FIRST PICTURES / Miles Davis: Bitches Brew repackage

On the money with the amazon packaging scandal, the best example the recent Superdeluxe Zeppelin box sets sent out in a large Amazon box with a few strips of paper inside! All went back for refund and i later paid more
to an independent store that shipped correctly. There is a lesson there, but greed and Amazon’s low low prices hook me back in, time after time.

I was reading through these posts again and realised that Neil Wilkes at the top is right. Where is the Quad mix? Surely if it’s available to “get” as a bootleg it must be in existence. It’s a shame it wasn’t included. Maybe Sony is holding it back for a future release.

if only the rest could take a lesson from amazon japan with their packaging, theirs is always exemplary

16.99 euro on Amazon.de right now, 18.13, 29.05.15. ordered.

I always thought this was a bit lacking in new content when it was the full size box. But a tenner on Marketplace makes this worthwhile.

A shop near me was doing individual discs from the Complete Columbia Recordings box for £3 singles and £4 doubles. I wish I’d known then that BB from the box was the original mix. I only know the remix.

Never thought to return my Deluxe Digipacks to Amazon ‘cos of damaged spines. Maybe I should “raise my expectations”! I suppose they rely on the majority of customers just accepting that as a risk of the delivery process. Also, those plastic “teeth” which keep the CD’s in place are often broken. Infuriating! If I felt I had to return every one of those I’d be as well moving into my post-office!
What’s worse recently is the new delivery service “Amazon Logistics”. Twice in the past couple of weeks they’ve posted my parcel through a neighbors letterbox. The most recent package was handed to a neighbor and a “you were out” card posted through my letterbox. This despite the fact that:
1. It was a CD and the package would easily have posted through my letter box.
2. It was NOT a “signed-for” delivery!
I expect a BBC Watchdog expose shortly. Dolts!

Thank you for the article. It looks great. The link for the U.S. shows a 2010 edition, though. I will check it again in a few days to see if Amazon updated it to the new version.

now £24.99 on Amazon, although a lot of third party sellers have it for around £10!

Got it fir some 17€ from amazon.de. On the shelf already!

Two comments Paul and I hope you don’t mind. One relates to your product photography. I have to say that the plain white backgrounds you use to use at the beginning were a lot cleaner. I’m not a fan of the white foam for a background. Otherwise the detail you present in your photos is great, especially for someone who will not purchase the particular physical product, but would like a closer look anyway.
Second comment relates to the physical state of the items you often show in this blog. I’ve noticed lately that many items have slight dents or bends in a corner, something that I’m sure many collectors find extremely annoying. I too have found a lot of products arriving in the mail have a little damage, especially from Amazon. They often place large items in a box and simply stuff some paper on top of it, hoping that nothing will happpen in transit.

That Amazon price (£130) must be a mistake, but this is Amazon we are talking about. But in the market place you can get it for less than £12 which is more than likely less than the Amazon price will be when they rectify it.

Being a new convert in a way to jazz and Miles Davis, course I`ve heard stuff before, I`ve taken a leap of faith and ordered the S.E. with the LP from Amazon Italy for less than £47. Bitches Brew is an album I am familiar with, much more `rocky`, I remember there was a lot of flack fired in MD`s direction at the time for releasing a `non-jazz` LP. Sounds good to me.

Grooves-inc.com have it for a little under 16 Euro. Bargain!

It was £19.99 on uk amazon 3 or 4 days ago stan.
Suddenly it rocketed . Price gouging to fleece a few unsuspecting souls as its release was imminent . Cynical dogs!!!

Why is the Quad mix not included?

What’s with the ridiculous price (£130) on Amazon UK, Paul, compared to the other countries?
