ORIGINAL 1959 COLUMBIA RECORDS STEREO “SIX EYES” LP CS-8163

 

U.S. FIRST PRESSING!

DESCRIPTION OF RECORD

 

RECORD IS AN EX CONDITION. BOTH SIDES HAVE A FEW LIGHT HAIRLINE SCRATCHES THAT DON’T HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE SOUND. THE SURFACE LOOKS GREAT, RARE TO FIND FIRST ISSUES IN THIS CONDITION.

 

LABELS: EX CONDITION.

 

COVER: EX. AMAZING CONDITION. FRONT COVER IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION, SAME FOR THE SPINE. BACK COVER HAS LIGHT DISCOLORATION AGAINST WHITE BACKDROP DUE TO STORAGE. SEEMS ARE NICE, SOLID AND INTACT.

 

INNER SLEEVE: ORIGINAL PLASTIC BAG THAT CAME WITH THE RECORD.

 

 

HOW TO RECOGNIZE AN AUTHENTIC FIRST PRESSING

 

1) B-SIDE LABEL SHOWING WRONG TRACK SEQUENCE (FLAMENCO SKETCHES FIRST, ALL BLUES SECOND).

2) DEEP GROOVE PRESSING

3) ORIGINAL COVER WITH CANNONBALL ADDERLEY’S NAME MISSPELLED

4) UNCORRECTED SPEED PITCH

5) MATRIX NUMBER (XSM 47326/47327) IN TRAIL-OFF DEAD WAX ENDS WITH “1”

6) THE NUMBER, WHICH APPEARS ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE BACK COVER, APPEARS HAND-PRINTED, USUALLY 2 OR 4. IF THIS NUMBER IS MACHINE-PRINTED, IT IS NOT AN ORIGINAL ISSUE.

7) ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSINGS DO NOT HAVE CBS LOGOS ON TOP OF THE RECORD LABEL. IF YOU SEE THE CBS LOGO, YOU ARE LOOKING AT A 1961 OR 1962 ISSUE THAT IS NOT A DEEP-GROOVE ISSUE, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE MATRIX NUMBER. GOOGLE SEARCH: “COLUMBIA US JAZZ LABELS” FOR USEFUL EXPLANATION.
