KIND OF BLUE

I just received the K2 HD version today-on a quick listen I would say this is the best version I have heard....before that I would have went for the Japanese Mastersound version as being best despite it's age.

The K2 version seems to deliver more detail and instruments that sound more real.

I purchased the same. should be here in a couple of days. We'll hear...

Warrenh-

historically, the black triangle CD came directly from Japan around 1983/84. These discs are the most valuable and have the best sound, IMO.

Second note,

a close 2nd CD is the 1986 CBS made in Austria edition.

I ordered the K2 HD Kind of Blue as it was once advertised as a HDCD recording from Music Direct. It is not a HDCD recording and I was refunded. I did compare it to the Columbia Legacy Edition for 13.99 from Amazon which is the 50 year remaster with additional live version cd. I could not justify keeping the K2 version at $40.dollars. The Columbia Legacy sounded just as good to me...
