Catching Up Again: Andy Warhol Covers
Oct 29, 2009 Album Covers, Blue Note, Prestige, RCA
Let’s catch up on some Andy Warhol covers.
Kenny Burrell, Blue Lights Volume 2, Blue Note 1597. This was an original pressing in M- condition for both the record and the cover. The price was $482. Frankly, we would have expected it sell for a higher price in this condition.
Thelonious Monk, Monk, Prestige 7053. This was an original pressing with the New York address. The record was listed in VG++ condition and the cover was VG++ as well. The price was $600.
Moondog, The Story of Moondog, Prestige 7093. This was an original pressing with the New York address. The record was in VG+ condition
and the cover was also VG+. The price was $250.50.
Finally, there was this: Joe Newman, I’m Still Swinging, RCA 1198. This was an original mono pressing in M- condition for both the record and the cover. The price was $203.50. The last time we tracked this record it sold for $58. Quite a leap.

Glad to see a picture of my burrell record win on JC! I decided to do a local pickup in case they didn’t know how to ship vinyl. The fact that I could pick it up was a big reason I bid so high in the first place. When I got there I waited for 20 minutes for the record (they said they were not expecting me although we ok’d time) so when they handed it to me I just checked the label quickly to make sure the right record was there. When I got home to check it out I noticed no blue note original inner sleeve even though they said it was there, also the record has a few pressing bubbles and a slightly feelable scratch.

Sorry, cut myself off- They wouldn’t give me a full refund becuase I “inspected the record upon recieving it.” They said that would have been different if I didn’t pick it up. Oh, well. They eventually gave me a $50 dollar refund, but I still feel slightly ripped off. The record sounds ok though, just some noise in the bubbles. Tina Brooks and Louis Smith WOW.
I thought I would have learned my lesson and bid on only reasonably priced records, but I have a confession about the Konitz/Marsh record.
