    I’ve struggled with this album since I discovered it 25 years ago. Obviously, the quarter century engagement itself attests to the importance of the record. It is unfriendly, inaccessible and challenging. This particular pressing is a testament to MoFi’s and RTI’s voodoo. Remarkable! BITCHES BREW is the diametric opposite of bubblegum pop.

    By the way, mine is #12,859. Can anyone explain how this could possibly be a limited edition if they can press a numbered batch in 2014 and repress a second numbered batch in continuity in 2023? The numbered thing already seems kind of silly, but this turns it into satire. Might as well just press another batch of ABRAXAS 1-Steps.

      Own this and just preordered the new MOFI one step. Cant wait to hear if it improves on this already amazing pressing.

          Picked up a used NM+ pressing from the first run back in 2015 (I can tell by the advertisements enveloping the records). #5135.
          Miles (haha) better than the 2016 Sony Legacy Vinyl which i had for a couple of years. That Sony Legacy version was reasonably good but a bit edgy.
          This Mo-Fi is way more musical. Miles horn just soars. The detail, timber, attack/decay and shimmer of the instruments is incredible with no hardness at all.

            This is the pressing of Bitches Brew currently on the market. I understand the VMP is also excellent, but it is only available in their box set.

              Flat. Silent. Incredible imaging. Definitely a solid listen. All MOFIs are good, some are great. This one is great

                I grew up listening to this on cd. Getting this release, wow, so much better. Terrific!

                Superb pressing, flat, well-centered and clean discs.

                  The early issues sound better, more accurate! The 2nd coming of MOFI continues to disappoint.

                    I had to go through three copies. Each shared the same right channel distortion in the final minute or so of side one. These #’ were 11440 thru 11467. First two copies also had ticks and skips. Third/final copy was perfect except for that distortion, which I had to settle with. Curious if anyone else has a copy in this numbered range with the same issue?

                      Is there a difference between the 2014 and this new 2023 repress ? in this case maybe it should be pushed into a new release page for this 2023 repress.
