On eBay: Warhol, Burrell, Byrd on Transition
Here are some records we’re watching on eBay:
Kenny Burrell, Blue Lights Volume 1, Blue Note 1596. This is an original pressing with the West 63rd Street label and the Andy Warhol cover. It looks to be in very nice condition, listed as EX+ by the seller. By the way, how do you interpret Ex+ — I think of it is as less than Mint and better than VG+? Anyway, this one is EX+ and is currently priced at about $350 with a few hours left. Here’s another one from the same seller: Sonny Clark, Sonny’s Crib, Blue Note 1576. This one has the West 63rd Street address but it does not have the deep grooves. The vinyl is listed as M- and the cover is listed in EX condition — what is that,
VG+? — and the current price is close to $300. If you click either of these records, you should look at the seller’s other items. There are some nice records there, some closing today, some closing later in the week.
We’ve also got an eye on this one: Donald Byrd, Byrd’s Eye View, Transition 4. This is an original pressing. It looks to be in VG condition and it doesn’t have the booklet. The dealer has a start price of $125 and so far there are no takers. If it were a Blue Note in this condition, there would be bids, right?
