This photo of the late, great Andy Gill and 3 others of mine are in the book that comes in the Go4 box set; they were taken at the Geary Temple/Temple Beautiful in San Francisco in 1979 when they were supporting Buzzcocks. They remembered that show so well they even gave it its own chapter in the book....
Anyway, there are two more Miles Mo-Fi SACDs I'm looking to get to complete my "want collection" - Sketches in Spain, and 'Round About Midnight. That would add to the...
Porgy and Bess
Bitches Brew
Kind of Blue
In a Silent Way
Miles Smiles
Sorcerer
On The Corner.
Nefertiti
Though my top 5 in no particular order would be Porgy and Bess; Kind of Blue; In a Silent Way; Bitches Brew; and Sketches in Spain
Well, I just got this in today. Listening to it now, and it sounds wonderful as all Mo-Fi releases do, though Kind of Blue and In a Silent Way are still tops for me.
Anyway, this particular purchase completes my Mo-Fi CD collection in which I wanted for my five favorite Miles albums....
I think most Miles fans would have 4 of those (in no particular order) - Kind of Blue, Bitches Brew, In A Silent Way, and Sketches of Spain in their top 5. Most would probably have A Tribute to Jack Johnson in that top 5 instead of Porgy and Bess. Won't argue that; I just prefer Porgy and Bess there, Jack Johnson would 6 in my top 10. That's me.
Before I forget, be aware the Mo-Fi's SACD releases are of the original album release: all those other CDs with extra tracks, that's not these. If you want extra / alternate tracks, look elsewhere. Also, why I'm holding onto my other releases. You also don't get the in-depth booklets found with the Columbia Legacy releases. Just FYI.
The reason I love these Mo-FI SACD releases (even though I don't have a SACD player) is because they have an analog sound about them and are very quiet and clean. And definitely not loud. A complaint I hear often about some audiophile CD releases.
