·       IMPORTANT NOTE: WE ARE SELLING THIS ALBUM AS STILL SEALED DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE SHRINK WRAP HAS SEPARATED ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH ON THE SPINE SIDE. IT IS OBVIOUS FROM THE APPEARANCE AND THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE ALBUM THAT THIS ALBUM HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED, AND THAT THE SEAL ALONG THE OPENING (MOUTH) OF THE ALBUM HAS BEEN INTACT AND UNTOUCHED SINCE THE ALBUM LEFT THE FACTORY, MORE THAN 45 YEARS AGO. WE UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THIS IS A STILL FACTORY SEALED ITEM. PLEASE BID IN CONFIDENCE.

·       THE THICKNESS OF THE VINYL, THE APPEARANCE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COVER, LABEL’S LOGO AND OTHER PERIPHERAL ELEMENTS OF THE COVER, ARE ALL PERFECTLY CONSISTENT WITH THE ORIGINAL, FIRST PRESSING OF THIS TITLE.

·       ONE “BREATHE” (AIR) HOLE NOTED ON THE SHRINK WRAP

·       THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       ORIGINAL GATEFOLD COVER, MADE OF THICK CARDBOARD (AMERICAN STYLE) 

·       FAIRLY THICK VINYL PRESSING On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least thick, and  10 being the thickest), we assess the thickness of the vinyl as 7.

With the critical reviews for Bitches Brew popping up in everything from local and national newspapers to jazz magazines, and Steve Grossman firmly established in the saxophone chair recently vacated by Wayne Shorter, Miles threw his band a curve ball. He added Keith Jarrett on organ to a group that already included bassist Dave Holland, electric pianist Chick Corea, percussionist Airto Moreira, and drummer Jack DeJohnette for a four-night stand at the Fillmore East. This double-LP/CD package puts together selections from each night, without regard for repetition. It's fine that there are numerous performances of certain tunes: the problem is that, although the music is compelling, it's schizophrenic because there are no full performances on the final release; they were all edited severely (as was standard practice by Teo Macero and Davis). Rather than the long jams that fans and foes had been accustomed to hearing, presented here are snippets taken from the heart of the performances, such as two and a half minutes from "Directions" and eight from the center of "It's About That Time" (which sounds a hell of a lot like Weather Report's "125th Street Congress" from Sweetnighter). To compound this, when the music from Friday night actually collects some of the music from Thursday night -- different segments are edited within tunes, the grooves don't necessarily match and for this set (unlike many other live Miles dates) just as a composition starts to gel, it segues into another rather abruptly. Organically, in a live setting, it isn't the way Miles worked; pieces would evolve, slowly, with a kind of spooky continuity. Black Beauty set is preferable to this one, though there isn't any Jarrett, or the March 7, 1970 issue on CD called It's About That Time (which does include Jarrett) because both contain continuous performances. This collection only reveals that the band was capable of blowing everybody's mind; though that never actually happens.
