Miles Davis – Bags Groove

Quote: "Doing some digging around and found this on an old thread here at the Hoffman site:
"Analogue Productions selected a number of OJC titles to reissue with original Fantasy mastering but pressed on 180 gram vinyl at RTI" I think that's what this is. I have an '86 OJC of Bags Groove –
Moonbeams is another one of these pressings - The Bill Evans Trio - Moon Beams ...
[Information which is not credited on the release itself: The "GI" written on both sides of the deadwax is the etching originally inscribed by the Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Carrollton, GA for the Original Jazz Classics stamper of this album. The Original Jazz Classics release from 1990 was pressed there, but not this release. This was pressed using the Original Jazz Classics stamper provided by Fantasy, Inc. to Acoustic Sounds. .... It's definitely in the period before they started pressing in-house at Quality Records.
It would be cool to figure out the list of all the titles done in the series. ... this 180g reissue is top-notch.

Incredible sounding hot-wax, mastered & pressed with the utmost fidelity. Formulated with dead-silent vinyl as well.

I have a REI sticker-labelled "Marketed by Acoustic Sounds - Pressed by RTI on 180 gr." released abt. 2002 with the same barcode and matrix nos. Having not heard the more recent AP releases, I am amazed how great this earlier REI sounds on the very fine RTI pressing. And, yes, A2 has these distortions assumingly originating from the master tape. A very recommendable release especially for the current market price. Definitely worth a buy!

Well, i 'think' i have this disc. Runouts same, labels same, Matrix and Cat #s same. But my disc is 200 grams. I have weighed it !. Yep 200. So, can the other owners please comment on this. if they own standard weight discs, then i will need to create yet another release version.

Baggs Grove by Miles Davis with Thelonious Monk. These two #JAZZ musicians did not like each other. They were both recording on Prestige Records and the label demanded they go into the studio and make something work. Here are a couple of quotes on the 1954 session:
"This is the session where Miles asked Monk to lay out (not play) during his (Miles) choruses. Monk, who comes to play although he had practiced the idea of laying out himself long before this session, was insulted by the request. After Miles' beautifully logical solo Milt plays a forceful declarative one as Monk comps timidly at first for him. Thelonious' solo follows and he tosses rhythmic figures around like someone bouncing a rubber ball off a wall, but drops out again as Miles re-emerges to sum up in a model solo".
Baggs Groove (liner notes)

"This album is notable as the only time Thelonious Monk made a studio recording with Miles Davis – the two men did not get on well, as Davis felt Monk ought to be "laying out" (refraining from playing) during the trumpeter's solos."
Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants

I`ve got this record, it is made in . Should I list this as a "other versions"? Thanks in advance for any response, Torstein Newth

Quality release, very quiet w/ good sound stage, and of course it has those pops that everyone talks about in A2. Glad they are not related to pressing but mastertapes, and for the price this is a great reissue of a classic line up.
