Catching Up: Dex & A Few For the $1,000 Bin

Time to catch up on a few more jazz vinyl collectibles, including a few more for the $1,000 bin:

Dexter Gordon Quintet, Dial 204. This was an original 10-inch pressing. The record and the cover were both listed in VG+ condition. The price was about $240. I love these original 10-inch Dials, and the price on this one seemed pretty fair. But, alas, I was not a bidder.  Also from Dexter was this: Dexter Gordon, Dexter Rides Again, Savoy 12130. This was an original pressing with the deep groove and the red labels. The seller listed it in M- condition for both the record and the cover. The price was $69.

For the $1,000 bin there were these:

Roland Kirk, Triple Threat, King 539. This was an original pressing. The vinyl was graded in M- condition and the cover was listed as VG+.  The price was $1,750, which is the highest we’ve seen for this record. Actually, this is the first time will be adding this record to the Jazz Collector Price Guide and, honestly, I can’t say I recall ever seeing a live copy of this one before.

Kenny Dorham, Quiet Kenny, Prestige New Jazz 8225. This was an original pressing that looked to be in VG++ condition for both the record and the cover. This one sold for $1,225. A similar copy sold for the exact same price a few months ago, as recorded in the Jazz Collector Price Guide.

The Return of Art Pepper, Jazz West 10. This was an original pressing that appeared to be unplayed, according to the seller. The cover looked to be about VG+. The price was $1,155.55.

Finally, we were also watching this one and had referred to it earlier: Hank Mobley and Lee Morgan, Peckin’ Time, Blue Note 1574. This was an original pressing. The vinyl was listed as M- and the cover as VG+. The price was $1,807.
