Agharta (180 gram pressing) ... LP Columbia/4 Men With Beards, 1975. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A seminal 70s side from Miles Davis – originally a Japanese recording, and one that returns to the solid push of the initial electric years!

(Super-nice heavy vinyl pressing!)
Miles Davis —
Bitches Brew ... LP Columbia, 1969. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the few cases in jazz where an oft-played classic still resonates with power! The record itself is a key cap to Miles Davis' already-groundbreaking years of the 60s – a bold step forward, not just for his nascent electric sound, but also for jazz in general – and the benchmark ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Miles Davis —
Dark Magus (180 gram pressing) ... LP Columbia/4 Men With Beards, 1974. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
Some of Miles noisiest, freest playing from the 70s – recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1974, and originally issued only in Japan – most likely because the album was so darn noisy, Columbia was scared to release it to the American market! As with other Davis gems from this time, the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jazz Track (mono) ... LP Columbia, 1958. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Kind Of Blue (mono) (180 gram pressing) ... LP Columbia, 1959. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
What can we say? This is the ultimate Miles Davis album – the one that includes so many songs that we've heard way too much in Starbucks, in retail stores, or at a friend's house who claims to be a "jazz expert", but is really a yuppie dilettante. Yet somehow, over all the years, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Milestones (180 gram vinyl – mono edition) ... LP Columbia, 1958. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of our 50s favorites by Miles Davis – and a record that offers the same twin-sax sound as his classic Kind Of Blue – with both John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley working alongside Miles in the group!

On The Corner (180 gram pressing) ... LP Columbia, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A sublime bit of Miles Davis electric funk – one of the best-remembered electric sets from the 70s, and for good reason too!

Round About Midnight (180 gram vinyl – mono edition) ... LP Columbia, 1956. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Sketches Of Spain (180 gram vinyl mono edition) ... LP Columbia, 1960. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A beautiful collaboration between Miles Davis and the great Gil Evans – and perhaps the most perfectly realized of all their projects!

A masterful tribute from one bad cat to another – and easily one of Miles Davis' greatest electric albums ever!

Live In Tokyo (Japanese pressing) ... LP Columbia (Japan), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $54.99
