Columbia, 1984. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $9.99
The decoy here might be in the rhythms, which are often electric, but still played live – handled by Robert Irving III on many tracks, with a cool 80s fusion sound that's mighty nice!

Columbia, 1965. Near Mint- ... $79.99
An album of dark and subtle beauty – and still one of our favorite Miles Davis albums of all time!
