Miles Davis Prestige Box Set-How God Is It?


Can anyone tell me if the Prestige Box set is worth the money? I have heard for one source it's the Miles set to own. I became interested in the set after hearing the 10" Vol 1 and 3 LP's.
Two of the five titles are now available on the Analogue Prod. 45 RPM releases. Are they better than the same titles from the set?

Note to Bianchi27 - My understanding is that Mosaic will not be issuing anything further on vinyl - just seedees. The Miles Davis *In a Silent Way*, which came out last year, was the final vinyl issue from Mosaic. This is unfortunate, as I think Mosaic generally does (did) a good job on re-issues in the LP format.

Gerardff - As far as the APO Davis Prestige LPs are concerned, I really like this set and find the quality of the pressings quite good. Some were cut pretty *hot*, however (*Cookin'* comes to mind), and I found that proper cartridge alignment was critical in negotiating thru some of the hotter tracks. If you're unsure you want to spring for the whole set, I think a couple of the Davis Prestige LPs are available from APO as singles. Try one - if you like what you hear, buy the whole set and sell the single.

A bit off-subject, perhaps, but most if not all of these sessions are available as XRCDs. They sound terrific. I haven't had a chance to hear the new audiophile LP pressings, but the mid-1980s LP releases (in twofer gatefolds) sound (unsurprisingly) merely ok on my LP12...

Thanks for all the info. I decided to go for the AP Prestige Set since I had been trying for a while to get one and cannot risk another missed opportunity. I will keep my digits crossed. I have a chance for a lower numbered set, so here it goes!!
