[Product Introduction]
*This product is a repress of the product released in October 2023.

The legendary live CD set left by the king of jazz, Miles Davis! Encore pressing in a complete limited edition!

2025 is also packed with anniversary topics related to "Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965"!
It will be the 30th anniversary of the release of the complete 8-disc US edition, the 60th anniversary of the recording (1965), the 85th anniversary of the birth of pianist Herbie Hancock (born in 1940) and the 80th anniversary of the birth of drummer Tony Williams (born in 1945) (died in 1997) . The year 2026 will mark the 100th anniversary of Miles Davis' birth. We would like to listen to it again as the momentum builds up!

First released in March 1992 as a 7-disc set only in Japan, it was reissued as an encore pressing in 1995, followed by an 8-disc US release of the complete Miles Davis box set, "Complete Live at the Miles Davis Concerts," which has a longer run time than the original 7-disc set. Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965".

In October 2023, the legendary box set, which has never been reissued on CD for nearly 30 years since then, will be reissued in Japan for the first time as a complete 8-CD set (the packaging follows the US version), using the latest remastered sound sources and the world's first SACD hybridization, exclusively through Tower Records. This reissue was a big hit and sold out in no time.

In 2025, an encore pressing was finally made and reissued in a limited edition of 1,000 sets!

This box contains the first and third sets on December 22 and December 23, 1965 at the Plugged Nickel club in Chicago, featuring the members of the "Second Golden Quintet," Wayne Shorter (ts), Herbie Hancock (ts), and the rest of the quintet, Herbie Hancock (p), Ron Carter (b), and Tony Williams (ds) .

At the time, free jazz was emerging as a new trend in the jazz scene, so the younger members of the band, except for Miles, began to play more free jazz-oriented music on stage after Miles' solo, and returned to their normal playing when Miles started to play again. The result is the ultimate document of 39 songs of highly tense live performance.

Chronologically speaking, this is the first live recording "Miles in Berlin" (recorded in September 1964) and the first studio recording "E.S.P." (recorded in January 1965) after Wayne Shorter joined and became a member of this quintet. This recording is also a valuable link between the second studio recording, "Miles Smiles" (October 1966) .

About the reissue:
*Original analog masters in the best condition in existence, stored overseas, were used.
*Original analog masters in the best existing condition stored overseas were used (due to the whereabouts of the master from the US CD production, which is almost equivalent in content, being unknown) .

*The CD layer also uses the latest remastered sound sources.
*Mastering engineers: Koji Suzuki and Kaoru Ishibashi (Sony Music Studio)
