Maybe this is not the correct website to post this.But here goes.And although this blog is for purchasing vinyl records.I have noticed that,some records are in mint condition and some are not.And a few are signed by the artist.Or someone who was closely associated with them.Or had a story to tell.That may or may not enhance to value of an l.p..I wish i had albums from my late uncle Duke Pearson.I did many years ago.But they were destroyed by mistake by someone else,not me.But what i do have is his personal papers.That i have preserved since his passing august 4,1980.And some never before seen and heard before pics and reel to reels.(Dont know whats on the reels.Could just be some out takes or something.)Which include original session notes.Liner notes.Pictures.Reel to Reels.News paper and magazine articles.Autographs from the likes of Donald Byrd.Lee Morgan.Wynton Kelly.Stanley Turrinetine.Flora Purim.Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff.Macoy Tyner and others Also other gems for the avid memorabilia collector.Its a must see and a must have.(Sorry not pics will be sent) If anyone interested please contact me via email.This is the real deal.Duke Pearson was my uncle.My mothers ony brother.Shes the only living relative from his immediate family.Contact information is available from email.Have held on to collection far too long.And really have been hesitant to part with it.Dont even know what collection might be worth.But its priceless to me.Unfortunately,its time to let it go.Go to someone who would appreciate it as much as i do and have all these years.And can do more with it than ive been able to.

The Dr. Wong lps have been auctioned in alphabetical order. They’re now on W and several Walter Wanderley lps have been listed. Wanderley lps sell on an average of $7 to $12. I can’t imagine any of these selling for more than $30 or $35. If Wanderley lps sell for over $100, that would be the explanation point on this Dr. Wong madness.

Michel, I think this is mostly about it being a ‘feeding frenzy’ than a paradigm shift in the market toward middle-age hipsters (which, in all fairness, some older collectors might put me in the category of…though I’m definitely not shopping in Paris with cash overflowing from my pockets 😉

Like much of the artwork sold in the fine art world, these jazz records are a great place for money laundering. Not saying that’s the case here but think about it…..

I think there is a new generation of collectors arriving. You can see them in Paris record stores : they are 30/40 years old, educated hipsters, they think jazz vinyl and jazz covers are hype, they have money, they are building the collection, and they are not completely experts (as we are :-)). So they bid or buy with confidence , even for second or second press. The demand is growing, and even in stores you can find VG+ later Atlantic or Impulse at 50 or 60 euros, Liberty Blue Note at 100 / 150 euros. This could be an explanation to the Wong phenomenon.

devastated i lost the 1 lp i was interested in since the day i hear Wong died….his Charisma test press that bn sent him to do the liner notes for. it was 9 sec left at 4 bids at 34 dollars, i bid 120 and it was immediately rejected w/ my next bid option being 167 and some guy won it for 166. That 500 dollar right touch, i completely am baffled by that, ive seen sealed copies of that go for 50 (last few yrs). anyways, its not the end of the world, but i would of really liked to have been the one to hold on to the 1st copy of Charisma, pound for pound prob my favorite BN date. sure i should of bid more, but its a lot of money

I don’t even know why I’m watching that copy of Sahib Shihab “Summer Dawn” – it’ll probably go for $700.
