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.
