Comment on How To Organize Your Jazz Vinyl . . . Who Knows!!??!!? by Mattyman

Mattyman — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:37:37 +0000

My collection of seventies funk, disco, r&b and basically all other styles that I’ve acquired over the years is in alphabetical order. The modest collection of Blue Notes that I have is stored by number, starting with BLP 1501. The one BN 10″ from Sydney Bechet that I have is placed right before 1501. And while I write this I suddenly wonder why Alfred Lion didn’t just start with 1500 instead of 1501. And why continue with 4000 after 1600?

not scientific but, sorry to admit it, your interpretation is right.
we’ll never get the DG truth after 4059.

I have determined for my own purposes that I will consider anything after 4059 or so a first whether it has DG or not, as long as it has ear and proper labels – at least until something more definitive comes along. I think that was effectively Fred C’s conclusion in his response to JC readers re: 4059 with the preview stamp on the label and no DG.

hmmmm, I guess the DGx2 is the first and DGx1 is early (but not first). I think that the exceptional condition has a lot to do with it along with the reputation of the seller.

To some extent Fred Cohen could tell everything and the people would believe him and pay big prices.
Just my two cents.

Al : absolutely agreed. Of course, Fred Cohen can sell record at a higher price than many other sellers. This is based on the reputation of the seller, the serious of the grading etc…

In Fred’s book it says 4198 should be a double sided DG. Maybe there is a story behind this, maybe it’s especially rare as a one-sided DG.

It’s Cohen’s listing. Whatever he says in the listing must be the story.

regarding the Hutcherson:.. I thought that a BN lp (after a certain number) with one-side deep groove was suposed to be ALWAYS a second pressing?? Especially after 4150…???somebody got the cohen book nearby?)
