Default Vinyl album A/B: Miles Davis, Kind of Blue

Debating on picking up the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (2015 release)45rpm Miles Davis Kind of Blue album. At $140/used I’m hoping someone can weigh in here on listening experience before I order it.

The Urban Outfitters 33rpm reissue at $22.98 new sounds surprisingly good, but can’t wonder if the premium pressing would result in better listening experience? Lately, it’s been hit or miss for me with 45rpm/180gram/remaster/audiophile pressings being better than the standard versions out there and I’m tired of wasting my time and $ on them.

Did you check out the Steve Hoffman forums yet?
There's a lot of discussion about MFSL Miles Davis titles.
I recently decided I like the MFSL sacd the best of the 3 sacd versions I own.

I threw away hundreds of cassettes a couple of years ago. I would have gladly given them to you!

I may as well have thrown mine away, as I roughly know what I have, but not where they are exactly! ☹️ I do still have a Yamaha player for when I find them...

The 45 Msfl is probably the go to record to get. Getting up every two songs to flip it is my problem with it. Classic records released one that is very good in 33.3 and 45 . Those are very pricy also. The latest version is a digital remastered pressing that I heard sounds very good.

The MoFi 45 box reigns supreme. I bought a back up. It's THAT GOOD.
