; that's been there for years). We started with "So What" He dug it...WOAH! Coolest night of my life! 

What a paralel !!!! Same here. My younger kid also heard his first Miles "WE WANT MILES" and dug it so much. Later I let him hear also some old Miles (Miles in the Sky or something like that) and later "Agharta", all of them great. 

He´s been living for many many many years in Spania but when he come´s by here, he sometimes: "spin some Miles, pops" and we listen....
