Can anyone say anything about the condition of the manusardi1 lps with respect to how you’d expect them compared to the description? I’ve never purchased from him (her?) but I’ve thought about it many times. Anyone have thoughts they’d be willing to share here?

I got a copy of the Roland Alexander record in a lot purchase, but if I was buying it alone would go up to maybe $75-100… $300 seems out of proportion.

Yeah, I got one of the Alexanders for $50 not long ago as well. It’s a nice record indeed.

I had an opportunity to purchase the Roland Alexander on New Jazz a few years back for $20.00 from a friend. He let me take it home for a spin, and after listening I decided to pass, it was in beautiful condition, but it just didn’t really do anything for me musically. With the new price tag, maybe I should have handed over the Andrew Jackson!

Khan Jamal’s Infinity is a nice modal-spiritual jazz record. It was recognized when the reissue was released, and now prices of the originals are because of its rarity.
Also, there are only 20 mono pressings of Real McCoy listed on popsike. The price ranges from 51 to 406 USD with a median of 117 USD.

The Liberty mono pressings were pressed in limited numbers primarily for AM Radio stations and reviewers. That’s why it’s hard to find a Mono copy without the “Audition Only” stamp on back.

I guess mono Libertys are rarer than stereo and regardless of how the BN are recorded – mono is “King” (and regarded as more original).

not surprised at the Lateef, it’s a wonderful record. I haven’t seen many around for years.
The Mono Liberty do seem to command much bigger corn than the stereos. Not sure why TBH!

It seems like the big $$$ is only for mono Libertys. Correct?
