Description
Miles Davis – Bitches Brew
Columbia GP 26 • 1970 • US 2LP Gatefold
Exceptional example of Miles Davis' landmark Bitches Brew — an original 1970 US first pressing on the classic red Columbia “two-eye” 360 Sound Stereo labels.
This is the Columbia Terre Haute pressing, identified by the T in the runouts, with an especially desirable matched set of -1B matrices on all four sides.
Exact Matrix / Runout:
Side A: XSM152412-1B T
Side B: XSM152413-1B T
Side C: XSM152414-1B T
Side D: XSM152415-1B T
This early label configuration also shows the two songwriting credits on D2, “Sanctuary.”
CONDITION
Vinyl: NM- — All four sides fully play tested and sound amazing. Vinyl retains beautiful gloss and plays exceptionally cleanly throughout. Conservatively graded.
Jacket: VG++ — Very attractive original gatefold jacket with modest shelf/edge wear consistent with age. No major structural issues.
Gatefold Interior: NM- — Exceptionally clean and beautifully preserved.
Original Columbia inner sleeves included.
A superb collector-grade example of one of the most important albums in jazz history — and one that is increasingly difficult to find as a matched early Terre Haute pressing in this condition.
Records will be carefully packed outside the jacket for shipment.
