Rather than give a review of this excellent collection I will leave that to other Miles Davis Experts.
However the track listing is essential to have knowledge of because there are, at the time of writing this review, 3 boxed sets of Miles Davis on release.
This is a link to the others.
Original Album ClassicsOriginal Album ClassicsThis set is the 'cuckoo' in the nest in that it has only 3 CDs in contrast to the other 5 CD sets.
A minor point is that although they say 'Original Album' series the sets are often the far better remastered versions often with extra tracks.
Certainly at least one of the sets with 5 CDs in this series has 4 out of the five with extra tracks.
This simply makes them wonderful value and will no doubt tempt those who have the originals with out the extra tracks to buy this inexpensive set.
I should advise you to check carefully to see if that is the case with this set.
The sets have lovely little card covers which divides opinion on their merits. I love them. The sleeves are contained in a cardboard box that is about the size of the old 2 CD Jewel boxes which makes storage a breeze.
If you buy all three sets you will get 12 CDs for the price of 3 -terrific value.
I suggest you check out the tracks and compare and contrast with the originals and watch out for the experts on Miles Davis' music reviews.
