Hi@all!!!Which version of Miles Davis "Kind of blue" is the best one on CD???

He was always sort of a low key, but I sort of liked this album.

Anyone bought Mr Young's archives volume 1 and if so which format. Uncut gave it 5 stars but the reviews on Amazon are less than favourable.ThanksGary

I have just ordered my 6th CD recording of Mozart's 40th symphony: Mariner, Klemperer, Bohm, Mackeras, Bernstein, and now Harnoncourt. I play different ones depending on how I want to listen to it played and the Mackeras is good in the car [not subtle]. The Bohm is the one I most often listen to. I know this is not a big number for some and wondered what pieces of music other people have multiples of and why? atb SJ
