Such peak lyricism, flourishes, and phrases are experienced in the highest-possible fidelity on Mobile Fidelity's 45RPM 2LP set.

Miles Davis' Only Studio Album with His Original Sextet: Milestones Features John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley
Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 33RPM LP Presents 1958 Benchmark in Riveting Mono Sound
1/4" / 15 IPS analog mono master to DSD 64 to analog console to lathe
Miles Davis created just one studio album with his original sextet. He made every moment count. Pairing with Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones, the trumpeter not only laid the groundwork for the modalism that immediately followed but tailored a genuine modern-jazz masterwork laden with performances among the most explosive of his distinguished career. Due to its sandwiched position between the more famous 'Round About Midnightand epochal Kind of Blue, Milestones remains, for too many music lovers, an overlooked classic.
Miles Davis – My Funny Valentine – Mofi 180g Vinyl
Deep Emotions, Spontaneous Brilliance, Sensitive Beauty, And Sublime Poignancy
1/4" / 15 IPS analog copy to DSD 64 to analog console to lathe
Miles Davis' My Funny Valentine marks several historic turning points. For Davis, the live album represents the final time on record he'd perform standards rather than original compositions. It also stands as one of the last documents made by the same band that created Seven Steps to Heaven. As such, the work teems with bebop melodicism yet steers clear of Davis' oft-controversial avant-garde leanings. Most significantly, however, the set captures the ballads performed at a benefit concert from New York's then-new Philharmonic Hall just months after President Kennedy's assassination. Tapping into a seemingly divine inspiration, Davis never sounded so elegant or poetic.
Miles Davis – On the Corner – Mofi 180g Super Vinyl
Available to Pre-Order
1/4" / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe
Miles Davis' boundlessly influential On the Corner was so far ahead of its time upon release in 1972, the jazz cognoscenti rejected its groundbreaking concoction as middling in nature. Yet time has a way of righting wrongs and shifting views by adding needed context and perspective to visionary ideas, music, and approaches — the likes of which fill Davis' boldest and most controversial — undertaking. Designed to bring the focus back on the groove and bottom-end frequencies, the funk-loaded On the Corner revolutionized jazz. It also set new standards for record production, presaging remixing and electronica by more than a decade. And the work has never sounded more thrilling thanks to this very special pressing.
Miles Davis – Round About Midnight – Speakers Corner 180g Vinyl LP
Few musicians have managed to change the course of music–trumpeter Miles Davis did it several times. An early disciple of Charlie Parker, Davis created an austere, understated approach that became the model for cool. His superb albums in the 1950s made him a star, and in the following decade, he brought small-group jazz to the limit before he unapologetically (and, for some, unforgivably) took on jazz-rock. After a break, he re-emerged in the ’80s with a mixture of pop and dense, bristling funk. All the while, his refusal to follow anyone but his own muse made him both a hero and an enigma–either way, he was one of the most magnetic, influential figures in American music.

Seven Steps to Heaven arrived at a crucial junction in Miles Davis' career. Recorded at two separate locations in spring 1963, it served as Davis' first release in more than a year – a layoff that was then unprecedented for the jazz visionary who had issued at least one LP a year since debuting in the early '50s. Equally notable, Seven Steps to Heaven marks the point at which the core of Davis' Second Great Quintet started to assemble. The twice Grammy-nominated effort is also Davis' final studio record to blend standards with originals. And it happens to be one of the expressive, well-played albums in the jazz canon.Miles Davis – Seven Steps to Heaven – Mofi SACD

Miles Davis – Bags Groove (mono) – Analogue Productions 180 Gram Vinyl Record
For sale individually and as part of Analogue Productions’ Prestige Mono Series.
There are a multitude of reasons why Bags’ Groove remains a cornerstone of the post-bop genre.
Of course, says All Music Guide, there will always be the lure of the urban myth surrounding the Christmas Eve 1954 session — featuring Thelonious Monk — which is documented on the two takes of the title track.
There are obviously more tangible elements, such as Davis’ practically telepathic runs with Sonny Rollins (tenor sax). Or Horace Silver’s (piano) uncanny ability to provide a stream of chord progressions that supply a second inconspicuous lead without ever overpowering.
