Kind of Blue

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis is an absolute classic and one of the most important jazz records ever made. Beyond the music itself, this 180-gram pressing is excellent. The vinyl feels substantial and well made, and the pressing quality is very clean. Surface noise is minimal, with quiet backgrounds that really let the music breathe. The soundstage is wide and natural, with great separation between instruments and a warmth that suits this album perfectly. The dynamics come through beautifully — the horns have body without harshness, the bass is full and controlled, and the cymbals sound smooth and natural. It’s the kind of pressing that encourages you to sit back and listen all the way through. A timeless album paired with a high-quality pressing. This is an essential record and a fantastic addition to any vinyl collection, especially if you appreciate well-pressed, great-sounding jazz on vinyl.

Love this album!

Arrived on time. CD plays beautifully I very much enjoyed it.

great tunes

ive become extremly jaded at the jazz releases in recent years. how many miles compilations do we need with clever titles like cool miles or love miles or the countless rvg reissues that have been rereleased twice in 10 years, while other music sits in the vaults. but here is a package that i must admit, i could not resist.the coffee table book included is well made loaded with great photos and commentary, all be it ,commentary weve heard a 1000 times[this is assuming that people who havent all ready fell under the spell of this masterpiece arent buying this ].this is probably an insiders purchase, those who have made love with this music setting the mood.those who have sit alone on a rainy day watching the rain pelt the ground[porgy and bess is good for that too]and those who always return to this time and time again, it is the rosetta stone of modern jazz.and i cant seem to shake its spell ,i first heard it 10 years ago, i am now 36 and i of course went head long in to miles's music as well as modern jazz and jazz rock fusion due too jazz, i just wish i would have listened to kind of blue and modern jazz sooner.i feel i wasted the first 26 years of my life listening to meaningless drivel.i remenber the first few times i listened to this, how meloncholy it was, how simmering with a slow burning heat it had . "blue in green" my favorite tune from the album has this desolation, this lonely dark brooding inner looking quality. when miles comes in with that harmon mute, he saying yeah man, i understand. life is tough some times.man that tune cuts you to the core.every composition has its own story to tell,so what, with that mysterious intro and laid back feel , freedie freeloader, with its uptown strut, its happy go lucky approach, all blues with its strolling down the street ,enjoying the sights and sound of a casual walk. and flamenco sketches, also back to that lonely blue in green feeling ,but this time with a little hope sprinkled in, i must tell you personally i have realy felt as is i got my moneys worth, the full size poster, the book, the lp, the 8 by 10 photos, bill evens's hand written liner notes.this is a celebration of the greatest jazz album of all time. and ime glad im able to enjoy this. i highly recommend this to all who have a passion for this album. if you haven't heard it. just buy the cd. discover its greatness. then later on down the road, this will be waiting . [the lp does have a warmer sound than the cd , but make sure you judge it by a good top quality turn table and tone arm, a gold needle would help too, grannies 60 year old high fi with the original needle wont cut it].

CD came in as described. It plays great.

Excelente producto. Es perfecto para quienes coleccionan vinilos. Es un clásico que definitivamente vale la pena tener en cualquier colección. La entrega se demoró un poco más de lo inicialmente indicado, probablemente por ser diciembre, pero valió totalmente la pena. Era un regalo de Navidad para mi hijo y quedó muy feliz con el álbum.

Classical Miles Davis album. Good pressing. Should last forever. That being said, there is no noticeable fidelity difference next to some of my original 70s and 80s Mobile Fidelity or Nautilus Recording pressing vinyls.

Reviews seem to have been combined across different versions, which might be what is creating confusion here. This listing IS for the RSD mono copy (make sure you see that in the title). Either way, when you receive it It'll be very clear on the packaging. If you don't see Mono on the packaging, ask for a replacement! I have a very good stereo copy, but have always wanted this in mono. This version did not disappoint. Though the tape noise is a little louder than my liking, the pressing itself is very quiet and clean. Great clarity, and the mono mix does not feel artificial. Now that I have this, I do not feel like I ever need to acquire another copy. So if you can get this one, you should be satisfied without paying the Mofi price. On a side note, the cover had a giant crease in it, so I'm grabbing another copy. This was certainly due to it being shipped in a loose box without any support, originating from Washington state. I don't experience this issue with the southern Ontario departure points, which always use an appropriate LP box within the shipping box. Make note Amazon! Also, there were no surprise custom fees, unlike what another poster endured. If it says Prime, my experience has always been free shipping with no fees, regardless of the originating warehouse.

One of my favourite jazz albums of all time, Miles at his best, with a great band. I had this on CD and felt I needed it on vinyl

Sul disco dí per sé non c’è molto da dire. È il disco che ha cambiato il modo di fare Jazz e uno dei dischi più influenti della storia della musica. Puoi sentire le influenze di Kind of Blue praticamente in ogni disco pubblicato dopo. È storia! Questa edizione è di buon pregio. Non la migliore ma sicuramente tra le più godibili Su un po’ tutti gli impianti Hi-Fi. Dai più economici ai più esoterici. Il vinile è dannatamente di buona qualità (180g). Il master usato è estremamente buono… senti la pasta quando lo ascolti! Tutti gli strumenti sono dove devono essere, niente rumore di fondo aggiunto e a calore da vendere! La copertina è fatta di un bel cartone rigido e spesso, dentro trovi il disco infilato in una busta antistatica di buona qualità e le grafiche sono rispettate. In poche parole ha un rapporto qualità/prezzo molto alto. Sono veramente contento di averlo preso, non mi sta facendo rimpiangere il SACD che avevo prima che suonava benissimo ma gli mancava la pasta che ha questo vinile!

Deze multichannel SACD is alsof een droom werkelijkheid is geworden. Ik waan me aanwezig in de studio tijdens deze legendarische opnames want de ruimtelijke weergave is fantastisch. De muziek van dit meesterwerk was al onbetwist schitterend en met deze uitgave is daar een extra dimensie bij gekomen. Van harte aangeraden.

No surface noise. Just a beautiful pressing of one of the most vital, moving jazz albums ever.
