There is a special place in hell for sellers that “come into” a collection of music that they know nothing about-except that they want to get as much dinero as possible. That aside,I hope you and yours remain safe(and on the mend). And,of course,”wear a mask”.

[…] seemed to be that this was a Liberty pressing using older labels. When we spotted the record on Jazz Collector the bidding was in the $85 range. It wound up selling for $233.28. I have one of similar vintage […]

Al: congrats on your antibodies. That must be a comfortable feeling.
Re the Nichols. I have had a LEX/LEX non DG label 1519 with protective rim. The sleeve had the LEX adress, but was not frame/kakubuchi. A hybrid creature supplied to me directly by Blue Note around 1965. I am not sure if there was an ear. I sold it when an original came around.

The Hank Jones seller has an Ebay store full of records with nutty prices

Yes, it seems the buyer had second thoughts on that Hank Jones. I wonder why? It was up for 6 months as a BIN, the first time. I’ll bet it’s there longer this time. Al, I’m happy to hear you are well. I hope everybody is well and staying safe. To paraphrase an old Chinese saying (or curse) we live in interesting times.

The Herbie Nichols doesn’t have the ear and no DG. I have the same pressing, it also has NY labels and RVG in the runout. Definitely an early Liberty, which doesn’t pop up often of this title. The sound is fantastic and I’m very happy with my copy.

There’s no “ear” or deep groove mentioned for the Herbie Nichols. His other out-of-focus label images show a deep groove pretty distinctly and I don’t see that here so my guess would be a very early Liberty issue.

GTF, it shows there was only one bid and a start price of $2500. I’m willing to bet no money was ever exchanged.

The Hank Jones seller has relisted the lp again….hard to believe it didn’t sell for $2500 the first time around:’)

Hi Al—

I wrote to the seller about the Herbie Nichols LP. While it does have RVG and 9M in the run-out, there is no ear. I have one like this with the same markings, and no deep groove, but with Lexington Ave labels. I showed it to Fred Cohen and he thought it was likely an early Liberty pressing, using old stock labels. I think that’s the case with the one on auction now too. Sounds nice, beats the the later UA pressing.

Hope you’re doing okay—probably a lot more of us carrying the antibodies than anyone knows…

James
