2010 issue US limited edition 5 FORMAT boxset - Recorded at the end of a tumultuous decade [August 1969], 'Bitches Brew' reflected the chaos and beauty of a society stretched and stressed to its breaking point. This genre-bending, barrier-smashing album of boldly new music with dense textures and lengthy performances broke every rule of commerciality. This deluxe boxset edition comprises 3CDs featuring the original 94-plus minutes of music, expanded with 6 Bonus Recordings including alternate takes & single edits of 'Spanish Key', 'John McLaughlin', 'Miles Runs The Voodoo Down', 'Great Expectations' & 'Little Blue Frog', alongside a previously unissued performance at Tanglewood, August 1970, with Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, Airto Moreira & Gary Bartz; a DVD containing a previously unreleased performance captured live in Copenhagen, November 1969, with Wayne Shorter, Corea, Holland & DeJohnette; plus a 2LP Set pressed on 180gram Audiophile Vinyl housed in a replica gatefold picture sleeve. All beautifully presented in an expansive & lavishly-designed, 12" slipcase box set complete with a full-size [12" x 12"] 52-page book with a 5,000-word essay by Greg Tate; producers' notes by Michael Cuscuna and Richard Seidel [the box's co-producers]; and Lenny White interview by author Ashley Kahn. The book features Mati Klarwein's painting Zonked [a psychedelic portrait of Miles Davis' wife, Betty, which also encodes a profile of Miles] on its cover, and dozens of rare, unpublished photographs and record label memos, and a memorabilia envelope containing a reproduction of the Davis Rolling Stone cover story from December 1969, previously unseen correspondence from Teo Macero's archives, reproductions of three Fillmore West concert tickets from April 1970, high quality photograph prints, and a foldout poster of Miles Davis!).
