Edited 14 days agoreferencing Porgy And Bess (LP, Album, Mono) CL 1274
For me, this is Modal Miles' finest moment, and it's meant for mono with its balance of intimacy and big band bravado. This pressing is flawless: flat, quiet and dynamic with a true mono cart like my A-T 33. -
In reference to a Canadian import by Sony Music Canada Inc., otherwise identical. Four different recording dates immediately should suggest an inconsistent sound, and then there's the super hot recordings... that is an entire book. Other than some serious peak distortion on a couple of songs this is a good sounding edition, and probably represents the original recording quite well. -
Incredibly good pressing for the money. Very dynamic and warm. Highly recommended.

Sorry to disagree, but my copy is warped, the digital transfer lacks presence and the bass is almost absent in the entire recording. Skip this digital transfer and wait for a better analog transfer/remaster from a more reliable label.
-
Same release with correct labels : https://discogs.versitio.com/fr/release/31536103-Miles-Davis-Porgy-And-Bess . . .
-
This pressing sounds wonderful despite being a DSD pressing. Well done and on point.
