What is the best pressing of Kind of Blue
Posted by: JeremyB on 21 September 2009
Sensible answers please. I understand the very first original 1959 pressing was cut at the wrong speed so that leaves the field wide open to subsequent LP and CD reissues.
Don't know about 'best' but I love my 33rpm 200g vinyl! In theory the 45rpm version should be better. I couldn't afford an original issue LP, for which a mortgage is required.
I also have the current issue CD, which definitely sounds different (Mrs JWM pointed it out before I said anything), but I am quite happy listening to that as well. And it only cost me £2.99 with some other purchases from HMV, whereas the vinyl was a lot more expensive
At the time I bought it, you could only get it [new] from USA.
