Miles Davis – Jack Johnson (Original Soundtrack Recording)

Excellent sounding record, nothing else to say.

Oh I need 10 words to submit this review

Amazing reissue. Dynamic AF. The closest Miles ever got to a pure rock album. Canon!

Ok, so another triumph for the Miles catalog by MoFi - I was surprised by the things I heard on side 2 of this record, more depth revealed

Played on a Dual 1219 with Stanton 680 cart with fineline stylus, into tube phono stage, Yamaha A-S701 amp and Klipsch KG 5.2 speakers

Great release! I used to have only the MOV version of this album. Since I have almost all the other Miles Mofi reissues and love them all, I was determined to find this one too. In the beginning, I thought I like the MOV a bit more, particularly for the highs in the drums. Then, I played both loud and the Mofi was significantly better. It was denser (like a more complex texture) and much more controlled in the highs and lows. The MOV was a bit tiring towards the end, while the Mofi was delightful from start to finish. They both had a comparable soundstage but the imaging was just better in the Mofi. The cover of the Mofi is really gorgeous. I love the design on the inside. Regarding the pressing, both records were great but the MOV was just a bit better. I have the impression that while the Record Industry is just a good pressing plant when it comes to other reissue labels, it becomes one of the best when they press their own records (MOV reissues). I hear only 2 noticeable but not distracting ticks on side A and some crackle here and there in the Mofi version; and a virtually perfect pressing in the MOV. Overall, $40 for the Mofi is an incredible deal for such a great release, but if you have the MOV and you just want a good-sounding version, then you might not need the Mofi

Side one - noisy in quieter parts ! About 20 clicks...has been washed in ultrasonic. Arrived dirty. Unbelievable !

This pressing sounds outstanding! I wish all of Mofis records met this quality. These $40 miles Davis represses sound better than any of there one steps I have

Available at Mobile Fidelity’s website at the moment if you want to pay the regular price.

It’s with releases like this when I wonder if we really need 45RPM super duper magic potion One Step UHQR releases. Over 25 minutes are squeezed on both sides. And it’s super dynamic, super detailed, with a very big and precise soundstage, pressed on super quiet vinyl. In sparsely instrumented places there is that very faint guitar amp hum emerging from complete silence (considering it’s placement I reckon it’s the bass), so faint in most pressings it would be be muted by vinyl noise. It says it all. Amazing music with a mastering and pressing quality which is nothing short of spectacular.

An amazing album, if you want to hear Miles and his band absolutely rock out, this one is for you. A great blend of rock and jazz, this is an underrated gem in his catalog. And the MoFi sounds absolutely killer. This is a forever pressing for your jazz collection and I'd jump on this while still available at somewhat reasonable prices.

One of my favorite Miles Davis records! The shredding guitar on side 1 sounds incredible and smooth! The horn is clear and detailed. Flat and dead quite pressing. A must own
