Dear Michael, thank you for the timely Birth Of The Blue delivery and the very good packaging and thorough vinyl wash. Quality of cover and vinyl: flawless, of course, musically and sonically too. I watched and read this video on mute with subtitles so that I could continue listening to Miles Davis. By the way: as I only discovered a few days ago in my collection (40 albums by Miles Davis, analogue and digital...), there is still one good official CD with the Birth Of The Blue tracks. It's part of the 50th Anniversary Collectors Edition (2008, Columbia/Sony Legacy) of Kind of Blue (1 LP, 2 CDs, 1 DVD plus hardcover book and 10 extra photos). And this CD sounds, amazingly, damn good. Even better than Kind of Blue's 50th Anniversary LP (vinyl: background noise). Compared to the Birth Of The Blue LP, Bill Evans' brilliant piano work can be heard much more clearly on the CD, the overall sound of the CD is very well balanced, amazingly good CD mastering, unfortunately something like this is relatively rare. Result: I actually prefer the CD to the first-class vinyl. Or is that also because a Denon DP 3000 NE with Lyra Delos or Denon DL 103 plus Nagra Phonopre can't keep up with my recently thoroughly optimised digital chain? If only I knew...
I love this album and how it has been done and I got it before x-mas, thank you for your quick turnaround and shipping it out. Listened to it this morning a few times and had a wonderful start into the day.
I was rather suprised, to hold this record in my hands on Saturday. Next week after christmas I have enough time to get more into it. Thanks a lot to you and Hartmut. I wish you a joyful christmas and a hopefully better year 2025. See you on Sunday for the next 80ies (85-89) Stream.
Hi Michael, meine Blue von dir ist pünktlich und perfekt angekommen…da hast du mir eine schöne Weihnachtsüberraschung geschickt! 🎉👍🏼 The Record is Amazing! 😊
Merry Christmas Michael & Team! Thanks for the hard work and super fast shipping. I got my copy on Friday in Helsinki and been enjoying this great music during holidays. I have original Columbia mono "Jazz Track" LP but never heard the fourth track "Love for Sale" before. Great to have all 4 songs together, sounding great, in beautifull cover!
The reviews on this channel had much more meaning when Michael was not financially intertwined with Acoustic Sounds. I knew the review was going to be fantastic before I even clicked the link. I know several people that have benefited from Michael's involvement in record sales, but with gains comes something lost.
Terry, I think I am in a position to listen/judge this record on an above average sound system. So if the recording would be terrible I would have confirm that right away. But regarding this record the opposite is true. Everything Michael says about this album is true. The sound quality is very good. So I can say as well highly recommended!
@@marcellavankraaij That you feel its not terrible or even very good is likely correct and I would not expect Michael to try to push something that sounds obviously bad. However, many of us have record collections large enough to have many "very good" options. In this video, Michael is claiming much more than you mentioned and says the album is amazing and is everything the listener could hope for. To gain the trust of an audience to the point where we can rely on *any* reviewer to discern the subtleties between very good and exceptional takes time and (individual) verification. That level of credibility is something that this channel built over many, many reviews. Unfortunately that trust takes a hit once there are financial ties.
I‘ve pre-ordered and I am hoping the sound is better than with „A kind of blue“. I am not a huge Jazz Fan, but I like the music of Miles Davis, I love Kenny Burrell‘s „Midnight Blue“ and I don‘t like „A love supreme“ from Coltraine for instance. So I am waiting to get my hands on this release. Merry Christmas!

Thank you, Michael. When is the second batch arriving at your shop? Need to know when to Order it, so it wont arrive while we‘re on Holidays. Thanks in advance.
If you want to know more about Kind of Blue and Birth of The Cool: There is an incredibly good book about both recordings with very interesting details and lots of photos: "Kind of Blue/Die Entstehung eines Meisterwerks" (Rogner & Bernhard/Zweitausendeins) by Ashley Kahn, who is also the author of the Birth of The Blue cover text. Costs only 11 to 18 euros second-hand online. Highly recommended for all Davis and jazz enthusiasts. Very worthy too: 4 Pages with competent 60 Tipps for LPs of the Musicians on Birth of the Blue and more
Servus Michael, nice presentation of this release, thanks. I sent you Christmas wishes via email to your shop address, but it seems you don’t check all your emails, or perhaps it ended up in your spam folder. So, I’m sending my best wishes here instead: Merry Christmas and happy holidays! Greetings from Vienna, George 👍
I got mine a couple of days ago and I couldn't be happier with it. My copy was on preorder for a while (black vinyl), but it was worth the wait! I have played it several times and it keeps getting better. I agree the jacket and the quality of vinyl is stellar. It arrived in a box I can only describe as a cardboard vault; the condition was perfect. Merry Christmas to you and thanks for the great video.
Du hast so viele auch neuen Platten, hast du auch so oft sehr gewellte und nicht plane Vinyl dabei? Ich finde gerade die ganzen neuen Platten sind oft ganz ganz schlimm. Gehen dann auch immer sofort zurück.
Mein Versuch, ein romantisches Abendessen zu veranstalten, endete damit, dass wir etwas zum Mitnehmen bestellten, weil ich bei dem Versuch, mit meinen Kochkünsten zu beeindrucken, den Rauchalarm auslöste. Nächstes Mal gibt's Essen bei Kerzenschein💝
Merry Christmas, Michael. 🎄

Hope you forgive me that I ordered the blue one directly this time. 😥😌 What do you think. Will there be a UHQR of „Birth Of The Blue“ in the future?
no i dont think there will be an UHQR of it

I am selling the Pirelli P2 sport tires for sport cars, how much would you charge to produce a sweet rave promo like this for me?
