This is a Burt Goldblatt cover. I own a copy and it says ‘goldblatt’ on the fold-over back edge…

Its a nice record too!

…but when he describes, for instance, the recent copy he sold of Out To Lunch (for $356!) as “THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE…” when it doesn’t have the ear (& I wrote and asked to make sure) then surely that is wrong & misleading.

…I’ll admit I have tossed a few in our “friend” Bob’s general direction in past, but ’tis all in good fun, really !

Giant Steps went for over 2000. There is a lot of Djukic bashing on this site. I have no experience with the guy. His way of presenting the albums does not appeal to me, on the contrary, it puts me off. But apparently it works and one cannot reasonably blame him.

That’s not a buy it now price. Sorry. That’s where the bidding is and it has surpassed the reserve price.

…You can’t blame Bob for trying right. He does put a lot of effort into those postings, and there is a sort of marketing genius in there somewhere. Although, I recall getting burnt when I first started collecting on a sealed LP. It was a copy of John Coltrane’s Blue Train, turned out to be a New York pressing… The fact that it was sealed was the “tell” & biggest rookie mistake at the time. Live & learn right !

I’m Reasonably certain (©Bob Djukic), that that this IS a Burt Goldblatt cover. It has exactly the same style as John Kirby cover on Columbia. But im also reasonnably certain (©Bob Djukic) that, as in many other phony litings, mr. Bob is, as ususal, trying to get the more money possible from unknowledgeable millionnaires

my vote’s with Goldblatt. birkajazz.com credits him for this one under their Atlantic page. The line has his cleaner more muscular quality – as opposed to DSM’s rough quill.
