 ***THIS AUCTION IS FOR A RARE MONO, WHITE LABEL,PROMO COPY OF THE PROLIFIC MILES DAVIS JAZZ LP " KIND OF BLUE" IT IS HARD TO CALL THE RECORD RARE AS IT IS ONE OF THE MOST PRESSED JAZZ  LP'S OF ALL TIME BUT, WITH THIS COPY WE ARE DEALING WITH SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. FOR STARTERS, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS COPY EVER SAW A TURNTABLE.I HAVE GRADED AT VG++/ NM NOW, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WISPY COVER CONTACT MARKS THAT HAVE NO AFFECT ON THE AUDIO BUT CAN BE SEEN UNDER VERY BRIGHT LIGHT. NATURALLY THIS COPY HAS THE MISPELLINGS OF "ADDERLY" FRONT AND BACK COVER. THE INCORRECT TRACK LISTING ON SIDE 2, THIS ERROR WAS CORRECTED ON COMMERCIAL COPIES AFTER 11/59 SO, ALL PROMO COPIES HAVE THE LISTING ERROR AND ARE PRE 11/59 PRESSINGS.ALL PROMO COPIES HAVE MATRIX STAMPER #'S OF ID OR HIGHER. MOST LIKELY ALL PROMOS WERE MANUFACTURED AT THE TERRE HAUTE, IN. PLANT AND WILL HAVE A "T" IN THE DEAD WAX AS THIS ONE DOES ON BOTH SIDES.LAST THING, THE HEAVY "#4" IS VERY VISIBLE BACK COVER BOTTOM RIGHT. THE LIST OF MUSICIANS IS INCREDIBLE THAT PLAYED ON THIS MASTERPIECE.  I BELIEVE THAT COLLECTORS WILL HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING A NICER MONO/PROMO COPY OF THIS ORIGINAL 1959 RELEASE TO ADD TO A SERIOUS COLLECTION. DON'T LET THIS INVESTMENT QUALITY RARITY SLIP AWAY!  ***PLEASE NOTE : INTERNATIONAL ORDERS OVER $200.00 WILL STILL INCUR A CHARGE OF $60.00 FOR EXPRESS SHIPPING WITH TRACKING NUMBER; I CANNOT AFFORD THE" I DIDN'T RECEIVE MY RECORD" PROBLEMS FROM CERTAIN PARTS OF THE WORLD. MY OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS ARE FANTASTIC BUT, OCCASIONAL PROBLEMS MAKE IT TOUGH ON EVERYONE, THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

VG+  - A RECORD IN THIS CONDITION WILL HAVE A FEW VISIBLE IMPERFECTIONS. THESE MAY INCLUDE SLEEVE SCUFFS, SUPERFICIAL MARKS,AND LIGHT SCRATCHES.
