@Bill : I checked pretty good. I’m sure it was a different album.

Wait! Isn’t that the same picture? Same description? Is it the same record? Re-upped after the shill was the high bid and a 2nd chance offer didn’t work? Just asking.

Even Bob couldn’t strike gold twice, but still a high price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/350554155197?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_5239wt_933

the BLP 1595 second pressing we discussed here at length was sold by our friend for 256 dollars. Not the top price of a first pressing of over one thousand. So people are aware of the intricacies of Blue Note collectiong, with or without Fred’s guide..

The MGV pressings all have Deep Groove. I always assumed that only the earlier MGM pressings had Deep Groove, but I do not no this for sure. Maybe someone else can clarify.

@elix: it’s hard simply to say the copy is “third pressing” – as you may know major labels (such as RCA Victor & Columbia) and “big minor” labels (such as Capitol and Mercury) had several plants, and an album might be pressed two distinctive plants at the same period. Furthermore, although they have their own plants, they asked other companies’ plants to press some of them when their own plants were very busy. Mercury often asked Columbia to press some of their releases (other than that, Mercury passed some of their titles to Columbia as “Columbia Record Club” releases). In the “Cannonball in Chicago” case, Merc’s Richmond pressings (S1, S2) and Columbia pressings (S3) might be pressed and released around at the same period. But the Richmod pressing sounds better than the Columbia pressing for sure, so I can say at least the Bobdjukic’s copy is NOT the ‘original’ copy.

About rather crazy bids on Bobdjukic’s listings – I can’t say anything but “Hey people, let’s settle down, relax, and place your bid” 🙂

@Nogran Afficionado: Is it true, that a DG would be indicative of an original pressing. I always thought, that old Verve records should have DG while the newer ones can have DG, which indicates, that they’ve been pressed on the Westside of the US, rather than the Eastside.
Can anyone confirm?

The Getz/Gilbert record was not even Deep Groove. So it’s not the original first pressing as stated in the item description. I simply cannot understand who would pay $361 for this record.

Well, all I can say he sure has some, let’s say, unusually loyal customers.
