Miles Davis - Plugged Nickel complete vinyl box set

[rockitman]

Anyone have it ? Is the recording quality good ? It's long OOP and commands a pretty high price on eBay. Just wondering if it's worth it ?

Superb on all accounts. IMHO, worth every penny IF you are into Miles.

It's a wonderful set documenting the peak of Miles' 2nd great quintet. (I slightly prefer the Blackhawk live set but that's just nitpicking.) Very good sonics. Whether or not it is worth the high price, I leave to the individual.

Thanks guys, that is all I need to know.

The performances are very good. It is a historic time in music for sure. There is also a Japanese pressed 2 volume set that compiles the highlights from those concerts. The full box set has many repeats, though the interpretations are slightly different.

I don't think the sound quality is particularly great. Ron Carter is mixed so low in the mix you can barely hear him.

Christian, is this being re-released or are you looking for a vintage copy?

I'm talking about the 1995 reissue.
