Miles Davis: Kind Of Blue LTD | NUM | DLX version on vinyl 2LP/Box Set in 45 RPM Remastered limited individually numbered deluxe edition. This particular edition was published in USA in publishing company Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab in cooperation with Columbia and Sony Music Commercial Music Group on 27. September 2019.

So much has been said and written about Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue" that it is virtually impossible to summarize all the necessary information in the scope of this essay. We could only give some facts (the world's best-selling jazz album of all time). We could try to explain why it is the greatest jazz album of all time, but the music will do that for you. As Bill Evans stated in the original liner notes, the band did not play any of these songs before recording. Miles Davis laid down the themes and the band improvised before making the tape. The end result was fragile and wondrous. Recorded in two sessions in 1959, the album "Kind Of Blue" worked on many different levels and will continue to do so for many years to come.

A special edition double LP at 45 rpm in a jewel case with a large format booklet with lyrics.

If the question of the most famous jazz album of all time came up on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", this 1959 Miles Davis album is a sure candidate. Entire books have been written about Kind Of Blue, and what other album exists in so many editions?

The band hadn't played a single song before Davis invited them into the studio while recording. Maybe jazz heavyweights like John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb didn't even need to, because Kind Of Blue has become a classic in its own right. Davis, on the other hand, stayed true to his reputation as an eccentric and branded the album a failure.

Mobile Fidelity had announced the title long ago, but the release had to be postponed again and again because the licensor Columbia Records, now part of Sony Music, was unable to get the right tape. Apparently there are dozens of copies of the cassette. Once Shawn R. Britton and Rob LoVerde had the right master in hand, they set to work together. They used a newly upgraded DSD system in Sebastopol, California, to process everything.

Sonically, the album now has a grace and convincing definition of every single note that has never been heard before. There's an analogue tape hiss as well as a presence from the musicians that previous releases simply didn't achieve.

Review

"The overall dynamics are simply stunning for a 1959 recording (minimal tape hiss). The gorgeous eight-page photographic booklet, including the original liner notes (by Bill Evans), and the flawless pressing ... along with the fantastic music, make this the perfect jazz LP of the year." (Audio, January 2016)

"Kind Of Blue 's MFSL version is the definitive pressing that should put an end to all comparative discussions and put to rest the disappointing-sounding 50th anniversary edition of the record, but only on ambitious systems will its full sonic splendor be revealed." (MINT, January 2016)

Album spans genres Jazz, Fusion, Contemporary Jazz, Modal, Bop and Hard Bop. 180g Numbered Vinyl Limited Deluxe Edition.
