Sent To The Gallows

 

Miles Davis - Ascenseur Pour L'Échafaud [SR13/1 FRA 2021 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Originally recorded at Le Poste Parisien Studio in Paris on December 4th & 5th 1957 and released on Fontana Records, in Europe only during 1958 as the soundtrack to the Louis Malle French-noir movie,  Ascenseur Pour L'Échafaud.

Nearly all subsequent represses of this ten inch album were from fake stereo digital transfers, however Paris label Sam Records succeeded in sourcing the original mono master tapes and released this pure all analogue repress (or facsimile as they like to call it) in two limited runs of 1000 pressings.

This rip should have appeared yesterday, but as I am quite busy will real world work, I hope the jazz fans among Needle Time followers won't mind some Monday jazz.

    This is in my top three Jazz albums of all time. Glad to see you have a copy. Curious to know if my slightly less recent vinyl copy is truly from the original masters as well: https://www.discogs.com/release/12060443-Miles-Davis-Ascenseur-Pour-L%C3%A9chafaud

      Possibly ....if there was a stereo master in addition to the analog. Most stuff cut at Abbey Road these days is from digital transfers of master tapes.

    People can do their own research but I believe this was improvised by the band as they watched an early print of the movie. (Lift To The Scaffold [or Gallows] in English).
