Vinyl Collectors: Kind OF Blue
rod spence
Miles Davis : Kind Of Blue on vinyl. ( Col PC 8163).
The lp is in stereo.
If someone would like it for their collection, I'll swap it for some
used cd's or a used cd box set of some sort. Jazz only please.
I'll accept cash instead but an exchange seems to be more in the spirit
of the thing.
Non collector vinyl is ok too.
Goldmine's lists a mint stereo Kind of Blue at $100. I'd like a
reasonably sensible offer for it. (Especially one including a Kind Of
Blue cd!)

Sorry pal, but yours ain't the original. The original should have the
stocknumber CS 8163. You have the later issue of the title. But it
still sounds tons better than those horrible digitized re-issues that
Columbia initially put out.

Some weeks ago I bought an analog vinyl copy of Kind Of Blue for $10, Columbia
stereo, new, sealed, though not an original, it's a re-release or something,
but sounds great.

Not all Kind of Blue vinyl is wonderful. My copy, bought in the late
seventies, was a slipshod remastering and pressing mess. Lots of
groove noises on the beginning and end of sides, etc. Any album that
is over 10 years old has to get new stampers made now and then and
this means remastering, which may be done to a lower standard than the
original mastering was.
One thing I really like about CDs is that I never again have to worry
about ugly pressing flaws ruining great music, especially on rare
stuff that you're lucky to even find *one* copy of, never mind trying
to take it back and exchange it for another.

I bought my first copy of Kind of Blue during the 70's and got a
wonderful pressing. I know when Columbia had their Nice Price thing
going, many releases came sealed with no inner sleeve. But I would take
ANY Lp pressing over the shoddy original cd they released. The sound was
horrible, nothing like the original. The new gold 20bit re-issue is not
too bad, but the original vinyl releases are very special, even the mono
sounds exquisite. As far as cd reliability, I've heard my share of cd's
that skip, stall or don't play at all. So don't start that "Perfect Sound
forever" fairy tale. If they were so perfect, why are there Gold cd 20bit
super fidelity when the first cd's issued were so wonderful? Are these more
"perfect than others?" / l l l \
