Thread: Kind of Blue Japanese 2007 release.

I misplaced my copy of Kind of Blue 2002 SACD Sony release.

I've been reading there is a better version out of Japan of a 2007 SACD release.

Since I wanted to replace my copy (Kind of Blue is one of my favorite "Albums") I ordered a copy off of Ebay.

The seller has a good rating and I did receive an SACD in Japanese packaging but everything has 1960s copywrite on it.

How can I tell if it's a 2007 remaster?

Thanks!

Should be SIPC 10083.

BTW, these new masterings are far superior.

Well, found the thread and yes the serial is SICP-10083, it is the new one.

It seems to sound better though I wont be sure till my other copy turns up.

Thanks RWetmore!

Any surefire way to get these? I've seen some listings for KoB and Sketches on eBay that have the Japanese 'obi strip' on them, for around $33-39...

Are these definitely the 2007 versions?

I'd like to pick these up, but want to make sure I get the right ones...

How about ordering directly from amazon.jp?

The cheapest way to get them is from HMV Japan.

If purchasing on ebay, check the catalog numbers to make sure they are the 2007 releases. 2007 Sketches is SICP 10084

I'll probably try from HMV but I know their shipping was atrocious last time I tried.

The reason I don't trust things like amazon.jp is that with Amazon, at least owing to track record, its about a 50/50 shot that i'll get a normal CD...

You could consider ordering from www.cdjapan.co.jp

I did buy from them several times there fast and reliable and trackable via EMS.
