    I was amazed how good this sounded, I compared to other recently bought Miles Davis albums that are AAA (Kevin Grey cuts) pressed at RTI and it holds up quite well in fact I would say I can not hear any quality differences in sound stage, imaging or fullness of sound. DMMs have a mixed reputation and I have a few (dol,waxtime) that I can say are not near the quality of this pressing, also I am surprised that early recording (1952-54) were comparable to albums done years later but they do. I did not compare this to other (Volume 2) Mono LP's and I was going to get the 75th blue note version but I have had a lot of issues with those pressings (very hit or miss). I was able to find this version under $20 NM and I am very happy with it, any other vintage Mono AAA in NM I could get was 4-5 times the price and not worth it to me at this time. I also wanted to get a good LP version in anticipation of Blue Notes (Volume 1) that will release this year under the Classic Vinyl Series (80) that is cut by Kevin Grey AAA it will be interesting to compare once I have that version to my DMM (Volume 2)
