Some words: MILES DAVIS:“Mode Study” (Columbia Japan – XLP-43598~9/XLP-47324~5) Japan only issue, monstrously rare especially with the obi attached. 1st original pressing and the first copy I have ever encountered complete with obi. Stunning 2 LP set that combines Milestones & Kind Of Blue as a rarely seen Japanese-only Nippon Columbia 2-LP vinyl set. The whole set was released in 1960 in Japan and brings together the 6-track 'Milestones' album [originally released in 1958] that features Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones; plus the 5-track 'Kind of Blue' album [from 1959] that starred Adderley, Trane and Bill Evans. The whole affair is housed in a unique glossy card gatefold picture sleeve. Top condition and this copy here comes with always missing obi, 1st copy ever to cross my eyes with obi present. Rare as a hen’s teeth.

Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
