Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue / 45RPM 2LP Mobile Fidelity

Special version as double 45rpm LP in a box with large lyric book.

Should the question about the most famous of all jazz albums ever be asked in the show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire', this Miles Davis album from 1959 is a sure candidate. Entire books have been written about "Kind Of Blue",

and what other album exists in so many editions? The band had not played through a single one of the tracks before Davis asked them into the studio while recording was in progress. Perhaps jazz heavyweights like John Coltrane,

Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb didn't have to, because "Kind Of Blue" became a classic that way, too. Davis, on the other hand, remained true to his reputation as an eccentric and called the album a failure.

Mobile Fidelity had announced this title for a long time, but the release had to be postponed again and again, because the licensor Columbia Records, today a part of Sony Music, was not able to find the right tape. There are apparently dozens

of tape copies. With the right master in their hands, Shawn R. Britton and Rob LoVerde then went to work together. They used the newly upgraded DSD system in Sebastopol, California to make everything possible for the edit. Sonically, the album

now has a grace and yet compelling definiteness to each sound that has not been heard before. There is analog tape noise and at the same time a presence of the musicians that previous releases simply did not achieve.
