First Sunday sounds coming from Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. This is the MoFi Box and while not the worst I’ve heard this album, it’s certainly quite far from the best too.

Compared to the all analogue chain pressing that was done in 2013 for RSD, this one is a bit of a mess.

First it was a Tape to DSD64 to Record process, it’s also full of pressing issues which were never caught in the QC which is a shame.

My own copy while not too bad, it does have some issues with record 2, the spindle hole is slightly off leading to miss tracking and slight distortion especially in the miss on the outer edge of the record. It’s also quite a noisy record too.

Chum reminded me that on this day, March 2nd, back in 1959, Miles Davis and Co started their first recording session for what would become Kind of Blue. One of my all-time favourite jazz albums, hell, one of my all-time favourite albums of any type.

Among the other musicians involved were the equally legendary John Coltrane and the brilliant Bill Evans. Blue gold...

Half spent the day recording some of my records on my new (to me) MiniDisc player. First up was, of course, Miles Davis, a full recording of Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain all fitted on one disc bar one (admittedly lengthy) song (no compression for that full vinyl sound).

After the debacle of #MUFC’s humiliation, I’m consoling myself with an Old Fashioned & #MilesDavis. I’m #NowPlaying #KindOfBlue, one of the greatest albums of all time.

This is the #UHQR from #AnalogueProductions cut at 33 by #BernieGrundman. My copy, unfortunately, has a pressing defect on the the first 30 seconds of Blue In Green. Otherwise this is immaculate, stunning, & oh so moving - bested only by the UHQR at 45 (which I also have).

Today I’m #writing & #amlistening to #jazz, starting with #Milestones. This is the #KevinGray cut from #ColumbiaLegacy, picked up this year alongside the #MoFi pressing.

Both sound amazing, but the Gray cut is, I think, more natural with a slightly tighter low end & consequently feels more nimble.

This #album, alongside #InASilentWay, #SketchesOfSpain, #SomethingElse, &, of course, #KindofBlue are my go to #MilesDavis (at the mo, anyway).
