Michel is absolutely correct: this Mobley cover is a second version and inside you will probably find at best a non-DG red label, or a maroon one, or you name it.

That seller is claiming every Blue Note they are selling is a “1st Press”, like this Liberty:

or this New York label (which should be 47 W.63rd with no “Inc.”

If you look closely at the pictures of the label I think it was a japanese reissue. Did not look like an original label to me

@ Mike. Agreed, but this one sold for $ 239. We all have noticed that people tend to get more and more interested in “no ear” / or Liberty Blue Note pressings. Probably because Blue Note in itself is fascinating, iconic, no matter which kind of pressing or sound quality. And also because real original are out of reach. Editions that are “close to original” “look like the real deal”, or “from the same era” tend to attract more and more.

I had this one in the same edition, sold it for around 40 $ many years ago because it was not “true first”. I sincerely regret it, because i’ve never been able to pick out a NM original. And of course can’t even remember what the hell i did with those 40 $.

How about this guy selling a reissue as an original. Worse in my opinion

To be fair no one has bought the Rollins LP…so far. I’ve always found that seller’s prices to be exorbitant.

RE:”Price Gouging”-the seller writes”feelable scratches, plays with some surface noise or crackle, pretty scratched up.” In what world does anyone pay $400 to essentially NOT be able to listen to this lp? Thanks for this listing,Joseph..I needed a good laugh! As for the Mobley-“never buy a pig in a poke” is a good philosophy,whether you’re buying a hog or a “Hank”.
