This is the first time the album has been available in the Crystal Disc format, part of a series aiming to provide the best possible version of iconic recordings with "ultimate high-quality sound".

The Miles Davis - Kind of Blue [Crystal Disc CD] is a limited, special, and remastered edition released in 2025 by AudioNautes Recordings, available for purchase from The Sound of Tape.

The "Crystal Disc CD" is a specific, high-quality audio format that uses a different material from standard CDs to offer enhanced sound quality. It is a high-end, limited-edition product and is priced accordingly.

Crystal Disc (Glass) CD

The first time Kind of Blue was released was in a Crystal Disc Format Special Limited Edition Release. Kind of Blue is regarded by many critics as Davis's masterpiece, the greatest jazz album ever recorded, and one of the best albums of all time. Its impact on music, including jazz, rock, and classical genres, has led writers to also deem it one of the most influential albums ever made. Kind of Blue is based entirely on modality, diverging from Davis's earlier hard-bop style of jazz with its complex chord progression and improvisation.

Nat King Cole was more acknowledged by the public as a popular chart-topping singer, this album is a reminder that he was also an incredible jazz pianist and the inspiration of many other musicians of the time and beyond, including Oscar Peterson.

Nat King Cole reversed himself and went into the studio with guitarist John Collins, bassist Charlie Harris, and drummer Bunny Shawker and recorded the eight-song Penthouse Serenade, a quiet, reflective set of standards like 'Somebody Loves Me' and 'Laura' that he performed instrumentally at the piano. The album confirmed that, whatever success he might be having as a singer, he hadn't lost his touch.

The original Penthouse Serenade album, issued in 1952, and consisted of the first four tracks on each side. It was reissued in 1955 adding four tracks from a new quartet session on which Lee Young replaced Bunny Shawker on drums.
