Up for auction is the extremely sought after original Stereo Jazz LP "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis on Columbia Records #CS 8163. This is the first pressing in hard to find Stereo with the Columbia "6-eye" label in gorgeous, top-copy condition. Visually graded using Goldmine standards, the vinyl rates a near mint with barely a hint of ever having been played and beautiful shine with clean, vibrant labels. The matrix numbers are XSM47326-1AL and XSM472327-1BG. The jacket is also near mint with no ring wear, dirt or splits with only two very minor rub spots on the top seam. Also has the original plastic inner sleeve. I am not an audiofile so I did not listen to the record because my set up will be subpar to yours and I find sound to be subjective to the listener. I sell at shows and will guarentee that if you saw this copy, you would buy it without hesitation. Definitely the nicest copy I've ever seen and in stereo which is much harder to find. The record will be shipped in a sturdy record mailer with the record outside of the jacket in a plastic record sleeve. Do NOT miss this copy!!!

Kind of Blue is a studio album by American jazz musician Miles Davis, released on August 17, 1959, by Columbia Records. It was recorded earlier that year on March 2 and April 22 at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York City. The recording sessions featured Davis's ensemble sextet, consisting of pianist Bill Evans, drummer Jimmy Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, together with pianist Wynton Kelly on one track.

After the entry of Evans into his sextet, Davis followed up on the modal experimentations of Milestones (1958) by basing Kind of Blue entirely on modality, in contrast to his earlier work with the hard bop style of jazz.

Though precise figures have been disputed, Kind of Blue has been described by many music writers not only as Davis's best-selling album, but as the best-selling jazz record of all time. On October 7, 2008, it was certified quadruple platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Kind of Blue has been regarded by many critics as jazz's greatest record, Davis's masterpiece, and one of the best albums of all time. Its influence on music, including jazz, rock, and classical genres, has led writers to also deem it one of the most influential albums ever recorded. Kind of Blue was one of fifty recordings chosen in 2002 by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry, and in 2003, it was ranked number 12 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
