Philharmonie, West Berlin, Germany

Performed: 1985-11-01
Broadcast: 20.05.2016-05-20 & 21.05.2016-05-21 (*) 320/48 TS-file recorded by Lewojazz > I-Sound (44.1k wav)

Fine Lewojazz art is also included - thanks !!

Thanks also to plaz_restore for supplying the many versions of this concert in order to find the best quality
patch material.

Contrast clause: Both sources are very much lower quality sound quality
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=544643 is 192k digital + FM Valleybird re-seed

http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=503930 is original Valleybird, remastered by plaz-restore
and used to patch the missing 26sec at the beginning of tracks 01

Quality: EX
===========

Unlike many, what a wonderful surprise to get the complete continuous concert with no announcer intrusion,
which is the respect that should always be shown to this great artist / concert. It is the best possible sound
quality available and should now be the true definitive edition.

Note that the stereo mix is typical of older Miles concerts, with little in the middle and instuments bunched
towards the left or right speakers and little in the middle, which could be fixed. However it is not too
distracting and you do get used to it over extended listening.
