On eBay: Lee Morgan, Webster Young, Andy Warhol
The seller Jazzhound, who is apparently local to me but whom I don’t know, has been selling some nice items on eBay, including: Lee Morgan, The Cooker, Blue Note 1578. This was an original pressing and the vinyl was in M- condition and the cover was VG++ and the price was only $565.33. Did I say only $565.33? Yes I did. It just seems that this record should be selling for more money, even though this is the highest price we’ve ever recorded for the Jazz Collector Price Guide. The same seller has a few more nice rarities selling this week, including: Webster Young, For Lady, Prestige 7106. This is an original pressing with the New York label and it is a fine album, indeed. This copy is in M- condition for both the vinyl and the cover and it is currently at around $500. And this is one that features a cover design by Andy Warhol:
The Story of Moondog, Prestige 7099. This one is also in M- condition for both the record and the cover and the price is about $430. The listing doesn’t mention the Warhol cover, but people know, right? I mean it’s a lot of money for a record by Moondog, isn’t it?
from description: cover is vg++. cover has some chipping and flaking upper left corner and lower right corner. Beginning of split middle top seam.
That doesnt sound vg++ to me.
according to Popsike website nm/nm copies have sold for as much as 1k and more so price was about right.
This MOONDOG record is very, very rare in this condition. I’m a big fan – I would expect this record to skyrocket as the bidding closes.
