Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"


Is it just me...or is the recording of this session overhyped...I agree it is a great performance...but "Birth of the Cool" and others are superior in my mind...any thoughts?

Cannonball Adderley's "Something Else" CD/LP was recorded around the same time with almost the same band and I prefer that recording to KOB. Also Miles' "Milestones" is better to my ears. Neither of those two has been remastered 99 times like KOB... I think KOB is slightly overrated...as is Bitches Brew. I just got the 20 CD Montreaux box set...so far it is a disappointment sound quality wise after 2 CDs, but there's 18 to go.
Addenda to prev. post... the first and second CD on the Montreaux Live boxset was not great sound, but it was a 1973 recording...so in retro...sounds decent. The remaining 18 sound very good for live recordings of electronic jazz.

Did anyone hear that some King of Blue remasters were done at the wrong speed?
