Pablo, collecting vinyl is like anything else in life. It’s about the pleasure you derive from it. There are more vinyl hunters who dig through bins at flee markets looking for gems than people who spend $5k on M- Blue Notes. Many of them are extremely happy when they pay a dollar for a VG+ Zoot Sims album that would cost $50 on eBay. Looking at records like this being sold, this buyer got a beauty but didn’t really get a deal. They paid market value. I remember the stories on the records I paid less than market value for, and enjoyed acquiring them much more than the ones I paid market value for on eBay.

Dear All,

As a collegue student on a budget; and relatively new to the world of jazz, I have come to the conclusion that collecting original vinyl is only for the rich and famous (the Clint Eastwoods of the world). How can someone, in todays economy, afford to pay $4,617.00 for BN 1568?. I bought a sealed re-issue for only $11.00; and in my Debut III turntable (and to my ears) it sounds just fine.

i m wondering whether the reserve price will be reached or not. I’ve the feeling that this reserve price is a little too much for the actual condition of the cover…Lets see…

Mouthwatering pieces and ah… there he is again: the Mobley 1568.

Some of the labels on these copies look so flawless that for a second the bad person in me thought that they must be from that one Japanese studio that replicates o.g. Blue Notes complete with deep groove etcetera…

It’s about time I win the lottery 😉
