I have multiple versions of this album - all stereo. This is now the 2nd best version I have. The best version is still the 2007 SACD. This recording is superb! Sounds like it was recently recorded rather than 60 years ago. Simple an A++++++. There are some other albums I can think of for the UHQR treatment. "Dark Side of the Moon" "Close to the Edge" "Eat a Peach" for starters. This totally (and I say totally) blew the doors off my MOFI 45. Miles trumpet sounds so sweet oh my god it really is something you have to hear. I also would say this is by far the best of the three UHQR's I own and perhaps this is the best album I own to date. I was thrilled that this was coming out. I bought 4 copies from different sources. The one I opened had tons of pops and surface noise... I was stunned. I can only hope the other copies I got later down the road are better. Right now my FLAC copy is my favorite. I cleaned my playing copy twice but no improvement. Hope yours is better.

My answer is : hardly ever ! Why ? There is a lot of money to be earned on "better then ever "versions of it ! ARIA Charts – Accreditations – 2016 Albums" (PDF). Australian Recording Industry Association . Retrieved September 19, 2008. The biggest things that led me to feel this way is how much you hear the room, and how much separation there is for each instrument.

No need to comment on the music, obviously a master work. The recording? The sound of the 'room' is amazing, the balance of the instruments and breadth of the performance is tangible. Nothing is exaggerated. History was on the side of Kind of Blue; it was born in 1959, at the peak of the golden age of high-fidelity, featuring innovations in studio equipment (magnetic tape, high-quality condenser microphones), matched by advancements in home audio reproduction (long-player records — LPs; high-end turntables, and other stereo components). Kind of Blue also benefited from Miles' being signed to the leading major record company of the day — Columbia Records, a part of the CBS media conglomerate. Columbia had the means and wisdom to invest in cutting edge recording technology, and their own professional recording studio. Included in the many highlights of Analogue Productions' history are the Fantasy 45 Jazz Reissues, the Blue Note Reissues, and premium box sets of the music of such legendary acts as The Doors, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Nat "King" Cole and Norah Jones.

It was in 1992 that Acoustic Sounds owner Chad Kassem reissued his first Analogue Productions title, Virgil Thompson's The Plow That Broke The Plains, originally on Vanguard. Modal jazz was not unique to this album. Davis himself had previously used the same method on his 1958 Milestones album, the '58 Sessions, and Porgy and Bess (1958), on which he used modal influences for collaborator Gil Evans's third stream compositions. [3] Modal composition, with its reliance on scales and modes, represented, as Davis called it, [3] "a return to melody". [22] In a 1958 interview with Nat Hentoff of The Jazz Review, Davis elaborated on this form of composition in contrast to the chord progression predominant in bebop, stating Blank records and antiskate are probably the last thing I wanna get in a discussion about with you when there are so many fun and agreeable topics!
