Want a heart attack? Crank up the volume and wait for the first note. If you survive, don't be surprised if your ears are bleeding.
This is some SHRILL shit. The same goes for everything else on the Gil Evans box set and later pieced out on the individual CD's. Just a warning.
BTW, unless you're into EQ'ing your own CD's, for Miles Ahead, check out the mono CD. I'm a little shakey on the history, but apparently this was issued on a fake stereo disc, and then around 1993, it was reissued with similar artwork (with an added Legacy logo on the back) but mastered from the original MONO mix. A touch sharp, but I hear the original LP's are like that too. Regardless, nothing like the Schaap CD which gives us a nice stereo mix with crappy EQ.
