Miles Davis - Water Babies (Columbia 1976)



This one came from Lans' collection and finishes off the Miles Davis records. I think there might have been a couple of clicks and pops but generally the vinyl quality was a non-issue. There appear to have been a few versions of this single album on CD; a delux edition with bonus tracks, a remastered version and an import. Amazon's offerings range from 7 to 27 bucks while resellers have offerings from under 5 to nearly 20. Per Wikipedia:


Water Babies is a studio album by Miles Davis released nearly ten years after it was recorded. It features the same line up of musicians from Filles de Kilimanjaro and Nefertiti.

That places the recording a few years before Bitches Brew and a few years after Seven Steps to Heaven. All but one of the tracks are Wayne Shorter compositions. I found it to be quite listenable.
