This isn't numbered. Description is misleading

Great Album, and a Mono version should be in every real fan's collection. Word of caution though, these aren't the RSD Numbered releases.

Attention ne pas se tromper d'édition !

Reviewed in France on 19 November 2019

Miles Davis LP Kind of blue.
Deux rééditions sont couramment rencontrées : celle-ci, fabriquée par DOL, qui est une société russe pressant ses disques en république tchèque et une autre, Columbia, propriété actuelle de Sony. C'est la 2e qu'il faut absolument prendre, surtout que les prix sont quasiment similaires.
Celle de DOL : pochette avers : aucune mention d'éditeur. Revers : photo de Davis sans contraste et ressemblant plus à une photocopie toute moche.
Celle de Sony : mention sur les 2 faces de l'éditeur (Columbia et Sony Legacy). Photos plus nettes. On dirait l'original. J'ai mis des photos de l'édition Sony. Comparez avec DOL.
Le label du LP de Sony est aussi la copie presque identique de l'original. Celui de DOL est tout simple en noir et blanc.
Le son est plus net, plus clair sur la 2e édition. Scène stéréo plus ouverte, meilleure définition. Les bandes analogiques ont dû être utilisées alors que j'imagine que les Russes ont du se contenter d'un CD à 2 balles pour faire leur sauce.
La différence audio saute aux oreilles surtout au casque.
De manière générale il faut essayer d'éviter les labels comme ceux là car les sources sont souvent peu fiables. Les seules accessibles pour eux sont les CD du commerce. Alors pourquoi acheter ce qui n'est finalement qu'un CD qui s'use ?...
Bonne écoute.

Try it on your cat

Really weird but I was taking my cat to the vet and Desert Island Discs came on. My cat continued to cry until a track from this cd came on, whereby he settled down. Unfortunately when the record finished he started crying again. I bought the cd and things are much better.

Great album poor pressing (Blue and Black Vinyl)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 April 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a great album, but unfortunately this vinyl had pressing defects, so I returned the album, I then went onto purchase the blue vinyl version, this had a scratch at the start of track one and also had pressing defects. I also have this album on Cd and SACD, the SACD is far superior to the CD, and very close to the Vinyl cut, but for now it looks like I’ll have to stick with the SACD or until I can find a decent vinyl pressing.
Update 13th May 2019:
I have now had 3 copies of this album, the last 2 on blue vinyl from Norman Records, both copies had pressing issues, so these were returned. I think I just disgusting, considering this is one of the best recordings ever made. Quality control is none existent, the blue vinyl was advertised as 180g, it certainly wasn’t. If anybody out there knows where I can get a good pressing please let me know at keithfnis@btinternet.com.
Update 18th May:
Found a late 1970's pressing on Ebay, guess what, it was in mint condition and played perfectly. I have now also decided to get a copy of the MOFI 180g 45rpm edition, (not from Amazon) as this gets really good reviews, but rather expensive. finger crossed.

WOW music but a recording of its day with audible tape hiss and occasional high frequency distortion

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2021

Verified Purchase

CD – Columbia Legacy from original masters recoding/version

There may be great versions of this recording, sadly this is not one of them. The drums are on the whole disappointing. The high frequency distortion whilst sporadic is annoying and intrusive on headphones. The tape hiss is audible on speakers.

The double bass is outstanding and very enjoyable if a little “light” in presence. The limited atmosphere and and presence makes this recording feel a bit limited and restricted on headphones, it was much better replayed via loudspeakers.

For all of the problems the music is marvellous. I will be seeking better versions whether on CD or vinyl as on track 5 the hiss is very audible but not consistant.

I need to hear an all analogue version of this recording as the music was so enjoyable.

I have not set out to write reviews of the music content as “beauty is in the ears of the listener”. These reviews are about the quality (or not) of the recorded sound. To read about how the reviews are done please see my profile.

• Clarity – very clear with excellent transparency, but this may be an issue in itself
• Channel separation – very good, clear left and right channels
• Channel balance – a very good mix, instruments can be clearly placed and their positions are stable
• Sound Stage – reasonable, quite wide but not particularly deep
• Distortion – there is a hint of high frequency distortion on the upper registers and high frequencies on some tracks. It is only audible on the trumpet occasionally when listening on very resolving high end headphones. It appears to be limited to the first 2 tracks and may be due to the mastering rather than the original recording. Track 4 also has high frequency distortion and the tape noise is particularly noticeable on both channels. Later tracks have no audible distortion. There is also the issue of what sounds like constant background tape hiss which I found annoying by the end of the recording.
• Compression – There does not appear to be any significant frequency limitation. The cymbals are a long way back in the mix and lack shimmer.
• Atmosphere – there is little sense or feeling of space in the recording, there is a slight sultry feel. The recording space sounds a touch cold and a little sterile.
• Bass – low frequencies – the acoustic bass I excellent, the rounded rich “wood” tones are clearly audible and very enticing. The drums are in the background much of the time and rather soft.
• Treble – high frequencies – the piano has a very natural tone as do the saxophones. The cymbals are weak having little shimmer or attack. The trumpet has good edge and when there are only a few instruments the recording space is more audible. The snare drum is often inaudible on some tracks especially when played with brushes. It is as if the high frequencies got away from the recording or mastering engineers as the hiss becomes annoying after awhile. The saxs have an enticing depth and warmth which make this recording a joy to listen to were it not for the “noise”.
• Vocals - none

As a general rule of thumb recordings from the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s are nearly always better on the original vinyl. Remasters often fail to please as it’s just not possible to make a silk purse from a sows ear, i.e. the original recording lacks the necessary detail to be processed digitally and show an audible improvement. Indeed such processing can make the sound worse.

Modern recordings which have been processed digitally from start to finish can be as good as vinyl. CD’s are often unfairly criticised for being poor quality. This is not the case, it is the original recording or the process which is to blame. Modern “remasters” can both enhance and degrade a recording. The statement GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out) is the limiting factor. Ignore this at your cost.

I ordered a record store day vinyl, nothing on this album to say it is a record store day vinyl very disappointed indeed, why do they advertise falsely? Where dose it state 2014 record store day? We need to be compensated for such under handed actions and they should be fines or closed down its so wrong l will listern to it after reading the reviews and do another review some very poor reviews on the sound quality!!
