[…] $9,000-plus sale from December 2022 as found at Gripsweat? We’ve written about that one before, Free Jazz (And More) at a Price. Per Clifford on that earlier post, no more than 100 copies of this record were produced. Anyway, […]

I would like to buy a copy of the Graves/Pullen Yale concert (part 1) either plain golden cover or with hand-painted artwork. Hit me up if you find one or are interested in selling.

I won the auction on the Lee Morgan Indeed record.

It is an original Lex w/ frame cover, and your grading assessment is accurate (though happily the vinyl itself plays great, better than VG). A very enjoyable listen.

I may have paid a bit too much for this copy! I don’t see them come up too often and I’ve been looking for some time (can’t afford/spend $4-$6k for a really nice copy) and, at least IME it is a hard record to find in my price range.

Anyway, it found a good home…

Interesting — in the course of working with the exhibition/s on Graves the number I was given was a lot smaller (albeit coming from Graves, who might not have remembered exact data).

I too have the Pulled-Graves, purchased in the 70’s. Indeed, I once owned two copies. (I know, I know)
I was told by a reliable source that the number of copies is closer to two hundred than one hundred. I also owned the second pressing as well as “Nommo”- equally rare, equally exquisite music from the same concert but, without the fab cover, it goes for a much saner price. Well, not sane, but not $9,000.

I too have the Pullen-Graves. Purchased it in the 80’s. I once had two copies. (I know, I know) I have always heard there were under a hundred copies however I once heard that number is much closer to two hundred.

I have a copy of Graves/Pullen complete with carbon copies. Found outside of Toronto for $30 in VG++ condition. Think it is time to sell!

Yes, it’s a beautiful documentary. Feel very lucky to see him play quite a bit between the late ’90s and his ascension.

Watch the Milford Graves documentary on Netflix. The cat was far-out.
