Talk:Miles Davis discography

message: I don't know much about most of the post-retirement recordings, and I know at least some of them need moving to the "live" section.  It might also be a good idea to add some annotation in some cases, if there is not a page for that particular album.  I also think years given for live albums (and possibly all of them?) ought to be the year of recording not of release.  --Andrew Norman 10:49, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
I've removed most of the links - it seems daft to have a huge list of links to non-existent articles (which in some cases may never exist).  People can easily add links if they create articles for each of the albums.  --Andrew Norman 14:35, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
*Some of the albums exist in wikipedia, they're just named slightly differently. So a red link does not necessarilly mean it does not exist. Gflores Talk 08:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Miles Davis and Horns 

message: The Subtitel is not right. With all the containd LP´s it must be "1945-1961 (Prestige / Debut)" or change the LP content. PS.: Great Article, hope i can see the discography growing...:-)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.146.241.162 (talk) 11:56, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Section "Studio albums" > Titel "1945-1956" 

message: The nature of the jazz recording world makes it hard to have a standardized discography format for any artists in the genre, so I appreciate the efforts so far of those involved at making this article as good as it is.  However, I have a few issues with the way some of the content in this discog has been ordered.  First, I like how the albums are all sorted by release date, but I think that the recording year (sometimes radically different) should be mentioned.  Newcomers to Miles might view this article and not realize there is any distinction.  Secondly, The section "Collaborations" might be better renamed to "Albums Recorded As Sideman," as it is called on the discography pages of other artists.  Also of issue for me is the "Box Sets" section.  I like that there is a section for the Columbia numbered box sets, but I don't like that box sets outside of the series are in the same section.  I also don't know how I feel about Circle in the Round, Birth of the Cool and Miles Davis Vols. 1 and 2 being in the compilation section, as they feature exclusive and unreleased music, and therefore seem more like studio albums to me.  I'm not sure what the consensus is on this issue, however, maybe one can be reached here?  And the entry "Miles Davis in Europe" 1964 in the compilation section is merely a duplication of the "Live in Europe" album above in the live section, where it belongs. I can fix that.  One more thing.  The use of the terms "Columbia", "Sony", "Legacy, "Sony/Legacy", and "Columbia/Legacy" all seem to be interchanging freely in this article even though they are basically all referring to the same entity.  Not sure what the best fix for that is, though.  Thanks for reading, and once again thanks for the so far very good article.

replies: text: Thank you for your great effort to review this discography! 
*I don't think this should be sorted by the recording date. Most of the recordings are not available, so I see no problems to sort by release date.
* Collaborations -> Albums Recorded As Sideman
* Numbered box sets -> Compilation box sets
*Circle in the Round, Birth of the Cool and Miles Davis Vols. 1 and 2: Mh, Allmusic says they are compilation albums. I will have a look at this.
*"Columbia", "Sony", "Legacy, "Sony/Legacy", and "Columbia/Legacy": I don't exactly understand what you mean.
Again thank you to review this list! Regards.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 13:54, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some Issues 

message: Some editor or editors apparently do not understand the difference between recording date and release date of an album, as no album in history has ever been released the same day it was recorded. Release dates for jazz albums are difficult to ascertain, but putting in the recording date as the release date is just plain stupid.PJtP (talk) 03:12, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The recording dates and release dates are from Allmusic, see for example walkin'; I am also sceptical about that since I saw that, but why should they write false information?--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 18:19, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Assuming you are not being sarcastic, for starters AllMusic is not the final word on anything. They are simply copying the recording date and putting it into the release date category out of laziness. How could it be physically possible to record the music, master the discs from the tapes, write the liner notes, design the album cover, manufacture a hundred thousand or so albums, and get those albums into stores all in the same day? John Lennon was very proud that his 1970 single "Instant Karma!" arrived in stores a mere ten days after it was recorded — and this was a single, just two songs on a seven-inch 45 rpm record.PJtP (talk) 04:43, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
