[…] that looked to be in M- condition for the record and probably VG+ or VG++ for the cover. When we first observed this record a few days ago, there were no bids at a start price of $200. We expected that the action would get hot and heavy […]

The Bud Powell Jazz Giant went for $483.95. I don’t know what people thought they were buying. All the selections issued on this LP were first released as 78s. I have the first six of the 12 sides and would never consider bidding on an LP.

don’t get me wrong, i love all coltrane. if he burped and it was recorded, i want that recording.

but still black pearls isn’t that rare, and way out west is quite rare, i’d say.

agree Gregory. Way out West is no comparison to Black Pearls.
IMHO the Rollins album is one of the best Rollins sessions ever, whereas Black Pearls is one of those non-distinct, canned sessions issued six years after the fact.

also, some of those JRC prices seem insane. the coltrane on prestige seems WAY too high, while the rollins seems pretty low.

any thoughts?

WHOOOOO i have gotten most of the coltrane impulses already, and am the proud owner of a beautiful NM mono copy of Africa/Brass.

Still can’t find a gloss-label version of A Love Supreme though, but I have a likely first pressing. would be great to be sure, though!

I might be interested in that Mingus, but I understand there may be sonic issues with Debut. Do I have that right?

Well that Coltrane did only have one bidder.

That Al & Zoot LP on Fred Miles is pretty neat – don’t see that one every day…
