Several resellers of the box set claim that only all the discs save one are still in shrink wrap. Doesn't surprise me. It's quite different from anything else I've heard from him.
I have yet to find that recording. I did pick up Miles Ahead today.
Did you check out the Shepp link?

I love Art Pepper. I saw him perform in the 70's. What a thrill.
Must have been a treat to hear him live.
