Miles Davis
The Last Word: The Warner Brothers Years CD 1-4





Originally slated for release August 2002, Rhino pulled Miles Davis' The Last Word from rotation stating: "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, told ICE magazine.

"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." (ICE, July 30,2002).

What the hell is that all about? You hold in your hands a copy of the promo sent out to the press and to retailers.
