MILES DAVIS - KIND OF BLUE - COLUMBIA CS 8163. RELEASED ON AUGUST 17, 1959 THIS ICONIC MASTERPIECE HAS GONE ON TO BE THE BEST SELLING JAZZ RECORDING EVER AND HAD REAMS OF MATERIAL WRITTEN ABOUT IT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF PRINT AND THIS WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL STEREO VERSION REMAINS THE RAREST VERSION ON LP. THERE ARE FAR MORE MONO WLP VERSIONS AVAILABLE AS MONO WAS STILL THE MAIN FORM OF VINYL MEDIA IN 1959, THE DAWN OF STEREO PRESSINGS/RELEASES.

APTLY RECOGNIZED FOR IT'S INCREDIBLE SONICS AS MUCH FOR IT'S INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCES AND MUSIC, THIS ISSUE HAS LONG BEEN REGARDED AS AN AUDIOPHILE GEM. THIS COPY HAS THE COVER AT A NICE VG++ WITH SOME MINOR WEAR/CHIPPING TO THE SEAMS AND A BIT OF WEAR TO THE FRONT. THE B/C HAS A PRINTING PLANT FLAW/MIS-PRESS WHERE THE SLICK WAS LIGHTLY PRINTED OFF CENTER BEFORE THEY GOT THINGS RIGHT.  THE LETTER "B" IS WRITTEN IN PENCIL URHC AND THERE IS SOME RUBBING AND LIGHT STAINING AS WELL.

THE HEAVY PRESS VINYL IS VG+ WITH SCUFFS AND SWIRLS AND SOME LIGHT NEEDLE MARKS. IT PLAYS AT VG+ WITH THE ASSOCIATED NOISE YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM THAT GRADE AT TIMES BUT OVERALL IS A VERY, VERY NICE AND ENJOYABLE LISTEN. WE'VE ALWAYS PREFERRED THE STEREO VERSION; THE DETAIL IS FANTASTIC!

THE WLP LABELS ARE VG+ WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS AND SOME PARANOID  CROSSED OUT THE PROMO TEXT WITH A BLACK MARKER. THERE'S A SCRATCH THROUGH THE "M" IN COLUMBIA ON SIDE 2 THAT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER ERROR. THE MATIRX SIDE 1 READS:XSM47326-1AC. SIDE 2 READS:XSM47327-1AE.      

  Miles Davis – trumpet (band leader) Julian "Cannonball" Adderley – alto saxophone, except on "Blue in Green" John Coltrane – tenor saxophone Bill Evans – piano (except "Freddie Freeloader"), liner notes Wynton Kelly – piano on "Freddie Freeloader" Paul Chambers – double bass Jimmy Cobb – drums
