Miles Davis: 3 in 1

~ Release by Miles Davis (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Cardboard slipcase around 3 jewel cases

Notes

Be aware there is an awful lot of confusions on which take of "But not for me" has which timing, with likely wrong sleeves.
Plosin reports take 1 as the longest, but this gets denied by the sleeve of this specific edition.
Also note that there seem to exist editions with the two tracks swapped.
So, all in all, please be extra careful and report what you get on your sleeve (title + time).
