Star People by Miles Davis.
When Miles Davis released "Star People" in 1983, he was deep into a bold electric period, and this album captures that restless energy at full throttle. Now, for the first time ever, it arrives as a 2LP set, giving these blistering performances the room they deserve to breathe across four sides of black wax.
The record opens with the sprawling "Come Get It," a track that sets the tone for everything that follows: bristling, kinetic, and utterly alive. From there the album moves through "It Gets Better" and "Speak" on side B, before the title cut "Star People" claims an entire side to itself, a testament to the piece's ambition and scope.
Sides C and D carry that momentum forward, with the title track anchoring the third side and "U 'n' I" and "Star On Cicely" rounding out the set. Together these six tracks trace the sound of an artist in perpetual motion, always pushing forward, never content to repeat himself.
The audiophile presentation here is meticulous. The all analog (AAA) lacquers were cut directly from the tapes by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound, then plated at Welcome to 1979, and pressed on 180g black audiophile vinyl at RTI. This is a chain of craftsmanship built to honor the raw electricity of the original recordings, delivering the music with the depth and clarity these performances demand.
Rounding out the package is a listening notes booklet by Harmony Holiday, offering context and reflection to accompany the music. It's the kind of thoughtful addition that turns a spin of the record into a fuller experience, inviting you to sit with the album and consider its place in the Davis catalog.
For collectors and newcomers alike, this reissue is a chance to hear "Star People" the way it was meant to be heard, spread generously across two LPs and pressed with obsessive care. A vital document of Miles in his electric prime, ready for the turntable.
