David J – I think that a Blue Note completist might want this but from a jazz listener’s point of view the Blue Note 45’s that are part 1 and part 2 are like listening to an 8-track tape. I’ve bought several, mostly because of the picture sleeves, but flipping a 45 over in the middle of the song I find is impracticable. At the end of the day you’re buying a poorly edited version of a song you love.
I just wonder how Blue Note convinced RVG to edit some of his master works.

yeah, those red and green Blue Notes are kinda cool. I feel like I’ve seen a few of the red 45s on offer, though never come across one in a shop.

Changing the subject slightly to rare but more affordable records, this sold for a relatively low price considering how few of them are out there: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Soul-Jazz-45-KENNY-DORHAM-Mamacita-Pt-1-BLUE-NOTE-VG-VG-HEAR-red-wax/352121729040?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
I think only one or two of these have ever sold on eBay, and they appear to be goof-off presses from the plant. I believe there was a green vinyl Blue Note lp about a month or two ago by JRC, but I can’t find it in the auction aggregators. Is this cheap because it is a 45? I’d have thought Blue Note completists would have drooled over something like this. I believe m-/m- copies of the lp have sold for over us$400.

I was bidding on Hello Records’ VG- copy of “New Tradition” at $350 thinking “this is an insane price to pay for a VG- record and a cover with writing”. When I looked up and the price jumped to over $900 in the dying seconds I said “for fucks sake” out loud.

I love how we’re now calling nearly $1k for a VG- record sane! : )

A more sane price for a somewhat worn McLean:

Considering the McLean LP – I’m a bit confused when seeing such an enormous amount of spindle marks and still graded EX..

With Clifford and Greg here. At best I’d grab a few of the most expensive ones to pawn off, lord knows I’d need the money if my house burned down or something along those lines. No $ 5000 records here though sadly, best I have are maybe one or two dozen of say one or two hundred.

I have insurance on them though I have not tested the waters to see how well the coverage works.
