Miles Davis Box Set - £13

Sounds expensive to me! 

These European grey market releases are pretty nice if you want to get into an artist on the cheap.

i purchased a box-set last August, and they all sound fab (musically and sonically)

Very Recommended imho, a true bargain for 13 quid : )

Not when you don't like MD.

BigH47, I fail to comprehend your statement. So, you would buy them if you liked MD?

Tony,

That has to be the first Top Stupid Question of 2012 so far.

We are only on the 3rd Jan

So, would you buy them if you liked MD?

Yeah, Stu. Seeing some of your posts in the past I'll take it as a compliment. 

Still , you keep me and others entertained.

Cheers mate and happy new year,

.

The problem for me would be that although I like Miles, I tend to listen only occasionally in small bites and when I do it is generally the choices that everybody recommends (Birth of the Cool, Sketches of Spain, Bitches Brew, Kind of Blue and, of course, In a Silent Way). I wonder how much of 20 CD set I'd sit and listen to. In the past I'd have snapped this up because of its price, but now I wonder if a few well chosen pieces is more appropriate for me. 

It is not just Miles I'm thinking of applying that approach to. I have more Keith Emerson recordings than probably Keith does himself, but I only listen to a few favourites; the rest is simply my rather silly urge for completeness. And some Vincent Crane recordings I have are dreadful; I'm sure even Vince, were he still around, would say why have you kept that?  

Nonetheless I'm always grateful for such posts as a bargain is a bargain.

It is good value at 65p per CD.

I used to pay 50p a time for blank CD-Rs and when viewed like that it is remarkable. 

Guido,

That the great thing about holding your music electronically.

Historically I would have put on a few albums, and listened to at least a side. No I generally listen to smaller, more varied selections, for instance this morning:

Eagles / Star Wars Original Soundtrack / Oscar Peterson / Prokofiev Romeo & Juliet / Rossini Barber of Seville / Bon Jovi Keep the Faith.

Of which the Oscar Peterson & Prokofiev did I listened to in its entirety.

P.S. WRT to Leveson, I saw your tag on the BBC and suspected it was one and the same, hence my question.

There are a lot of different "Eight Albums" collections available at the same low price and worth at least a browse. Pulling up one at Amazon gets you links to the others. They're all "temporarily out of stock" here in the States, but private sellers have them for the same price.
