    - "AA" appears before the 682 059 on the label
    - Perimeter text ends with "MADE IN ENGLAND"
    - E/T tax code next to spindle hole on side 1 means that this version was released between April 8, 1959 and July 31, 1960.

    Features of the 2nd issue include:
    - "KIND OF BLUE" is written above the spindle holes
    - "Side 1" and "Side 2" are included on the labels
    - There is no "PRODUCT OF PHILIPS" printed on the back cover

    The above notes are from discogs

CONDITION:

  • Record: The record has a couple of light surface marks but plays as EXCELLENT or better (both sides) although there are a couple of light clicks on both sides

  • Labels: Clean and bright, no writing

  • Sleeve: Generally EXCELLENT condition - see images
GRADING SYSTEM

  • MINT: The record is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The sleeve and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

  • EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

  • VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

  • GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

  • FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

  • POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
