MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES AND LIMITED TO 10,000 NUMBERED COPIESJulian Cannonball Adderley's only Blue Note album, Somethin' Else, would likely forever be famous in music lore if just for the presence of Miles Davis.

Offering reference-caliber sonics, this spectacular collector's version provides a clear, transparent, ultra-dynamic, and up-close view of a cornerstone effort that witnesses Adderley and Davis sharing horn duty alone for the only time in their fabled careers - an arrangement that occurred as a result of Adderley having joined Davis' majestic sextet a year prior.The premium packaging and beautiful presentation of the UD1S Somethin' Else pressing befit it's extremely select status.

Aurally and visually, this UD1S reissue exists as a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, touched, and examined. It
