Miles Davis
"Kind of Blue"
1963 Columbia Repress
1xLP
The thrifting gods must have been smiling on me. This second pressing, in mono, was sitting at Goodwill for $2.99.
It also has all of the errors related to this pressing (according to Discogs):
Specific to this version:
• On front and back jacket: Julian "Cannonball" Adderley is misspelled "Adderly".
• On the back jacket: "4" printed in lower right corner.
• On the back jacket: Tracks B1 and B2 reversed but are in correct order on label.
• On the labels: No "CBS" in small black letters under "Columbia" at the top.
• On the labels: "Kind Of Blue" is on a single line, in bold font and "Miles Davis" is beneath on a single line, in a slim font.
• On the labels: The track titles are center justified.
It was super dusty when I got it, which caused a lot of noise in the first play, but after a cycle in the Spin Clean, it sounds great! Side A has some noise, nothing distracting, and Side B sounds great! Hopefully a few more cleans will make an affect.
I do have the mono and stereo copies that were released for RSD in the early 2010s, but this is a real mono version. Just for reference, this is a two-eye, not a six-eye pressing.
I never thought I would own such an early pressing in mono, none the less, so I'm grateful to have this.
