eBaying: Burrell, Warhol, Newk and More

Watching some nice records on eBay and, for now, the prices are not so astonomical. Of course, as they say, astronomical is in the eye of the beholder. Here are a few:

Kenny Burrell, Blue Lights Volume 1, Blue Note 1596. This looks to be an original pressing with the West 63rd Street address and deep grooves. It has, of course, the Andy Warhol cover, which makes it quite collectible and often quite expensive. This one looks to be in M- condition for the vinyl and probably VG++ or M- for the cover. There’s one day left to bid and the price is about $535.

Sonny Clark, Cool Struttin’, Blue Note 1588. This looks to be an original deep groove pressing.  The seller lists it as M-, but he does mention some marks on the vinyl. The cover is listed as VG+. There are four days to go and the price is still less than $150. We’ve seen this record sell for more than $3,000 in the past, so we would expect it to go quite a bit higher, likely into the $1,000 bin.

Sonny Rollins, Moving Out, Prestige 7058. Not my favorite Rollins LP, but an original Prestige right in the sweet spot of the label. This one has been posted by Euclid Records and is listed in M- condition for both the record and the cover, with the adjective “gorgeous” bandied about in the description. This is already close to $500 and there are still five days to go, so perhaps this one will reach the astronomical stage.

Another Blue Note:

Walter Davis, Davis Cup, Blue Note 4018. This is another original pressing from a reliable seller and it is listed in VG++ condition for the record and VG+ for the cover. I’d love to have this one, but I’m sure it will be out of my price range. This one is at $310 with more than five days still to go.

    I watched the price for the Burrell go up and up and eventually decided to bail because I didn’t know the seller and, while it is definitely a lovely record, it isn’t on my “deserted island” list ….. Maybe next time!

    Also watching the Cool Stuttin’ but hate the fact that the listing is so vague and the pictures are so lousy. Not a comfortable way to spend a lot of money on a great record …. Larry
