A beautiful collaboration between Miles Davis and the great Gil Evans – and perhaps the most perfectly realized of all their projects! The album's got a wonderfully unified feel – as it begins with long compositions that have a distinct Spanish-tinge (and not a Latin-tinge, which is an important distinction to the way the album progresses.) Evans' arrangements have a majesty that takes the songs to the next level – working them as lush, lively backings for Davis' equally majestic trumpet solos, some of the finest he ever recorded with large group backing. Wonderful all the way through – and with the tracks "Concierto De Aranjuez", "Saeta", "The Pan Piper", and "Solea".

Limited to 5000 copies.Paper sleeve. THINK, credited to James Brown and The Famous Flames was originally released as KING 12-683 in 1960. It was Brown's third album, and as with most of his non-live pre-1970's albums, it contains previously released singles. Here it's some of his final Federal and early King sides. All songs are backed by his first great "James Brown Band" lead by J.C. Davis. Tracks 11 & 12 are James solo without The Flames. It was reissued numerous times throughout his career, some with different covers.

I enjoy this collection a bit more than the first hits collection. He was definitely growing into the best singer around.
