The Blue Notes Keep Coming . . . And Going

Missed this one from last week: Lee Morgan, Indeed, Blue Note 1538. This was an original Lexington Avenue pressing that looked to be in VG++ condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $2,142.01. Wow. Quite a significant price tag for that, although we’ve seen it get even more than that several times in the Jazz Collector Price Guide, topping out at $2,927.

I think I missed this one as well: Sabu, Palo Congo, Blue Note 1561. This looked like an original pressing. The record was in M- condition and the cover was VG+.The top bid was more than $400, but it failed to meet the seller’s reserve price. Not surprising that the reserve was higher than that. We saw a copy of this sell for more than $800 just a few months ago. Another one I’ve never owned, but not one I’d place on my want list. Too many other records I’d prefer.

  • I sold my mint Sabu for a round $ 1000 a while ago.
    The music is a-typical and, though interesting in itself, the album had to go, since my slimming down program is still on.

  • Well, Rudolf, if you’re still slimming down please feel free to contact The Lovely Mrs. JC. 🙂

  • Al: in my slimming down process, which I started more than seven years ago, I started with my double Blue Notes and later single BLP copies and still later on with the other labels. That was a very unwise decision.
