A Few More Blue Notes For the $1,000 Bin

The $1,000 jazz vinyl bin got a little bit more crowded over the weekend. Here are some of the additions: Clifford Jordan, Cliff Craft, Blue Note 1582. This was an original pressing that was listed in EX+ condition, which we translate into what we would describe as VG++. This one was among the nice batch sold by the seller JazzRecordRevival, which did quite nicely with its bit auction. This one sold for $1,273.

Sonny Clark, Cool Struttin’, Blue Note 1588, enters the $1,000 bin once again. This was a copy in VG+ condition for both the record and the vinyl. It sold for $1,548. For a

very rare record, it seems to come up fairly frequently on eBay, or perhaps we just notice it because the prices are always so high.

Then there is this: Freddie Hubbard, Open Sesame, Blue Note 4040. This was an original pressing that looked to be VG++ for the vinyl and VG+ for the cover. This one sold for $1,025.
