Mike,
I'll assume since there was no smiley that you really don't know.
"Dark Side.." refers to the Roger Waters (Pink Floyd)masterpiece "Dark Side of the Moon". It's always been my favorite album. Come to think of it, it's not really a rock album, and if you substituted a horn for the lead guitar (blasphemy!), parts of it would sound a lot like jazz.

Mark, while I love jazz (and only recently listened to Kind Of Blue myself), Dark Side Of The Moon is also my favorite album. Pink Floyd isn't my favorite band (they're #2, Zep is #1), and I've only been into them for a few years, but that album is just sublime. I can't think of anything more perfect in music.

Tom,
Ditto on the Zep, especially the bluesier stuff. But this is a JAZZ thread  .
My drive home tonight should be just long enough to listen to all of "Kind of Blue". I'll post my thoughts tomorrow.

I didn't realise you were refering to an album, I misread the post. Oops.

woo-hoo! count me in as a jazz neophyte. i do have the happy anniversary charlie brown cd and always thought it was cool.
five albums is way too much for me...i'll start with just one.
it sounds like the miles davis one is a good call for my first choice?

Yes, Ted. Do yourself a favor and purchase "Kind of Blue". It is really that good, and a wonderful introduction to the world of jazz.

thanks james! kind of blue it is...columbia...remastered. i'm pretty sure i can remember that.
i found it here at amazon. it does appear to be the columbia release, but i'm not sure it's the remastered version that mike is recommending? it's about 12 dollars.
i'll probably check tower/virgin, etc to see if it's comparably priced.

Ted,
That one at Amazon is the remastered version. Do check out Tower Records however. They always have a lot on hand and usually have a sale price of 9 or 10 bucks. I believe I got mine there for $8.

It probably is the remastered version. I don't see why they would sell the first master.
Anyway, I'd recommend just picking it up at a B&M. You won't have to wait or pay S&H, and you can just check the CD to make sure you got the right one.
For Columbia releases, here's how to tell if it's the newer, remastered edition of the album if it isn't clearly labeled:
The front of the jewel case spine should be transparent, not black. Most also come with a yellow sticker on the front.

thanks for the extra info mike! hopefully i'll be able to get this in the next few days. i'm kinda excited...in case you can't tell.
while i am a music fan (700+ cd's, 100+ albums) it'll be nice to explore a new venue. i'm so tired with most of today's music...i've even started listening to the "standards" music channel on my cable-box!
