Today on Ebay, February 6, 2009
Here are some of the interesting items we are watching today at Jazz Collector:
Here’s one from a seller who has a zero rating on eBay: Jackie McLean, Jackie’s Bag, Blue Note 4051. This is an original pressing in VG+ condition, both record and cover. The current price is $285, which is pretty high considering the lack of information about the seller.
Here’s a personal favorite, with the original cover that Blue Note changed after the first issue: Art Blakey, A Night At Birdland Volume 2, Blue Note 1522. This is an original Lexington Avenue pressing. The record is listed as VG++ and the cover is VG. The current price is about $110.
Also, Yusef Lateef, Before Dawn, Verve 8217. This is an original pressing with the trumpeter logo. The record is listed in VG++ condition and the cover is VG. The current price is $68.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, there’s this:
Donald Byrd, Byrd in Hand, Blue Note 4019. This is an original West 63rd Street pressing. The record is listed in M- condition and the cover is VG++. The current price is about $50, but that should change since there’s still almost one more day before it closes.
That Donald Byrd seems to be a Liberty reissue. Not an original pressing. No deep groove despite being pre-4060 catalog number, no plastylite (ear) mark in deadwax, etc.
