Liner notes

First pressing on red "two-eye" Columbia "360 Sound" stereo labels. This version pressed at [[label:Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Santa Maria]], as indicated by the "S" etched in the runouts. Remainder of runouts mostly stamped, including Customatrix "o" stamp, plating (e.g., "A6") may be etched. Wayne Shorter is the songwriter for track D2, Sanctuary. On this early release, an additional songwriter credit was mistakenly given to Miles Davis. The corrected version can be found here: [r=9842586]. Pressing variation to [r=9782567] (Terre Haute) and [r=12032942] (Pitman). Released in a gatefold jacket. Interior gatefold panel: Manufactured by [[label:Columbia Records]]/[CBS, Inc.](/label/211334)/51 W. 52 Street, New York, N.Y./ ® "[[label:Columbia]]," Marcas Reg. Printed in U.S.A. Full title printed on the front cover: "Directions In Music By [[artist:Miles Davis]] Miles Davis Bitches Brew". The "𝕊" in variant 3's side D runout is an overwritten S with an extra leg. Some copies have "Demonstration Not For Sale" stamps on the cover.
