And they will continue to sit! Like I’m gonna spend $60+ on a blue label. Eat my shorts! I’ll find one – an original!

I haven’t heard this particular title so can’t say much in regards to the music. I generally don’t like off-shore jazz though. I’ld be open to hear it however.
I’ve been collecting records all my life (ok … all but 8 of them!) so I can tell you this: rarity of a record and great music don’t always mix. In fact 99.9% of the time when a record is truly rare it is because no one bought it because it wasn’t so great and so not many copies were made. There is the reciprocity component here (or the 0.1% factor) and that is IT just got missed by any mass exposure ala HANK MOBLEY BLP 1568 (!) or WALTER DAVIS BLP 4018 (!!)
I go futher. Those records are not so rare as you might expect given the price they fetch. Alfred probably pressed 1500-4000 copies as opposed to say a JAZZ MESSENGERS lp at 5000-10,000 -15,000 copies. Now, given the year it is today and how many copies were destroyed (1568 & 4018) or thrown out that leaves us with X amount of copies etc etc in X condition etc etc. Like I said here we are today! The amount is for a collector to decide!
OK … you might say that’s rare. NO. Truly rare is 25 made and 2 are known to still exist or 15 made pink vinyl copies only (maybe 20!) Or 1 VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO acetate (speaking of bad lps! oops I said it! oh well!) Private northern soul 45s etc etc ….
I guess what this leads to for me is that if I had $2500 to blow on a cool lp I would have to hear the lp first (does a cd exist? If not will one exist after someone spent that kind of dough? will the cd be legal? LOL!) I know there are a lot of other killers out there I would love to score: KENNY DREW – UNDERCURRENT / uh, … yeah …. um PINK FLOYD – PIPER (uk) / I can’t get a REDDIE FOR FREDDIE to save my life except the ones w/ no ear! I don’t think I could spend $2500 on a French lp however.
