Jazz Vinyl, Blue Note, A Lovely Way To Start the Day

This seller has a couple of nice 10-inch Blue Notes closing soon: Lou Donaldson, New Faces, New Sounds, Blue Note 5021. This is listed as VG++ for the vinyl and VG++ for the cover. The current price is about $230.  Also: Fats Navarro Memorial Album, Blue Note 5004. This is also in VG++ condition for the record and the cover. The price is about $160. As I type this both of these have a few hours before they close.

We’ve also been watching a few other nice Blue Notes that closed in the past couple of days, including. Dexter Gordon, Our Man in Paris, Blue Note 4146. This was a New York USA pressing with the deep grooves on both sides. The cover and vinyl appeared to be in VG++ condition and the sales price was $349.

Lee Morgan, Lee Way, Blue Note 4034. This was an original pressing that was listed in VG++ condition for the vinyl and similar condition for the cover, although

the picture was a bit distorted. Not sure if the picture impacted the price, but this record sold for $538.80.

Jackie McLean, Bluesnik, Blue Note 4067. This seemed to be an original pressing that looked to be in M- condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $271. There may have been some question about the deep grooves if you look at the listing and the question posed by one potential buyer. I, for one, would have taken the chance, but $271 is still a high price tag for me after all these years of seeking bargains.

Lou Donaldson, Wailing With Lou, Blue Note 1545. This was an original West 63rd Street pressing. The record was in M- condition and the cover was VG+. The seller was Euclid Records and the price was $677.

Finally, this one did not sell: Paul Chambers Quintet, Blue Note 1564. This was an original pressing. The vinyl was M- and the cover was VG++. The start price was $750 and it did not get any bids, which surprised me and probably surprised the seller as well. I’m sure this one will make it back to eBay at some point soon.
