Kind of Blue

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis is an absolute classic and one of the most important jazz records ever made. Beyond the music itself, this 180-gram pressing is excellent. The vinyl feels substantial and well made, and the pressing quality is very clean. Surface noise is minimal, with quiet backgrounds that really let the music breathe. The soundstage is wide and natural, with great separation between instruments and a warmth that suits this album perfectly. The dynamics come through beautifully — the horns have body without harshness, the bass is full and controlled, and the cymbals sound smooth and natural. It’s the kind of pressing that encourages you to sit back and listen all the way through. A timeless album paired with a high-quality pressing. This is an essential record and a fantastic addition to any vinyl collection, especially if you appreciate well-pressed, great-sounding jazz on vinyl.

There’s a reason *Kind of Blue* is the ultimate jazz record, but spinning a clean, high-quality pressing of it is a completely different experience. The sense of space on this album is incredible; it literally feels like the band is pushed into the corners of your room. Miles’ trumpet sits dead center, sharp and intimate without ever getting piercing, while Coltrane and Adderley cut through the left and right channels with absolute clarity. The standout for me is the upright bass—it has a deep, woody weight to it that digital versions usually flatten out, and you can actually hear the texture of the fingers on the strings. Even the faint tape hiss from the original 1959 master adds to the atmosphere rather than distracting from it. It’s one of those rare records where you don't just listen to the music, you listen to the room it was recorded in.

Such a great album. Belongs in everyone's jazz collection. This is a particularly nice LP. Get it. Clear sound, no cracks or pops.

One of the greatest album of all time. Masterpiece of musical history. I had this on cd but needed it on wax.

I am new to jazz. This was my first jazz album and wow, was/is it good! The album is superb, and the vinyl pressing is excellent too, with no surface noise to speak of.

Great pressing of a great album! A great addition to my vinyl collection.

Real quick The reason I am not giving this review 5 stars is simply its unclear what the cd comes in, I had no clue if it was going to be a vinyl a cd a cardboard sleeve, and the review photos other people shared were vastly different from one another, which confused me, make it more clear, but amazing album, honestly u could argue it’s the most influential jazz album ever made, absolute legends like John Coltrane, cannonball, along with miles Davis, a huge milestone for jazz as a whole. The album itself easily deserves 5 stars apsolute masterpiece 🙌

Great record. A must own.

Reviews seem to have been combined across different versions, which might be what is creating confusion here. This listing IS for the RSD mono copy (make sure you see that in the title). Either way, when you receive it It'll be very clear on the packaging. If you don't see Mono on the packaging, ask for a replacement! I have a very good stereo copy, but have always wanted this in mono. This version did not disappoint. Though the tape noise is a little louder than my liking, the pressing itself is very quiet and clean. Great clarity, and the mono mix does not feel artificial. Now that I have this, I do not feel like I ever need to acquire another copy. So if you can get this one, you should be satisfied without paying the Mofi price. On a side note, the cover had a giant crease in it, so I'm grabbing another copy. This was certainly due to it being shipped in a loose box without any support, originating from Washington state. I don't experience this issue with the southern Ontario departure points, which always use an appropriate LP box within the shipping box. Make note Amazon! Also, there were no surprise custom fees, unlike what another poster endured. If it says Prime, my experience has always been free shipping with no fees, regardless of the originating warehouse.

One of my favourite jazz albums of all time, Miles at his best, with a great band. I had this on CD and felt I needed it on vinyl

LP excelente. Selo columbia na versão mono, espetacular qualidade de áudio. Veio muito bem embalado e chegou rápido. Um dos álbuns mais icônicos do Jazz e um dos mais vendidos do mundo. Agora tenho o meu na coleção. Obrigado Amazon.

Sul disco dí per sé non c’è molto da dire. È il disco che ha cambiato il modo di fare Jazz e uno dei dischi più influenti della storia della musica. Puoi sentire le influenze di Kind of Blue praticamente in ogni disco pubblicato dopo. È storia! Questa edizione è di buon pregio. Non la migliore ma sicuramente tra le più godibili Su un po’ tutti gli impianti Hi-Fi. Dai più economici ai più esoterici. Il vinile è dannatamente di buona qualità (180g). Il master usato è estremamente buono… senti la pasta quando lo ascolti! Tutti gli strumenti sono dove devono essere, niente rumore di fondo aggiunto e a calore da vendere! La copertina è fatta di un bel cartone rigido e spesso, dentro trovi il disco infilato in una busta antistatica di buona qualità e le grafiche sono rispettate. In poche parole ha un rapporto qualità/prezzo molto alto. Sono veramente contento di averlo preso, non mi sta facendo rimpiangere il SACD che avevo prima che suonava benissimo ma gli mancava la pasta che ha questo vinile!

Ja, was soll ich sagen... Ein Muss, wenn man mal wieder auf Vinyl umsteigt. Toller Sound, spannende Musik. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die mal eben keinen Einheitsbrei wollen.
