Book’s Book, Cattin’ and Some Arts

My usual searches on eBay this week are coming up relatively bare. Just a quiet week, I suppose. We can start with a couple of Prestiges: Booker Ervin, The Song Book, Prestige 7318. This is a personal favorite of mine, Booker playing all standards and playing them quite well. This is an original yellow label pressing. The record and cover are both listed in VG+ condition. The start price is $200, the auction closes in seven days, and so far there are no bids. You can buy it now for $260. This record has sold for more than $300 several times in the past, although I would presume in better condition. This is another Prestige, sort of: Cattin’ With John Coltrane and Paul Quinichette, Esquire 32-101. This looks to be an original U.K. pressing, probably in VG+ condition for the record and the cover.  More than three days left on the auction and so far no bids at about $180.
Here’s one that actually has bids: Art Taylor, AT’s Delight, Blue Note 4047. This looks to be an original deep-groove West 63rd Street pressing, review copy. The record and cover are both listed in VG++ condition. Bidding is at just $83, but there are more than four days left on the auction.  Here’s one more we were watching last week: The Return of Art Pepper, Jazz West JWLP-10. This was an original pressing listed in VG+ condition for the record and the cover. The final price was $533.78.
