Description
MILES DAVIS | KIND OF BLUE | ORIGINAL DEMO | 1959 COLUMBIA RECORDS | STEREO “SIX EYES” LP CS-8163
U.S. FIRST DEMONSTRATION PRESSING!
THIS IS A PRECIOUS AND VERY WELL LOOKED AFTER ISSUE THAT WILL BE OF INTEREST TO SERIOUS COLLECTORS
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
MATRIX ENDINGS ARE 1-E (5TH lacquer cutting) AND 1-K (10th lacquer cutting)!
DESCRIPTION OF VINYL
RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION ON SIDE 1 AND VG+ ON SIDE TWO ON ACCOUNT OF A COUPLE OF NEEDLE SLIPS THAT ARE VISIBLE BUT DON’T AFFECT PLAY, VERY LITTLE PLAY WITH THIS COPY.
COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. LOVELY SPINE, FRONT AND BACK, NO WRITING OR STAINS. SLIGHT VISIBLE WEAR ON THE CORNERS.
HOW TO RECOGNIZE AN AUTHENTIC FIRST PRESSING
1) B-SIDE LABEL SHOWING WRONG TRACK SEQUENCE (FLAMENCO SKETCHES FIRST, ALL BLUES SECOND).
2) DEEP GROOVE PRESSING
3) ORIGINAL COVER WITH CANNONBALL ADDERLEY’S NAME MISSPELLED
4) UNCORRECTED SPEED PITCH
5) MATRIX NUMBER (XSM 47326/47327) IN TRAIL-OFF DEAD WAX ENDS WITH “1”
6) THE NUMBER, WHICH APPEARS ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE BACK COVER, APPEARS HAND-PRINTED, USUALLY 2 OR 4.
IF THIS NUMBER IS MACHINE-PRINTED, IT IS NOT AN ORIGINAL ISSUE.
7) ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSINGS DO NOT HAVE CBS LOGOS ON TOP OF THE RECORD LABEL. IF YOU SEE THE CBS LOGO, YOU ARE LOOKING AT A 1961 OR 1962 ISSUE THAT IS NOT A DEEP-GROOVE ISSUE, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE MATRIX NUMBER. GOOGLE SEARCH: “COLUMBIA US JAZZ LABELS” FOR USEFUL EXPLANATION.
8) FIRST PRESSING HAS A SINGLE LETTER AT THE END OF THE MATRIX. THESE REPRESENT THE VERY FIRST LACQUER CUTTINGS. COLUMBIA USED ONLY THE LETTERS A-L, EXCLUDING I; THUS:
A – 1st cutting
B – 2nd cutting
C – 3rd cutting
D – 4th cutting
E – 5th cutting
F – 6th cutting
G – 7th cutting
H – 8th cutting
