Holy mutha 'o' God!
$120!!!
Gah!
Weep for my unborn children's future.
― JN$OT, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 14:35 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, why is it so much? Everything I've said says it's 6 cds. But at full price ($140, before the discount), that comes out to $23 a cd. Even at $120 that's $20 a cd. I guess they've thinking that anyone still buying Miles in 2007 has serious cash flow?
― Euler, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 14:45 (sixteen years ago) link
it's SO GREAT
― Matos W.K., Wednesday, 5 September 2007 15:03 (sixteen years ago) link
No doubt! But that price!??!
― JN$OT, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 15:05 (sixteen years ago) link
This summer I put on "Rated X" in the car, and after about a minute my four-year old son had his hands over his ears, and begged me to turn it off, because he said it was scaring him.
― Euler, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 15:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, that sounds about right. He should at least thank his lucky stars that you didn't put on Agharta or Dark Magus.
― JN$OT, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 15:12 (sixteen years ago) link
This box is ridiculously, unbelievably great. The unreleased stuff is in the same spirit as the album stuff, but totally different. Raunchier, tighter...there's one track from 1975 that's almost Chuck Mangione-like in its melodic jazzfunkiness, but then Miles's solo is this wave of contemptuous discord running straight through the middle.
― unperson, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 15:14 (sixteen years ago) link
*still* waiting for this (but thanks to unperson for getting me started!)
― Dominique, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 15:19 (sixteen years ago) link
It might be the best thing ever made (the box).
― Andy K, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 15:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Not the box itself but the music that makes up the box.
In the way that it makes you want to stop listening to everything else for a week or so.
― Andy K, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 15:22 (sixteen years ago) link
found a place that is selling it for $99.99, but you have to pre-order it:

This better come with the biggest book ever!
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 15:38 (sixteen years ago) link
Honestly I don't know when I am going to be able to justify shelling out $120 in one pop for a CD set where I already own the central record, but boy does this sound amazing.

50 pounds from Amazon.uk. Works out to about 78 euros for me (inc. s/h to Greece). Not bad. Probably not a very good idea to order from the US, though.

stop making me want this ...
― tylerw, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 18:32 (sixteen years ago) link
If I spent $30 bucks on the Rhino Handmade Cactus live thing (which was well worth it), I can sure do $120 for this.
― Bill Magill, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 19:05 (sixteen years ago) link
I jsut found the Jack Johnson box for $26 so now I have money left over for this. Maybe in two months...
― sleeve, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 19:42 (sixteen years ago) link
CD Universe has it for $105.54! http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?PID=7484370&style=music&frm=frooglemusic

Great Matos review of the box (btw, I think the last line was appropriate given the album's history, and made me laugh out loud, besides {hmm., maybe you were right in wanting it cut after all])! Can't wait to actually hear the damn thing.:

Yeah, I may the damn thing even though I'm no fan of the original.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:07 (sixteen years ago) link
is it actually out? amazon has suddenly shifted to 4-6 weeks...
― toby, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Amazon.uk release date has it coming out on Oct. 10. Oh the wait...
― JN$OT, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 14:05 (sixteen years ago) link
That's a great review.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 15:51 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah - man that's an ugly cover tho
― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 15:57 (sixteen years ago) link
don't think that's the actual cover -- just an illustration to go with the review ... i want this set bad, but i'll probably have to wait til xmas. dang.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 16:29 (sixteen years ago) link
"Apparently, Vince Wilburn (Miles' nephew) had some issue with it and pulled it at the 11th hour. This happened with the Cellar Door set and delayed it a couple months IIRC. Rumor has it it should be released the first week of October."

OTMMM
"One and One (Unedited Master)" = peak music. It's hard to believe they had that in the can and it didn't make the original album. And "Mr. Foster" is maybe the single most beautiful electric Miles recording...except for this one, recorded at the same 1975 session as "Minnie" and unacceptably left off the box because Miles doesn't play on it:

I want that box so bad, but I'm not willing to pay $400+ for it. They've got the Bitches Brew, IASW and Jack Johnson boxes for sale on his official site but sadly not this one.
― a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 2 March 2022 15:53 (two years ago) link
I paid $200 for my copy in 2016, which felt slightly insane at the time but which I don't regret at all. $400+ is beyond the pale though. I almost grabbed another one when it briefly became available again at list price a couple years ago, but it was either gonna sit on my shelf gathering dust or be predatorily flipped for profit, neither of which would have felt great.
― J. Sam, Wednesday, 2 March 2022 16:02 (two years ago) link
Yeah, I missed that window when it became available again. I placed an order, but it got canceled, annoyingly. Guess the oversold that box. Fingers crossed it comes up again.
― a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 2 March 2022 16:06 (two years ago) link
Agreed that the On the Corner set is one of the best ones in the series (In a Silent Way the perennial favorite, of course).
This outtake is stunning, J. Never heard it before. Have always thought Miles the balladeer was as alive and potent as ever in the fusion era, just not as prolific. Seems he was leaning on the organ a bit in this one, so even if he's not playing trumpet, I can't help but think there's still that undeniable haunting Miles quality to it.
