A Bounteous Batch of Blue Note Beauties

If you were to jump onto eBay today, as I have just done, you will find a large number of very nice original Blue Note records in extremely attractive condition. It isn’t always this way, but it certainly is now, and here a few to peruse, starting with: Curtis Fuller, Bone and Bari, Blue Note 1572. This is an original pressing that looks to be in VG++ (or better) condition for the record and M- for the cover. This record features Sonny Clark on piano. The start price is $500 and so far there are no bidders, but it’s safe to assume that there will be. This seller, bluenote5, has a bunch of nice Blue Notes on eBay right now. For instance, Hank Mobley Quintet, Blue Note 1550. This is another original pressing with the New York 23 label and it is also close to M- condition, based on the descriptions. The start price is also in the $500 range and so far there is only one bid.

Hank Mobley and his All Stars, Blue Note 1544. This is an original West 63rd/New York 23 pressing and looks to be in at least VG+ condition for both the record and the cover. The bidding has already surpassed $500 and there are still five days to go.

And then there are some nice Blue Notes from the Jazz Record Center, including:

Johnny Griffin, A Blowing Session, Blue Note 1559. This is an original pressing in what looks to be M- condition for both the record and the cover. The auction closes tomorrow and the bidding is now in the $1,150 range. Also, Dexter Gordon, A Swinging Affair, Blue Note 4133. This is also an original mono pressing and it also looks to be close to M- condition for the record and the cover. There is only one bid on this at $150. I’d have expected a lot more action on this great record, also featuring Sonny Clark, but perhaps the activity will occur as it often does during the last seconds of the auction.
