The Miles Davis Quintet – Workin’ With The Miles Davis Quintet

I am surprised reading some negative reviews and some saying it doesn’t differ from the recent OJCs. Maybe it’s because my amp is within the neutral spectrum? (NAD C316, no coloration opposite to vintage receivers and integrated amps). It does differ and is an overall improvement. Has the Kevin Gray tone which I wasn’t expecting due to the previous reviews

Bought brand new sealed from Amazon. Jacket and sleeve quality are pretty good. Pressing quality is very good too, my copy is flat, well centered and almost dead silent. It’s not cheap, but it’s a great version of this awesome album. 4.9 / 5

Listening on my Fluance RT85 with an upgraded Ortofon 2M Mono cartridge - incredible detail and separation. It sparkles! Miles is in the room.

Got this as the last piece to complete my Miles Davis Quintet Mono collection, the other three I have are from Chad's Analogue Productions/QRP. As with every other OJC/Craft re-issue mastered by Kevin at Cohearent and pressed by the RTI, this is an absolute killer - sound wise, quality of production, packaging and finish, it matches other 3 from Chad at AP.

A must have.

This is just wonderful. I own an earlier OJC which I was already really happy with but this is just a step up from that in all ways. The music flies out of my speakers with such life and gusto..
Surprised by some of the negative reviews here - i can’t imagine anyone being unhappy with this.
Perfect sound, perfect slab of vinyl, bearing in mind there’s one or brief moments of tape drop out.
Really really liking what this reboot of the OJC series is serving up.

Anyone compare this with some Japanese pressing’s? Would love to hear someone’s opinion on that

3/5 from me on this one. If you have the $20 OJC and you enjoy it, this is not a noticeable upgrade. I took the chance with store credit bc AAA / tip on jacket, but was surprised how little of a difference it made.

I’m not in love with sound on this one. It’s fine but definitely not audiophile worthy. :) I think my 45 rpm AP is better but again , I do not think this the best recorded to start with.

I have bought this reissue in one order with Waltz for Debby from the same series. I am happy that I started listening with Bill Evans because it made my day. Otherwise I would be disappointed, not because of the musi (which is great) but due to quality of the vinyl that shall be perfect for the price (warped, scratched and noisy form time to time). Mastering is nice but I have no earlier vinyl release to compare, just the Japan SACD from 2013 (not in discogs but it has UCGO-9013 on it, hence it must be a reissue of 2011 one). I would not say that this vinyl knocks that SACD out. I think I will go for the replacement

This is my second 2023 Craft OJC I've picked up, and not in love with either. Many tape errors across the album - honestly sounds to me like these Prestige tapes are cooked. I'll have to go back and A/B to earlier masters.
