Is there anything left to say on the most popular — and arguably greatest — jazz LP of all time? Quite a lot, as it happens. For a start there is the matter of the master tapes. The original recording sessions for Kind of Blue took place at the Columbia 30th Street Studios in Manhattan, nicknamed ‘the Church’, in March and April 1959. During these sessions both a mono and a three-track stereo master were created, using a total of four tape recorders running in synchronisation — one prime recorder and one safety backup each for mono and stereo. The mono tapes have gone missing. Maybe they’re in your garden shed. Have a look. The two stereo tapes were stored safely in a vault for over three decades before anyone thought of taking them out for remastering.

Can you elaborate on this deal?
Am I making a one-off payment of £4.99 or am I signing my life away to a long-term direct debit subscription?

Future issues £14.99 so best to buy from the shops I'd say, as usual this is a first issue offer price

Do you know which stores are stocking the first issue with the record included?

Looks like Issue 2 is Blue Train by John Coltrane for £9.99 so if you don't cancel in time you wouldn't be paying £14.99 till issue 3. Looks like you get a record cleaning kit free with first issue too so would say its worth the punt (unless you already have one)
