The 4-CD Rhino box 'The Last Word' will apparently include live material and studio rarities from the Warner years, ... Curiously, Jazzmatazz lists this as cancelled, but that's news to me. There was a feature in ICE in July, as I recall. Alan, you know something you're not sharing?
I'll share this:

<< tuesday july 30, 2002 >> << Some late-breaking bad news for Miles Davis fans: Warner Bros. has canceled the release of The Last Word: The Warner Bros. Years, a four-CD box set that we announced in our July issue. >> << "We deeply regret the fact that we will not be releasing [the box set] on August 20," David Dorn, VP of Media Relations for Warner Strategic Marketing, tells ICE. "Our commitment has always been to offer consumers the best possible audio and video products for the best possible value. Due to developing circumstances beyond our control, we felt that this box set would not, in its finished form, meet our standards, or the standards our customers expect from our products." >>
