Miles Davis - In Europe (UK) – 1st Mono Pressing – Orange...

A highly desirable original 1964 UK first mono pressing of Miles Davis *In Europe*, issued on the classic rough-textured orange CBS label. Recorded live at the Antibes International Jazz Festival in 1963, this album captures one of Miles Davis' most exciting transitional groups, featuring Miles Davis on trumpet, George Coleman on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums. The performance documents Miles at a crucial moment, already moving toward the extraordinary Second Great Quintet period that would define much of his mid-1960s work. The earliest UK copies feature the distinctive plain orange CBS labels with rough textured surfaces, an instantly recognisable feature of CBS's early British production. Original UK jazz titles from this period are especially attractive to collectors because of their characteristic heavy, textured label presentation and period mono mastering. The album includes powerful live performances of Autumn Leaves, Milestones, Joshua and other material that would become central to Miles' repertoire during this period. ⸻ Sleeve (VG+): The original UK laminated sleeve remains very solid and presents well. There is some light age-related handling and modest edge and corner wear, but no major structural problems. The artwork remains strong and attractive and the sleeve retains very good overall presentation → VG+ Vinyl (EX): A particularly attractive copy. The vinyl retains a beautiful deep gloss and presents extremely cleanly overall. There is a small amount of light cloudiness visible in places, but this is entirely superficial and cannot be felt. There are no deep marks or distracting scratches and only minimal evidence of previous play. Overall a genuinely strong EX example → EX ⸻ Details * UK first mono pressing * CBS catalogue BPG 62390 * Orange textured CBS labels * Recorded live at Antibes International Jazz Festival, 1963 * Made in England
