Description
If you were to ask any jazz lover “What is the greatest jazz album of all time?”, it’s quite possible the great majority of people would answer with “Miles Davis – Kind Of Blue”. Not only is it some of the most beautiful jazz music ever recorded, it is also cited by countless musicians as the most influential album ever. It also is the best-selling jazz album of all time. Check the lineup on this classic collection. Miles Davis surrounded himself with the great jazzmen of the day, including John Coltrane on tenor sax, Cannonball Adderley on alto sax, Bill Evans on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and James Cobb on drums. You hear some of the best work each of these performers has ever recorded on this album as well. This is that seminal album that I believe every music lover should own. The album was released on Columbia in 1959, number CL 1355. This is the original mono release of the album. It has the incorrect back cover track list and the misspelled “Adderly” on both the front and back of the cover. The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and just a few light surface scratches. “Flamenco Sketches” has one scratch that produces noticeable pops throughout the entire track. The other tracks play beautifully with just light sporadic background noise and a few light tics. The vinyl grades VG. The album cover shows ring wear and light corner and edge wear. All seams show a bit of wear but are sharp, tight, and intact. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information
I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I will do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive.I use four grades in my grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping
The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. For Media Mail, shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S. In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $4.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period.Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will be shipped for $21. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.
Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically the cost per album will be no more than $25. Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
