Es fehlt einiges, was Losin listet – möglicherweise nichts Essentielles (möglicherweise ist Losin auch nicht komplett), aber bei der Gründlichkeit, mit der bei den Boxen sonst vorgegangen wurde, ist das doch ein wenig schade und man hätte halt auch gerne selber nachgeprüft, ob der Rest wirklich nur Ausschuss ist. Ein sehr rohes File, das der Überprüfung und Überarbeitung bedürfte:

*9 What They Do (take 14) (M. Davis) 12:17
The two takes of „Sound“ are Lucas solos enhanced with Teo Macero’s studio effects. „Hip Skip“ was first performed in August at Paul’s Mall. An excerpt of take 14 of „What They Do“ was used in a remix for the TDK session dated December 27, 1976, part of which is included (three times) on KOB 002. According to Pat Buzby, Pete Cosey plays drums on „Hip Skip“ because Al Foster was ill and arrived late at the session. Apparently Cosey also played drums when the group performed this tune live.

Untitled original 750505 (take 2) (M. Davis) 6:16
„Two…“ Rhythm section only
Notes:
„Minnie“ is listed as „Latin“ on KOB 002 („Unknown Sessions, Vol. 1“)
„Minnie“ is based on „Lovin‘ You“ by Richard Rudolph and Minnie Riperton, a tune which appeared on the latter’s Perfect Angel album in 1974. It also appears as the title tune on Al Foster’s Mr. Foster (Better Days (J) YX-7599), recorded in August 1979 — which makes Sony’s choice of „Mr. Foster“ for the title of a completely different tune recorded in September 1973 (and which also had a perfectly good title, „For Dave“) particularly silly.
„Untitled original 750505“ quickly entered the live book and was a standard set closer during May-July 1975. Davis occasionally plays organ during this tune. The influence of Jimi Hendrix is evident.

Song of Landa (take 6) (S. Morrison-M. Davis) 4:44
Note: The identity of the keyboard player is a mystery. Davis, playing only organ, sounds uninterested in the proceedings, and the playing is pretty uninspired throughout.

______________________________________________________________
Dass die Sachden ab 1976 fehlen, ist klar – und wirklich kein Verlust.
Dass in der Miles/Coltrane-Box das Studio-Gelaber der KoB-Session fehlt, ist hingegen mehr als verkraftbar, die BB Anniversary-Box lieferte auch nichts Essentielles aus dem Studio nach.
@nail: wenn es um die fünf oder so grossartigsten Box-Sets geht, scheidet OTC bei mir definitiv aus (die MD-Boxen als Serie gehörten aber dazu) – aber die Musik in der Box liebe ich nach wie vor heiss und innig – und ich kannte sie auch grossteils davor nicht, weil ich ja wusste, dass die Box kommen würde und geduldig wartete, statt einzelne Releases zu kaufen, von denen ich nur OTC selbst hatte.
