My LP which I purchased super cheaply as a close out for effectually $25, has a scratch through "All Blues" that causes ticking throughout. What a shame they put out such a nice set with negligent quality command every bit the sonics are excellent.

Fully admit I don't have any other copies to compare this vinyl pressing to, but to my ears, it sounds quite nice. Somewhen I'd like to explore some of the other versions out at that place; I absolutely love this album and information technology would exist interesting to hear the differences others point out -- but for at present, I'm quite content with this one.
I exercise agree with steamybrown re: the CDs and how the otherwise amazing packaging might affect them -- my CDs have some surface scuffing just from being in their slots, but they do play fine. Still, a little frustrating to accept brand new discs...not and then brand new before you lot even get them in your role player. Beyond that, I really like this set.
There have been complaints well-nigh the poor quality of the vinyl pressing. I've played mine only one time, but it sounded fine.

This "50th" Box Set is nice—very comprehensive, with lots of quality actress goodies; photos, a poster, a brochure, a Volume and DVD that are indispensable, and most importantly, audio that is generously spread over 1 LP and 2 CDs (this is i of the nicest modernistic presentations of "K.O.B", even 14 years later information technology's original release)......It was wise, and very much appreciated to have the flip-side of "Jazz Rail" coupled along with "...Blueish" here on CD, since "Jazz Track" is more or less a prelude (fifty-fifty though information technology was released commercially a few months later on "K.O.B" in 59') for what was to come up ("On Green Dolphin Street", "Fran-Dance", & "Stella By Starlight" are as good as any of the tracks off "...Blue"). My complaints would be virtually how the CDs, DVD, and Vinyl, all come flawed from the unforgiving housing they are set in—I bought four sets brand new, and all were scratched...The vinyl is a gorgeous looking "kind of blue", and the one-off mastering is unique from all other U.Southward. Stereo versions of this anthology. It has an nigh startling sharpness and focus on the "horn solos", while likewise having a more flat, ii-dimensional Stereo spaciousness than that of the more generous "room-filled" sounds of the original "6 Heart", or "Archetype Records" versions (both in 33rpm and 45rpm). The "50th's" overall performance and "feeling" places it somewhere in between the 59' original and the 2010 Stereo "Columbia, Legacy" edition, featuring a stronger depression-end than the 59', without pushing the border of distortion similar the 2010 tends to do. And, even though information technology doesn't take quite the same sense of placement or depth as it's 59' predecessor as mentioned, the "50th" somehow makes it'southward own distinction when compared to many of information technology'due south successors (reissues), thank you in part to the mastering engineer's (Greg Calbi) intent and focus on making horn solos jut forwards and pierce the air. From 2010 on, U.S. Stereo versions of "Kind Of Blue" have been mastered with either an exaggerated, near distorted low end, or a blurred/packed sense of space—a sort of flattened ambience...or both (I tin't hear "the room" anymore on the 2010 Legacy cut or on the new 2014 Mono). The truly unfortunate function about the Vinyl portion of this "50th" prepare is that information technology seems to be of subpar pressing quality, with typically moderate to sometimes terrible pressing flaws (warps, and by and large "no-fill") being widely reported.
This issue would have been worth something if the vinyl pressing had been any good - it's horrible in the four samples I've heard and seen - terrible quality, and a shame for an otherwise first-class 50th ceremony consequence of one of the finest pieces of music ever created.
