Japanese CD editions cost a fortune. Why? They have cooler versions, remastered to the max, okay, but some are priced at 60-100 euros.

I found it for $5.99, and as I tell you this, I have a big smile on my face; after all, it excites me to own such a musical masterpiece on my shelf...

In euros? Because on Discogs the cheapest Japan edition is 15 euros.

Anyway, my point was broader. Although I agree that asking a user like that randomly doesn’t make sense.

Yes in euros... listening to music is my favorite hobby, but I would never spend 60 euros on a record... as Beefheart used to say: "I don’t want to sell my music. I want to give it away, because where I got it from you don't have to pay to have it." So here I am, the listener, if satisfied (I've known this record for three years, so today I gladly paid 6 euros), I pay a modest sum to "thank" the artist... I'm strange, but it frustrates me to see such high prices, even music is a "commodity" from which PROFIT must be made... best regards!

I honestly don’t see the high prices for music on physical media...

However, I honestly go crazy more for the electric period... even though he did great things before... Miles has always been innovative, and that's the most important thing for an artist. It's so boring to always listen to the same things; one must always renew themselves, where would creativity be otherwise? We need to look ahead... do you get what I mean?

It conveys the idea, but I do not agree with you.

What do you disagree with?

"... one must always renew oneself" On this, which I don't see as so mandatory. Important? It can be. Desirable? Definitely for the listener. Obligatory? Certainly not.

This is of course my opinion... but if you always go back on your steps, how can you grow, how can you discover new paths? It's a law of nature, you can't stop! Then if we talk about "we do this because it sells," that's a business discussion that in my opinion is definitely not good for art and for the artist! Every artist must be free to express themselves however they want; compromises stain the purity of art.

I'm not talking about sales; I'm talking about many artists who haven't had the evolution of Miles but have still been brilliant and are remembered with equal respect, some even without selling a damn compared to Miles.
