Show All 87 ReviewsThere is some distortion on side 2 when Miles' trumpet is hitting the high notes. The hissing that other people are describing is tape hiss from the recording. Apart from the very audible distortion on side 2 it's an overall good pressing. I don't have any other issues but I might try another edition of this album in the future. I think the newer editions have better sound.

This is the best that I have ever heard this album - everything is so well defined and so immediate. It might lack the soundstage of something like the MoFi, but this more than makes up for it in engagement. You can’t go wrong.

Just bought a copy of this, great copy, not warped as some color presses seem to be these days. Once I cleaned it it was dead silent and Miles sounds like he's playing right here, my setup I consider good but not over the top. Recommend.
Ironic that this kind of silent is a shitty noisy pressing. Another waste of money on a modem pressing. Honestly I’m borderline going to just buy cds.

Tried two new copies of this. Both very warped. Outer sleeves slightly damaged, inner sleeves horrible paper. Sound so-so. Pops after cleaning on the RCM. Yes, it is affordable, but I would stay clear of this one.
Agree with other reviews about the bad pressing. Side 2 is particularly bad with distorted high notes.

Anyone know if this pressing had some copies with a gold promo stamp on the back? Having a difficult time id'ing my copy

Same as previous reviewers...no hype sticker and a shitty cloudy look to surface of both sides, not flat either!!!.. after a good wet wash on the Project, it sounds lush despite the look. Very odd. No frills with this and i detest the bullshit paper inner sleeve...Why?? Why???. Poor show but sounds clear, dynamic and not a single pop.
