Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's

Columbia just released remastered Miles first 9 recordings including Kind Of Blue, as well as some Collaberations with Gil Evans. Comes as a 9 cd set.

With all the other "remastered" versions of these classic recordings do you think the sound quality will actually be improved? Or is this just another way for the label to get more of our bucks?

For the KOB, is this the same re-mastering being offered at HDTracks as download?

I just ordered mine, $48 and up for the box set on Amazon. That's like, what, five bucks per CD?

My set just arrived today. I have only listened to KOB.

I noted elsewhere that this version and the HD Tracks version look identical.

I can confirm that this Mono version from the box set sounds every bit as good as the HD Tracks stereo version which I have.

Both version have less digital glare than previously I have heard but more than that the whole recording sounds more like like and natural.

These are the best digital KOB's I have heard.
