Right on elbee! Does the record sound better than a non 23 label?

Good discussion, I think we all love bobs ebay auctions though, good on him, I got an etta James from bob recently and the packaging was the best but ebay accuracy in general needs to be policed, especially with jazz titles. I just got a most beautiful blue train original for $170, near mint and just gorgeous, reminds me why I collect records and love jazz, it’s the ultimate 20th c artefact. But does someone know when the stereo was released? Such a massive price discrepancy bw mono and stereo, I’m so happy to get an original of either. And we’re all stereo issues with the ‘R’ label?
Cheers from oz!

Elbee — congratulations. I’m sure it’s thrilling to look on your shelves and see these beautiful original pressings. Even more thrilling when you put them on the turntable.

I’m the buyer for the Blue Train 1577 and it’s a gorgeous record. Much nicer than the pictures suggested and plays beautifully. I’ve got a number of later pressings of this beauty in my collection, with and without the “R” and with and without a deep groove label.

This is the only NY23 that I’ve been able to find in this condition after nearly four years of searching so even if the price was a bit steep, I’d rather sleep well at night knowing that I got it as opposed to loosing sleep knowing that I missed it for a few hundred dollars and wait another four or five years for it to show up again.

All of the NY23’s are classic cuts for hard bop fans, and the Trane, as well as the Mobleys and Morgans are just incredible to listen to and a pleasure to have.

That OJC for $200+ is the height of idiocy.
