Ahhhh the joy’s of buying records on ebay… Remember that “bargain” Eminent J.J.- Vol.1 LP I picked up for +$85 back in January ? Well, it just arrived today, and guess what Al, you were right !

The LP was not a DG as posted… To make matters worse, it wasn’t even a Lexington on both sides of the LP !!! Side two was a Blue Note Records – 47 West 63rd New York 23 ! …On a positive note, the record itself is a nice heavy vinyl, great condition and the LP cover was a Lexington. Who knows, maybe it will come in handy someday. Ya’ win some, ya’ loose some right.

…Al, that $1000 copy of yours is starting to look pretty good right about now !

…I am still in shock that people would pay these kinds of prices and still have a roof over their heads ! (Those Wall Street bonuses must have been bigger than they let on !)

Honestly, most collectors out there can find a half-decent copy of these original pressings at a reasonable price if they are patient… I picked up an original press of The Eminent JJ -Vol.1 in +VG condition for around $85 back in January. Although this may have been an isolated incident as I was probably the only serious bidder at the time. Never-the-less, you guys know as well as I do it’s a numbers game out there, and luck was certainly a lady that afternoon !

I have two Lexington Avenue pressings of the JJ records. Both records are M-, both covers are VG+, very nice. I’d sell each for $1,000 right now. If anyone is interested, feel free to send me an email. Seriously.

I guess this explains to me why the burrell record I was watching went for more when it was relisted. It looks like there were a few Bank of America executives bidding.
Al if you put up the link to the jay jay johnson volume 1, you’ll see that one had a 43 west 61st cover on it. I told myself I would be willing to spend 125 on that one.
