Coincidentally (for real), exactly 365 days ago I uploaded another Miles Davis tune ( ). Now you can listen to the differences between two stereo pressings of the 1959 album “Kind Of Blue”, the biggest-selling jazz album ever, using the opening track “So What” as test subject. First there’s the 2010 Columbia Legacy reissue mastered by Kevin Gray, followed by the limited edition reissue by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab released in 2015, mastered by Krieg Wunderlich and Rob LoVerde and released as a 2X45 RPM set.
