Could someone familiar with this subject double-check the chronology? Should be 1951? Fx6893 (talk) 20:44, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DIG is a 12 inch lp repackaging material originally released in 10 inch lp format 4 of these tracks appeared in 1951 on the 10inch lp "the New Sounds" PRLP 124 see here for Prestiges 10inch releases, including early 50s Miles as it was originally issued http://www.jazzdisco.org/prestige-records/catalog-100-200-series/ unfortunately the Wikipedia Miles discography is a mess because I ignores the original 10inch lps -J Edward McMilesFan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.254.58 (talk) 03:48, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I added a paragraph detailing the 10inch sources this album was compiled from. I'm not sure how to structure a citation, but my primary source is this pg: http://www.jazzdisco.org/prestige-records/catalog-100-200-series, as well as http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/Disco.aspx?id=NewSounds and http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/Disco.aspx?id=BluePeriod and http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/Disco.aspx?id=Conception-LP, also this pg http://www.birkajazz.com/archive/prestige.htm

Hopefully I can figure out how to create a page for The New Sounds, as well as the other 10inch Prestige LPs. If I can, the paragraph on Jackie McLean and the evolution in Miles' style might be more appropriate there.

I think Dig was the first of several Prestige 12inch LPs reconfiguring Miles' 10inch material, at least going by this pg http://www.jazzdisco.org/prestige-records/catalog-7000-series/, but I've found nothing to explicitly say so and I may be missing something. It would be worth stating so in the text if it could be confirmed. Also nothing to state definitively "Denial" was previously unreleased but its the only track not on any of the Prestige 10inchers I've found info on .... maybe a single? otherwise I guess it's an unheralded bonus track

Remastered?[edit]

In all releases I could listen to, some tracks in this album (specially "Dig") are severely deteriorated by an inappropriate reverberation, unlikely to have been added in 1951 by the Apex engineers. The main article mentions that Rudy Van Gelder remastered this record five years later. Obviously, he would never have made such a mistake, unless he could only work on a damaged master. Anyone aware of a reverb-free release? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cedesguin (talk • contribs) 22:43, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
