Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Kind Of Blue are there?
358 vinyl pressings of Kind Of Blue are listed here, from 23 countries, released between 1959 and 2026.
When was Kind Of Blue first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and more. One of them is Columbia CS 8163, released August 17, 1959.
How do I tell if my copy of Kind Of Blue is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CS 8163, CL 1355, KLP893, KLP 893) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSM47326-1BC A and XSM47327-1A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Kind Of Blue on vinyl worth?
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
