"Davis' iconic 1959 album, Kind of Blue, will be issued by Analogue Productions as a 180-gram double LP 33 1/3 edition, with Side 4 cut at 45 RPM, on October 31st. The pressing is sourced from the original Classic Records parts mastered by Bernie Grundman directly from the original master tape. Davis aficionados will be keen to know that long-standing speed issues caused by the motor on Columbia's 3-track master recorder running slow that affected the first three tracks on the original recording ("So What," "Freddie Freeloader," and "Blue in Green"), have been corrected on this edition."
"Pressed on standard black vinyl, there will also be a limited-edition blue vinyl version, limited to just 1,500 copies, available exclusively through Acoustic Sounds. In addition to the speed-corrected main program, Side 4 features an alternate take of "Flamenco Sketches" cut at 45 RPM for maximum fidelity. Pre-orders are ongoing."
"Then, on January 30th, 2026, Columbia/Legacy Recordings will release Miles Davis - The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965 on vinyl and CD for the first time in 30 years. The recordings feature Davis's Second Great Quintet, which consisted of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams. Captured over two nights in a small Chicago club, the band was inspired by drummer Williams to play "anti-music," culminating in their well-honed setlist being turned "inside out." "We found ways to make the old music sound as new as the new music we were recording," is how Davis described the results."
Analogue Productions will reissue Kind of Blue as a 180-gram double LP 33 1/3 edition with Side 4 cut at 45 RPM on October 31, sourced from Classic Records parts mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original master tape. Known speed issues from Columbia's 3-track master recorder that slowed the first three tracks have been corrected. Packaging includes a heavyweight Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold, a four-panel insert with speed-correction details and Robert Palmer liner notes; standard black and a 1,500-copy blue vinyl exclusive to Acoustic Sounds are planned. Columbia/Legacy will release The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965 on January 30, 2026, featuring the Second Great Quintet recorded over two Chicago nights exploring "anti-music" approaches.
