[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



First released in 1959, mine is a '97 reissue. Liner notes say side 1 of the album was recorded at the wrong speed,
thus the need to correct the problem. If you say so label heads. Not that I don't believe that, but wouldn't you
think that maybe someone like Miles Davis would have noticed something like that when it was released. I'm just
sayin. The other difference from the original is the addition of an alternate take of Flamenco Sketches. I would
have to play them side by side to know the difference, but I guess the Miles heads would know. I do know they're
different because the second one is 6 seconds longer. I knew there was something missing from that first one. Now
that those gripes are out of the way, this is a superb album. Only one track of the five I don't love. Won't count
that alternate take. The cast includes Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans and John Coltrane. Although disputed, this
has been listed as the best selling jazz album of all time. Chosen by the Library Of Congress to be included in the
National Recording Registry and listed as #12 in Rolling Stones Greatest Albums Of All Time. A must have in any
jazz collection.
