A Couple More Nice Prestiges
Jul 29, 2010 Prestige
While we’re on the subject, sort of, here are a couple more nice Prestiges, both from the same seller.
Hank Mobley, Mobley’s Message, Prestige 7061. This looks like a nice one, with the vinyl in M- condition and the cover looking like a VG++. This is closing tomorrow and is now in the $260 price range, although it will sell for much more than that, right? Elmo Hope, Informal Jazz, Prestige 7043. This looks to be the second cover, but it is a beauty nonetheless. This one looks to be VG++ or so for the vinyl and probably about the same as the cover. The current price is in the $250 range. When you look at these also click the seller’s other items: He’s got a huge batch of collectibles on eBay this week, including some very nice Blue Notes that will make handsome additions to the $1,000 bin.

Is this the Origninal Cover, what does the other one look like? Anyone have a link to a picture? This is the only cover I’ve seen before, what is the story behind the other?

the other cover was titled Two Tenors with Mobleyand Coltrane featured. it was brown no pics. ofter the label would still have Informal Jazz if it was a west 50 pressing. Two Tenors only exists with Bergen label

Thanks for the info, I wonder if that cover goes for less? I’ll keep a look out for it, this looks like a great session.

Mike: there was a third cover showing the pictures of Trane (big) and a smaller picture of Hank, also entitled “Two Tenors”.
The 3rd version is frequently offered on EBay and it goes for reasonable prices.
