VMP Anthology goes beyond the seven albums included in your box. Alongside your box and the albums within it, we provide in-depth, original Listening Notes and a digestible multi-episode podcast to serve as your definitive guide though these records. VMP Anthology isn't just a box set that's supposed to gather dust on your shelves - it's an immersive and transformative story that comes alive for you to spend weeks or longer! We can't wait for you to dive deeper into Miles Davis' history and the albums in this box.
The seven albums - In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, A Tribute to Jack Johnson, Live-Evil, On The Corner, Big Fun and Get Up With It - have all been mastered AAA from 1-to-1 tape transfers of the master tapes by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound. The 11 LPs featured in the box come on 180g black vinyl, pressed at GZ, and will be limited in the first edition to 2,000 units. These albums have not been reissued AAA in many years, and in some cases, ever. Read the story of these seven albums in a very special 24-page Listening Notes and photo booklet written by jazz critic and historian Ben Ratliff. Designed in-house at VMP, these records are housed in a deluxe box featuring an iconic portrait of Miles in the style of the great Tadayuki Naitoh, and metallic silver ink on the text.The inner slipcase features a full-band live photo from the era. How Was The Audio Sourced? All seven of the albums in this VMP Anthology are AAA, cut directly from fully analog tape-to-tape transfers of the master tapes by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound.
