"I'll play it and tell you what it is later..." These are the famous words Miles utters at the start of this historic album. The impromptu nature of this set for Prestige is all there on the record, with little edited out. The Esquire pressing is the same high quality & well on a par with the expensive US original in terms of sound quality. Once you know the album & realise there are many different pressings out there, you'll naturally want to investigate the best. Bear in the mind the physical conditions of the original tapes. The 1/4" tape reels from these sessions were more than 40 years old when the 1996 remasters were prepared & were more than 50 years old when the set was prepared again in 2008. The tapes are known to be brittle, especially where they were spliced & oxide was pulled from the tape. They are saturated in places. Several dropouts are audible on the remasters & there are even jumps & some seconds missing in a number of tunes. This first issue British vinyl pressing from 1958 suffers none of this...
Condition :-
Obtained from a one previous owner collection of 1950s modern jazz rarities, this example has been kept under lock & key for over sixty years. The sleeve remains in Very Good Plus condition. There is no writing or seam splits & the flipbacks are firmly intact. There is some chipping/peeling to the laminate at the edges. Due to the flimsy nature of the design, there is some ring wear causing a faint crease. It's really as good as it gets!
The heavyweight vinyl still shines both sides & is remarkably clean looking. The vinyl grades Excellent & sound clarity is superb. This record has been played a couple of times in its lifetime & has no scratches or significant groove wear. A great find & recommended.
