High quality recordings any genre


I like all kinds of music, so give me some suggestions on some high quality recordings you listen too. I find a lot of music is poorly recorded. When you get a high quality recording listening is so much more pleasurable.

Does anyone have any direct experience with a UHQR limited edition of Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue”?

Always a fan of Miles’ work, I’ve probably played that LP more than any others of his except maybe “Workin’” or “Birth of the Cool,” but I’m seeing it was released in 33-1/3 and 45 RPM (2 LP) versions.

I own several 45 RPM LP’s from other artists and have compared a few of them to the 33-1/3 LP’s and to my ears they’re pretty much identical so that’s not the question.

More of, “UHQR - is it really worth paying 6+ times as much for a single LP?”

@larsman - thanks for the suggestion. I spent the evening going through my Miles Davis collection, playing several LPs including the one I mentioned. I’m not enamored of that one LP as much as I was in the past. While the song “All Blues” is still a long-time favorite (going back to a party I went to in high school around 1975), most of the rest of it, despite stellar performances by Coltrane, Adderly, Evans, et al., I really wouldn’t want to blow nearly $200 for a single LP.

I think I’ll just buy 6 or more LPs from other artists, maybe fill a hole or two in my Miles collection and wait a bit longer.
