Miles Davis / The Complete Prestige: 10-Inch LP Collection / vinyl box set
Prestige Records (a division of Concord Bicycle Music) will release Miles Davis: The Complete Prestige 10-Inch LP Collection, an 11LP box set in May.
Issued to celebrate what would have been Davis’ 90th birthday, this new collection presents all ten 10-inch LPs on which Miles Davis appeared as a young leader for Prestige Records, during the 10-inch LP era, from 1951 to 1954.
This set actually consists of eleven records, since it includes a bonus LP featuring Davis as a guest artist with Lee Konitz, accurately reproduced on 10-inch vinyl, with the original LP cover artwork and liner notes included.
The complete list of albums includes: Modern Jazz Trumpets (featuring Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Dorham and Fats Navarro); The New Sounds; Blue Period; Miles Plays the Compositions of Al Cohn; Miles Davis Quartet; Miles Davis All Star Sextet; Miles Davis Quintet; Miles Davis with Sonny Rollins; Miles Davis All Stars, Vol. 1; Miles Davis All Stars, Vol. 2 and Lee Konitz’s The New Sounds.
This comes with a 16-page booklet featuring rare photographs and new notes by author Ashley Kahn, as well as a print of a painting by Miles.
Miles Davis: The Complete Prestige 10-Inch LP Collection will be released on 13 May 2016.
