Al/anyone – having trouble with the “contact” submission form? It just spins and never completes.

Until last year I owned a very nice VG+ copy of In Action that I bought from a dealer in @ 2015 for $1200. A collector offered me $6K for it, and I sold it, allowing me to buy a ton of new LP: and some new equipment to boot. I have no regrets.

Speaking of sales on that Japanese site. For Blue Note titles, there are number of sellers that do not disclose they are selling reissues, specially reissues from Japan From the Master Tapes, where the labels look just like the originals. There is one seller (not from Japan) on eBay who has been called out a few times to cancel his auctions for doing this.

Original 1st issues of 1536 (flat rim, frame cover, RVG etched, deep grooves, Lex address on lables and back slick) has the ”ear” or Plastylite ” P” only on side 2. It is not unusual for these early Blue Note pressings to miss the ”P” one one side.

Thanks, Aaron. Link should be fixed. Also, FYI, I’m aware that the Blue Note link is pretty useless in terms of providing information. Maybe someone out there can find a better one for that listing, if it exists.

That J.R. Monterose has the hallmarks of an original pressing, ie. a frame cover and flat edge. The listing reads to me like it has RVG but only the ear on side 2.

PS – Al, the link to In Action takes us to the J.R. Monterose auction.
