I just bought a 1959 Columbia CS 8163,6 eye, in mint condition. I also have Kind of Blue in a 200 Gram Classic Records Quiex SV-P re-issue.
The 6 eye original is outstanding.The Classic re-issue is about 80% of the original.$30.00 vs. $170.00. Is it worth the extra money? You bet it is. The original sounds more authentic as you here the sound in a more three dimentional way.
I am new to vinyl but I have done my homework on buying LP's.
Example: John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman on MCA Impulse vs.the original Impulse A-40. The original smokes the MCA. $75.00 VS.$12.00. Is it worth the extra money? YES it is to me but the MCA sounds very good indeed. The MCA is again 80% of the original.
Do you have the money to invest in original Blue Note, Impulse, Mercury etc..If you do then you will be greatly rewarded with great sonics that will further seperate vinyl from digital.
