Both mono and stereo are available at HDTracksdotcom, in AIFF, ALAC, FLAC,
or WAV. 192/24 is $24.98 and 96/24 is $17.98, the Columbia/Legacy 2013
re-issue. There is also quite an interesting book by Richard Williams,
copyright 2009, to celebrate the 50th Anniversary, titled The Blue Moment;
Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and the Remaking of Modern Music. Quite
reasonably priced at Amazon, since it wasn't destined to be a mass market
success. I really thought about which version to get, and decided on the
stereo; I like to listen to the individual players. I recently discovered
Kind Of Blue at a course about jazz at a local college, and am becoming
addicted. I listened to classical and folk during the 50's and 60's; Kind
of Blue snuck past me. If you trust Wikipedia, there sure have been a lot
of re-issues.
