Pleased to hear you got a good copy. Mine was okay after a clean or two, which is good news as I've been after a decent pressing of this for ages...!

Maybe they can make up for it with another Anthology Facebook page, where any complaints about vmp are shot down by a group of people collectively chanting "it's all about the music". God I miss those times.

Candy is a great album... gotta love that squeaky drum pedal 😁 Along with Miles he's my favourite trumpeter, although he adds a completely different dynamic to what Miles does.

There's a ton of comments on the Steve Hoffman forum about visible scratches on the new releases when they're in poly lined sleeves, which is difficult to account for. I'm wondering if they packaged them in paper sleeves first, then got a call from Blue Note asking for the poly sleeves...

I've been streaming this for a while, so it's nice to get hold of the vinyl after a few delays. Was worth the wait.

Poor Herbie. You'd think he'd be able to do it in peace, without needing to show evidence to Rowan.

Looks a good price. Just out of curiosity, how does this album compare with his other live albums? I've got the Palais des Beaux-Arts album and it's great, and I'm trying to limit my purchases due to lack of space!!

They did other albums..?!

Personally I prefer having album covers in frames. Looks pretty cool and at least it makes some use out of those BN75s I have 😁

Wow there's an absolute ton of information there, which I'll take the time to digest. Thanks to you all for the pointers. And then there's the age old question... what would @Selaws do? 😁

Just on a side note, what kinda Miles Davis live albums do you guys own/recommend? So far I've limited myself to just the Davis and Coltrane Final Tour 1960 (the VMP release), and the Miles Davis Quintet in Europe 1967 box set....I also have Live Evil and Agharta on order. Seems like there's a...

The box looks like it's the same size as the Blue Note Review box set, which is too tall to fit in the kallax!

It's full price again now, looks like they pulled the offer...Amazon.co.uk have it for £158 tho. Don't think I need it at that price!

I'd best not share the dream I had.

This forum has a very Hoffmanesque feel to it this evening.
