As we set out to make our UHQR series the world's best-sounding vinyl records, we have also used Clarity Vinyl, which is free of any carbon black pigment which might introduce surface noise. I don't spend much time writing reviews, but I was so impress with this record I felt like jotting down a few words. As an aside, the 180g blue vinyl limited promo run that Classic did of KOB sounds distinctly different than the black vinyl releases in 180g and 200g.

As a trumpet player I've always been interested in jazz but when I first picked up this record I was too young to truly appreciate it. The significant 1992 remaster corrected the original recording speed for side one, which had caused all prior releases to be slightly off- pitch. I already have more than a few pressings of Kind of Blue, accumulated since I bought my first copy 57 years ago, so I'm just not sure I need another.It was recorded on March 2 and April 22, 1959, at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York City, and released on August 17 of that same year by Columbia Records. UHQR was a JVC product, and they pressed UHQR titles for other companies besides Mobile Fidelity, though not many.

That trio stayed with Davis for the recordings Someday My Prince Will Come [71] and the live sets at the Blackhawk and at Carnegie Hall. So What" or Kind of Blue, they were done in that era, the right hour, the right day, and it happened. The only glaring omission by AP are pics of bassist, Paul Chambers, and drummer, the recently deceased Jimmy Cobb (May 2020), the last remaining member of the 1st great Miles Davis septet (though he sat in only for FF, Wynton Kelly is also missing).I'd appreciate a bit of Velcro or something to keep the inner box from sliding out when I need to move it around. Only complaint is the packaging; the gatefold is beautiful and more than enough, which makes the box unnecessary.

All my life, when ever anyone would say to me “this setup or this recording sounds like I’m actually in the room” I’ve been like “yeah, sure, uh huh…” I’ve never heard anything that led me to believe that was possible.

On March 2, 1959, the tracks " So What", " Freddie Freeloader", and " Blue in Green" were recorded for side one of the original LP, and on April 22 the tracks " All Blues" and "Flamenco Sketches" were recorded, making up side two.
