Jazz Vinyl Update: Richardson, Monk, et al
Here’s some jazz vinyl we were watching over the weekend:
Jerome Richardson, Roamin’ With Richardson, New Jazz 8226. This was an original pressing that was listed in VG++ condition for the vinyl and VG+ for the cover. It sold for $305. Looks like a new seller on eBay who will be posted some more items in the next few weeks.
Thelonious Monk, Prestige 7027. This looked to be an original pressing with the kakubushi cover. It looked to be in VG++ condition for both the record and the cover. The price was $250.
This seller from South Korea sold some nice records this weekend, including: Duke Jordan, Flight to Jordan, Blue Note 4046. This was an original West 63rd Street pressing. The vinyl was M- and the cover was VG++. The price was $638. Also, Curtis Fuller, Volume 3, Blue Note 1583. This was also an original pressing and this one was in VG+ condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $421. Finally, Art Farmer, Donald Byrd, Idrees Sulieman, Three Trumpets, Prestige 7092. This was an original New York pressing in M- condition for the vinyl and VG++ for the cover. It sold for $344.
Did you all notice well, a SELLER from Korea, not a buyer!
Re Three Trumpets. As far as I know, this album was only issued with the NY adress. It did not stay long in the catalogue, but was re-issued in the early sixties as a two-fer, with the blue trident labels.
The Richardson-LP is fantastic, as well as “Midnight oil”. Both are relatively rare and fetch some nice prices, when they pop up. I’m still missing and I recently lost over a VG+ copy of “Midnight oil” for abou 40$.
