Was this Miles Davis Steamin LP a rare find?


I just picked this up, QRP Sealed. I checked AS website just to see if I could have purchased it online, and it's only available in mono. At that point, I figured that's what I grabbed from the record shop. But after checking the LP, it does not indicate it's mono anywhere. The spine says prestige 7200, back bottom says copyright 2014 Analog productions. Gold QRP logo as normal on outer sleeve. I assume what I purchased was a recently OOP stereo version.

That's too funny. Now I don't feel bad for not grabbing the Miles: Relaxin LP. Thanks Rshak. Cheers -Don
Thanks- What I meant by not feeling bad about passing was I can still get from Acoustic Sounds. So it's not like I passed on an Out of Print record that I can't get at all.

I could have been clearer. I have enjoyed the handful of mono pressing I have, though can't help but wonder how much better they would be with a mono cartridge. Agreed, the Mono Beatles were very well done. I really enjoy Rubber Soul, but have yet to open my mono Sergeant Pepper LP. I hear you Johnnyb.
If the QRP STEAMIN is good, I may jump on Relaxin.
Very cool. Will have to give Sgt Pepper and the QRP Miles an Audio Intelligent bath and a spin. Johnnyb53- Which Beach Boys Mono do you have. I assume Surfin USA. Michael F. really liked that one. I prefer their later stuff, and am waiting on Surfs Up. I also have an early press of Sunflower, which I enjoy quite a bit. Even my Pet Sounds remaster from the Late 90's is quite good. I have TODAY on the newer CAP vault remasters, and it's not good at all. So I steer clear of those. Cheers -Don
Thanks Lewm, I would love to have some Art Pepper in my collection. I have heard +11 is an outstanding recording. The QRP Steamin LP was all I could have hoped for. Warm, but not that fuzzy, lack of detail type warm. Piano was just right, with good decay. Bass and drums nicely balanced in the mix, with Miles trumpet having just the right amount of bite. I had the DCC gold CD of Steamin, but this LP is pretty special. Kudos to Chad and the QRP team. Oreganpapa- I know at 30 bucks, these aren't cheap. But that Miles 1st press you picked up was a lucky day. Most of the Original press top jazz stuff is pricey. Thanks for the suggestion on that Miles LP. I should mention the record shop I was in was The Jazz Record Center in NYC. If jazz is your thing, don't go to NYC without checking this shop out. Cheers -Don
