Reviews:

''The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions'' is a four-disc box set of music recordings by trumpeter Miles Davis. The set collects tracks that Davis recorded between August 19, 1969 and February 6, 1970, including the 1970 double album ''Bitches Brew'' in its entirety. However, the title of the box set is somewhat of a misnomer: outside of the ''Bitches Brew'' tracks themselves, none of the other tracks appeared on ''Bitches Brew'' upon its original release, nor were they recorded during the same August 1969 sessions that resulted in ''Bitches Brew''. Furthermore, additional material recorded for, but not used in ''Bitches Brew'', is not included in this set.

The box set includes some tracks that had never been previously released, one of which, the Wayne Shorter composition "Feio," has since appeared as a bonus track on compact disc reissues of ''Bitches Brew''. Other tracks in the box set had previously appeared on the albums ''Live-Evil'', ''Big Fun'', and ''Circle in the Round''.

''The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions'' is number "6" in a series of Miles Davis box sets by Columbia Legacy/Sony Music (the numbering scheme refers to the chronological order of the original recordings, not the release order of the box sets themselves). The set was reissued on 11 May 2004 with new packaging. - Wikipedia
