Catching Up On Some Sweet Blue Notes

Here are a few more Blue Note 1500-series beauties we’ve been watching:

This one goes into the $1,000 bin: Lou Donaldson, Quartet, Quintet, Sextet, Blue Note 1537. This was an original Lexington Avenue pressing that was in M- condition all the way around. A real beauty. It sold for $1,880.55.

Lee Morgan, City Lights, Blue Note 1575. This was an original pressing. The vinyl was listed as VG++ and the cover was listed as VG+. The price was $850 and it had nearly 200 page views, which means a lot of people were at least considering a bid. I know I was.

Paul Chambers, Bass on Top, Blue Note 1569. This was also an original pressing, although the listing was a little weird, advertising it as Bone and Bari, the Curtis Fuller LP. Nonetheless, whatever record this turns out to be it was listed in VG++ condition and it sold for $790.

Johnny Griffin, A Blowing Session, Blue Note 1559. This was an original pressing that seemed to be in VG++ condition for the record and the cover. The price was $789.

Cliff Jordan and John Gilmore, Blowing in From Chicago, Blue Note 1549. This was an original pressing and it was sold by Academy LPs in New York. It looked to be VG+ condition, although the listing hedged a little and edged it towards VG++. The price was $733.

Hank Mobley and His All Stars, Blue Note 1544. This was an original pressing with the West 63rd Street address. The record was listed in M- and the cover was listed as VG++. The price was $680.
