Yes GST that’s right. I have a mint Bell Sound stereo abc paramount copy of “ballads” and a VG-VG+ mono AMPAR copy with van gelder.

manusardi1 has had some really nice stuff out there recently, although it’s my understanding this Coltrane Ballads is actually a second pressing (first should read AM-PAR on label per LJC):

Clifford and Doug, I was the winner of the Perry Robinson. I just kind of went with my instincts on that one. Wasn’t familiar with it, but love Savoy as a label, and the cover art by Harvey is top shelf.

I have a 80s reissue of the Perry Robinson Savoy that I bought sealed for $4 around 20 years ago. One day an original would be nice but I’m not chasing it…

The Perry Robinson record from the JRC auction is one that has proven difficult for me to track down and so I bid $151 for it and still came up short.

Yes, “Wahoo” is a top album. Duke Pearson tunes, Joe Henderson in his pomp, what’s not to like?

They might not be “insanely” collectable but the music on Wahoo and JuJu is top notch!
Worth having in the collection in any edition I’d say..

Great cover on the Perry Robinson btw, not a cut i’m familiar with..Cover sort of Sun Ra ish…

@TFL, nope, but linked from that listing was this Sonny Clark’s “Crib” http://ebay.to/2i7vQZb listed in NM for the vinyl (though the spotty labels give me pause), and an “almost like new” cover that while surely nice isn’t without its flaws. One to keep an eye on.

Geoffrey – I don’t need NM records (heck I’ll even buy second pressings or reissues if I find them at a brick and mortar shop), but when I’m paying e-bay prices I’m more picky. I do however like your thought process on remembering the successful purchases. It’s become my new year’s resolution 🙂
