Just got my VMP Electric Miles Davis box set about an hour ago in the mail, and am currently running the LP's through my DeGritter and reading the enclosed booklet before starting on them later...
Wow ... hundreds of $$ worth of vinyl. How many albums are there? Happy listening! :)

Where specifically??? Quote the actually sentence where it's misspelled "Sultana"

I see this... "Satana - an obvious keyboard stroke mistake, since the name is correctly spelled in other places :wink:

Agree... you do need to get out more :thinking:

Movin on :sunglasses:

It was supposed to be funny, pointing out your spelling of an iconic band by misspelling it myself :sweat_smile:
Oh well here's some music :relaxed:

In addition to RCBinTN's question, what albums as you mention "Electric Miles" and none of the album posted by RCBinTN are electric.

Also, what's a "DeGritter"? Does it include a cleaning solution? If so, why run new albums through it? I get you want to rid particles, but I'd think a wipe would be sufficient.

I'm listening to the first great quintet. They were acoustic. Mr. @LarsMan ordered him some vinyl of Miles' electric music. Both wonderful, in their own way, and completely different. :)

The set has:
In A Silent Way
Bitch's Brew
Tribute to Jack Johnson
Live Evil
On The Corner
Big Fun
Get Down With It

... and a very informative booklet written by Ben Ratliff

I've also got Bitch's Brew and Jack Johnson on MoFi Original Master Records, so it will be interesting to compare them.

Yes, I know this; we've talked about those albums in you post before and I stated I had all of them. Yes, they are acoustic.

My question is to LarsMan on his use of "Electric Miles"? If he has "electric Miles, then the album you posted are not those.

And for the record, I did mention acoustic and electric miles > here :wink:

It's all Miles Davis music!
DeGritter is an ultrasonic record cleaning machine. I do not use a cleaning solution, just distilled water. There is always some debris from the pressing plant that gets into the grooves, especially if it's put in a paper sleeve, and should be removed for the best sound. A wipe will not get into the groove. Also, while these Miles Davis records DID come in polyline sleeves, for records I buy that come in paper sleeves (most of them), I always replace those sleeves with polylined ones. Less expensive polyline ones are no different from those sold by Mobile Fidelity.

Thanks for clearing that up.

And would be interested to hear your take on the Mo-Fi comparison. As you might remember, I've a number of Miles Mo-Fi SACDs, including Bitches Brew. No vinyl though. I do have Jack Johnson, but that's a Blu-Spec CD.

Got/get it :thumbsup:

I did the same when I was collecting vinyl. Use to buy the Discwasher sleeves ...
