What Would You Do with a Sealed, 1st Press Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"?


This LP is still sealed in the original clear plastic inner sleeve (just one tiny 1/8" circular spot of mold on one track).  The LP cover has clearly seen shelf life making it say VG.   I am curious about what would you do please?  Open and play or sell to buy other records or?  All thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated - thank you 😉

bdp24, You believe correct! Around that time Classic was promoting it and a rep came to our little audio club in Seattle and told us all the story. Then played each version. Which after him explaining exactly what happened and why and the result and a bunch of stuff about Miles was really one of the more fascinating demo’s, for me anyway.

The new correct speed version definitely sounds better. Shifting speed shifts tonal structure we’re not talking something tiny you would never notice this is pretty easy to hear. But only side by side. You’d have to be awfully perfect-pitch golden-eared to notice any other way.

For example, I have a copy. Probably the correct speed version. Would have to look to see. Whatever. Its Miles. If I want better I know where to go- Better Records.
