Thankfully the CD format made a lot of long awaited reissues possible! For Gil Mellé we have this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Blue-Recordings-Herbie-Nichols/dp/B000005HAC -Not vinyl, but still it’s all there including bonus cuts! These discs must include all of the previously released 10? material I think, or not?

thanks Al. I have the 10″ original and am not into Japanese re-issues. When I say “never re-issued”, I meant on regular 12″ Blue Note, like the three Art Blakey qnt at Birdland, with Clifford, on two 12″ 1521/1522 or the two ten inchers of the Horace Silver qnt on one 12″ BLP 1518.
Btw, the two Herbie Nichols ten inchers made it never to 12″, like the beautiful Gil Melles, four in total, I believe. What a shame.

Well, I was wrong. Turns out the seller was smart to set the price that high on the mobley 10″. You know what they say, “To bet against a bull market you either have to be really stupid or really smart”.

Hello
For you young collectors 30 years from now this Mobley will be selling for 6 figures and you’ll be saying I remember when it sold for $3.000.

I know that, but why would you keep raising it if no one else had bid yet?

I think that’s what happens when you keep raising your max bid.

Minimum met on the Mobley 10″. The bidder seems to really want it and has put 4 bids in. Is this to ward off other bidders?

Just to throw my hat in, I don’t think this mobley will get any bids. I would have predicted it would end up somewhere around 1.5-2K but at this starting point I don’t think it will recieve bids, The music on here is nice, and I’d love to have this copy. I put on the mosaic discs when I got to work and I can say that while this is a good session I don’t like it as much as his sessions from 1-2 years later.
