A great surprise landed yesterday:

ESOTERIC only released 6-SACD boxsets before (Standards, Miles Davis, etc.) but this is the first individual release.
I already bought the 2019's Blue Note HiRes files release [96kHz ยท 24bit] (DR17) 5-track original release.
But this one adds another 8 tracks!
- Steps - What Was
- Matrix
- Now He Sings, Now He Sobs
- Now He Beats the Drum, Now He Stops
- The Law of Falling and Catching Up
--- - Samba Yantra
- Bossa
- I Don't Know
- Fragments
- Windows
- Gemini
- Pannonica
- My One and Only Love
This is the 1968 album that got Chick Corea truly recognized, made Miles David choose him for b**ches Brew, and right before he went on to boot Return to Forever.
You can clearly hear elements of "La Fiesta" and "What Game Shall Will Play Today" in Steps - What Was.
