In den Box-Sets wird nirgends was zu Mono/Stereo gesagt, wenn ich mich nicht irre?
Miles‘ Alben erschienen ja bis 1968 auch noch in Mono – „Quiet Nights“ hätte sehr gut in die Box gepasst – auch weil es zusammen mit „Someday My Prince Will Come“ eine Art Zwischenablum ist, bevor es mit „Seven Steps to Heaven“ quasi neu losging.
Klingt fast, als könnte Sony da einen Plan haben:
All that’s missing from this set are the remainder of Davis’ mono Columbia albums. A number of live albums were originally released in mono, as were the balance of the artist’s studio albums through 1968: Quiet Nights, Seven Steps to Heaven, E.S.P., Miles Smiles, Sorcerer, Nefertiti and Miles in the Sky. Although the controversial Gil Evans-arranged Quiet Nights would have stylistically fit in this box set, Seven Steps began a new era for Davis. That album’s Ron Carter, Tony Williams and Herbie Hancock would all play a crucial role in the next step of his development. Hopefully The Original Mono Recordings Volume Two will arrive to tell that story.
