Kind of Blue

Product Information

It continues to be one of the most listened-to and studied recordings of all time, a required primer for many young musicians, and one of the most transcendent pieces of music ever recorded. Davis played trumpet sublime with his ensemble sextet featuring pianist Bill Evans, drummer Jimmy Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian “Cannonball” Adderley with Wyton Kelly playing piano on “Freddy the Freeloader.” Audiophile Accessories Digital Supplies Dustcovers Isolation Devices Record Mats and Clamps Record Supplies Recording Media Blank Cassettes Room Treatments System Enhancements System Set Up Tools• Amplifiers Spend thousands more, and parts quality goes up, and the 'unmeasurables' become more audible, as it should be.""

Once again you use non-sequiturs in your rhetorical bullshit question: "Would that make me a liar with no understanding of mold making and casting of semi rigid materials?" Again, you did no work for vinyl production. None. You lie by implication that you have knowledge about this. You don't. You have theory based on your knowledge of materials sciences and mechanical engineering. You really do feel like you're in the recording studio with the band; the realism of the room is that stark. I've heard the UHQR called the "apex release," and can confirm this to be true. It is, simply put, a stunning record." — Eric Pye, ecoustics.com. Read Pye's entire review here. I own many versions of this album. Simply breathtaking from the beginning to the end. The biggest “wow” factor is the dead silent noise floor of the vinyl. You will never see a better sounding version of KOB out there….not even close to this one. Can’t wait for Chad and the folks at AP to put out the 45rpm version of this album in the future. This 33rpm version is already a top 5 in my collection! Well done AP! Keep the UHQR releases coming! Spend thousands more, and parts quality goes up, and the 'unmeasurables' become more audible, as it should be."Listening to my UHQR Kind of Blue for the third time since I got it! Man I just have to thank you for this, deathly silent and perfect mastering. Keep doing what you’re doing Chad! Keeping the vinyl dream alive! A must have! I have the MOFI 45rpm and I honestly think this one blows it away. Kudos to all involved in putting this masterpiece together!!

The experience of listening to a variety of price points in equipment tells us everything about one's ability to listen critically and understand their journey to the land of musical truth. (and engineering truth too, tbh.) All-in-all this edition of Kind of Blue meets the highest audiophile standards and offers the truest sound for the most enjoyment. 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).

In its three-decade-plus history, Mobile Fidelity has never been prouder to have the honor of handling efforts as important as Davis' key recordings. It's why the our engineers took every available measure to transport listeners to the March and April 1959 sessions that parlayed modal jazz into mainstream language. The blueprint for melodic improvisation and vamping, Kind of Blue simplifies tonal organization and chordal progression into an eminently beautiful, introspective tapestry stitched with swinging poetry, mellifluous soloing, compositional lyricism, transcendental harmonies, and group interplay of the highest caliber.
