The Kind of Blue Mofi is literally a different mix. Also not done by Hoffman and Gray.
But yeah, Compare the Classics Blue Train to the AP 45 rpm by Hoffman and Gray. IMO no contest. And the Grundman may very well be more accurate. Steve Hoffman had some very specific and pointed opinions about what was wrong with the Ven Gelder original recordings for Blue Note. IME you can go right on down the line and the Gray/Hoffman verisons are way better.
Funny thing, I feel that even the MM records fell off a bit when they stopped using Hoffman. Yeah, he seasons the sound. I like it.
