Which Davies' Kind of Blue CD sounds better?


Which edition should I buy? It needs to be CD (can read HDCD as well). I read good things about Japanese versions, but don't find them. Saw several versions labeled as "imports" at cduniverse.com, but no more info than that.

Just want to go and buy the better sounding CD.

Thanks much!

If you want to stay with CD and not SACD, the Sony Super Bit Mapping (SBM on back of case) is very good in my experience and better than the first re master done on this great work. I can't say if this version is still available as I purchased it many years ago.
The Kind of Blue I spoke of is the Sony Legacy and it uses SBM to mix and to me it is far from lifeless.
