That's a great set, still the best way to get all of the Miles pre - 1st Great Quartet material, 30+ years on.

Those Prestige big boxes have proven to be all I need. It's all there.

Agreed (though IIRC, it leaves out the dialogue with Monk from the 12/24/54 session).

Agreed in general.  I do like the three Coltrane sub-boxes they did just before ruining everything by selling out to Concord, and sold off the Coltrane big box when I got them, but I still have the Miles, Rollins, Dolphy big boxes.  Never went for the Evans or Montgomery boxes, which seemed to have excessive length due to so many existing alternate takes by Riverside compared to Prestige.

As Wes playes totally differently solos on the alternates, I don't mind. And there are not that many on the Evans Riverside box.
