I have the rest of the trio sessions picked up from various sources and they’re great records. I bid on Explorations and I always get beat out by a dollar or two at the last minute.. frustrating. I’ll get it someday.

I was not aware of the difference in in the Mulligan/Monk. I have the mono, in VG shape and plays with surface noise. I might keep an eye out for a stereo as a replacement instead of a mono so I can have both.

Rudolf, is your keyboard broken again?

I HAVE STEREO AND MONO COPIES OF SOME MONK ALBUMS ON RIVERSIDE. THEY ARE WELL ENGINEERED AND I KEEP THEM IN MY COLLECTION WITH THE MONO COPIES.
THERE IS AN EXAMPLE WHERE THE STEREO VERSION HAS OTHER TAKES THAN THE MONO ONE, E.G. MONK MEETS MULLIGAN, ANOTHER REASON TO KEEP BOTH.

My copy is an Orpheum stereo and sounds nice. Never heard the mono. I find that some Riversides stereo pressing are very nice and am curios what ithers think? I’m less infatuated with Evans than most but still enjoy him.

The recent BLP 1568 went for $ 4600, which is a hefty price. In the case of the McLean Ad Lib album the reserve price was not met, still one cannot say that one is more scarce than the other. They are pretty much in the same league. One is a Blue Note and a Mobley, apparently more “cult” than Ad Lib / McLean. Probably this seller may try his luck again. We will see what happens.

Three copies went in quick succession in the run up to Xmas: I guess Santa had his work cut out delivering in time.

I have been second place bidder on four auctions for it, and I have vowed one day Debby will have the Last Waltz with me. It just could turn out a long wait.

it’s my impression that several rookies have become to go up and up, and all are records sold in the last 3-4 years for a two hundred bucks or less: now they’re flying the sky high, in contrast with an apparent reduction of the well known Graals.
first option: some requests exceed the market capabilities (1568) and don’t meet a buyer, being the time expired.
second option: the interest, the real one that pays cash on the nail, is moving towards other recordings, neglected before (4048).
third option: someone is going to play a really schizoid role without any logic.
all of these options are daily perfectly cared and recorded here.
I would like to remember that, out of our small jazz garden, there are several unknown 7″ of no musical interest at all, that are snatched away for more than our best selling Hank Mobley.
I don’t wanna criticize musical tastes, but this is our collectors’ world.

It’s just wow to me still, after all these years, that someone could offer that much money for a single record and still not be able to purchase it.
