The Original Master
Miles Davis - Milestones [MFSL 1-374 USA 2013 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]
Originally released on Columbia Records in 1958.
From the years between 'Round About Midnight and A Kind Of Blue, Milestones tends to be overlooked as one of the great Miles Davis albums. It should never, especially as it features the iconic title track, all performed by the classic line-up of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones and Red Garland. Aside from the title track, you really need to hear Billy Boy.
Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab treated us to this superb mono pressing about ten years back cut from the original master tape via a DSD-digital step, but please don't let that put you off, you will unlikely hear a better pressing of this album. Please never be tempted by the cheap nasty grey market European pressings on Jazz Images, Dol Records, Jazz Wax Records or Ermitage - they all came from highly dubious sources - this is the one to have.

ReplyDeletethanks a bunch for another Masterpiece, Blogmeister 👍🔊🎶
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for this. I just have the 'columbia jazz masterpieces' CD version. It claims to be 'directly from the original analog tapes', but who knows. I suspect your version will sound amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this one too.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good. So smooth. It has nudged my 2012 mono out to the Recycle Bin. Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
