Talk:Live-Evil (Miles Davis album)

Old talk

Roberts clearly says Innamoratu. Apparently, the transcriptions are imperfect. Another imperfection of the transcriptions floating on the Internet: he says lived, not live. Turn up the volume & listen, folks. Dogru144, 03:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Wiktionary tells us what inamorata means. Maybe the narrator is saying inamorato, the feminine form of the word. Nowhere is there a word called inamoratu (to my knowledge). The song is called Inamorata (The narration is actually over the top of an excerpt of 'Its About That Time', but that's another matter). As such, I'll change it back to inamorata, unless someone can actually find the word inamoratu, and hear it clearly in the piece. 220.233.74.210 12:49, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what this sentence fragment is trying to convey: "this black-is-live/white-is-evil vision should be replaced in the Black Power era." Toscaesque 02:10, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Citation

Can someone please provide a specific page number, or other citation, for the following statement:

"Davis had originally intended the album to be a spiritual successor to Bitches Brew, but this idea was abandoned when it became obvious that Live-Evil was "something completely different"."

I cannot find anything resembling this quote anywhere in Miles' autobiography and it's driving me nuts. If nothing can be found then the citation should be removed. Mendali 11:44, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Writing credits

Different issues of this album have given credit for composing a few of the tracks to different artists. The 1971 US LP credits all the tracks to Davis, except for "Double Image," credited to Zawinul. This 1971 LP (reportedly produced for export), in contrast, credits "Little Church" and "Nem um talvez" to Pascoal. This 1997 CD, as well as this 2010 CD, credit only "Little Church" to Pascoal- but the 2010 CD credits the publishing of "Nem um talvez" to "Hermeto Pascoal Publishing Designee" alongside Davis's publishing company.

Under these circumstances, how should the composer credits be presented? Should they be listed at all, if there're conflicting sources? Is there a definitive source that could resolve this conflict? Presently, the article credits the writing of "Little Church," "Nem um talvez," and "Selim" to Hermeto Pascoal, though so far as I can tell, Pascoal has never been credited with writing "Selim" on any release of the album. (These credits were added in 2014, and it's not clear where they came from.) Yspaddadenpenkawr (talk) 01:20, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
