I have a original copy of Miles Davis Kind Of Blue Columbia 8163 left to me from my dads jazz collection.
Is it worth the $1000 dollars & up range? Would be willing to part with album!
Thanks,
George Artis

My husband is a retired trumpet player and has a large collection of old vinyl. He has this particular album and it looks to be in excellent condition. His is stamped cs 8163. Is this a rare record and what is it worth?

I have inherited A collection of albums from my uncle Peter it was the famous bass player out of Germany PETER TRUNK . He played alongside with Gillespie, along with playing on this album Lucky Thompson Lord, Lord, Am I Ever Gonna Know? (1961) and Cees See too, just to name a few. He’s albums are all German bought . Now I have an original first pressing BlueNote Miles Davis Vol.2 1502,
Matrix BN-LP-1502-A. BN-LP-1502-B. And With all the correct credentials of a first pressing, like the cursive big P ,which they call the EAR , a hand Etched RVG, not stamped and 9M also hand etched. I also have Miles Davis ‘kind of blue’, an original BN-
CS 8163 . Matrix XSM47326-1A, XSM47327-1AE. Now they are in there original sleeves and the covers are in fairly good condition . The records themselves play wonderful. now would anybody know who I would talk to to add to their personal collection and not a retail collector of some sort. For these were owned by my uncle Peter and I want them to be appreciated just like he did when he listen to them. Like I said they are from Germany with a Musikhaus Hummel red/gold sticker on the cover and on the record label which was placed over the category number on the first sides of each of these albums. Any buddy to give me any information would be helpful. And like I said this is just a few. I have some my uncle Peter’s original works to which if you look online, they go from anywhere $500 to 2500 . I have some artists signatures with a little quotes saying how thankful they work for Peter assisting them with his great mind for music. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this time .

A few months ago I inherited my dad’s collection of great jazz records which contains a lot of original mono LP’s. Some of them have a label sticker or stamp saying: sample/not for sale, which can be partly explained by the fact that my dad has worked for the Polygram record company as a writer/editor since ’66 or so. I found a Six Eye copy of the CL1355 with the inversed songs on side two. It has a small sticker on both labels saying ‘sample/not for sale’ The matrix numbers are xlp47325-1A (side 2) and xlp47324-1B (side 1). Would this be a rare find? Not selling, because I’m a great jazz fan myself, but curious

I am helping my 88-year-old father go through some of his old LPs to sell before he downsizes into a senior apartment. He has a “six eye” Kind of Blue stereo LP with the stamp XSM47326-1J on side 1 and XSM47327-1H on side 2. I am quite perplexed about how to determine its value. And what exactly is a “deep groove” LP?

Antonio,
Your mono copy of Kind Of Blue is not a first pressing if it has “360 Sound” on the label. That label was first used in 1966, seven years after it was released, the first pressing is on the “six-eye” label.

Hi I have a 6 eye deep groove mono copy with a 1AE/1D stamp. Also Adderly is mis-spelt and the tracks on side 2 are reversed, any thoughts on whether is is rare or not?

Mary, if you bought a new copy in ’69, it’s probably a later issue ..maybe worth 30 bucks max.

I have this album. You can buy it from me for $500. I love this album. (The record is good. the album is used. It is my own copy,) I purchase it in 1969 when I saw him for the first time at Key Stone Corner Jazz night club in San Fransico. He made me cry and jump for joy at the same time like only good music can. He was the greatest of the greats. Mary
