The Miles Davis Quintet – Miles Smiles

This 1977 stereo reissue is excellent in every way.

I also have a Speakers Corner mono reissue of Miles Smiles that is great, but if I had to choose, this 1977 stereo LP would be my pick.

Just received this and am quite pleased with it! I'm not noticing any lower fidelity on Side B as mentioned in several reviews. I think one reviewer stated that it sounds like a "wet blanket" on Side B and that's definitely not my experience.

The sound is beyond, absolutely great, I play this with a mono cartridge and it blows your head off. Amazing sound, dynamics and pure power.

This destroys the MOV version and is on par with the MOFI 2x12”. Sounds natural, warm yet detailed. Was lucky to find a sealed copy for $40!

There is some bass, but I had to add a subwoofer. My room is probably evidencing a bass null. That said, the null is not as pronounced with my two other versions of Miles Smiles. Ultimately, I gave this copy to my son.

Some people have reported "weird digital artifacts/buzzing sound/clicks" in Circle and Footprints, I checked my copy and I don't hear any of these issues... Anybody else doesn't hear any problems? Wondering if only some copies have these issues as mine doesn't seem to have them.

Teo, play that!
Teo...Teo...Teo...
Teo, play that...

A masterpiece. Even sounds good on this budget CD.

Incredible press, right here. All tracks are pure fire/energy. Foreshadowing what was to come.

Excellent pressing. Side A alone is worth the buy. A+!

Although the notes claim a 2000 reissue with 1980’s stampers I bought this version in 1993
