I don’t think I’ve ever seen a jazz LP sell for nearly this much.

It came from a unique source: the unplayed store stock accumulated by a drummer who, since the WW II era, had made a living playing along with records at venues ranging from USO shows to senior citizen centers. Stored in his three-storey tenement home were — no exaggeration — nearly 50,000 78’s in their original shipping boxes, 3,000 LPs (10- and 12-inch; roughly 20% jazz) , plus antique music boxes, assorted ephemera, and even a console AM radio/wire recorder/turntable on which one could record directly from radio to wire. My two partners and I got first pick of the LPs and did very, very well when we brought them to auction. Plus each of us made sigificant additions to our respective collections. “Indeed” — unplayed and pristine in terms of record and frame jacket — ended up on my shelves (next to another, not-quite-as-fine original), as did museum-quality copies of “Saxophone Collosus,” “J.R. Monterose” (BN), Mobley’s Prestige 1st and 2nd “Messages”, “Cool Struttin’,” assorted Norgrans, Clefs and Verves, Riversides, and dozens of 10″ Blue Notes (including the Foster and, with booklet, Dorham’s “Afro-Cuban”) and other beauties.
Back to the Morgan: I auctioned my personal copy on eBay. It sold for the then-and-now princely sum of $2,700 to a renowned NYC-based collector and erstwhile historian of Blue Notes. He told me that he already owned more than one “perfect” copy of the LP, but that equally fine gakubushi frame jackets had, to that point, eluded him.
Buyer and seller were satisfied.

Blue Note for their 12″ program had no control anymore of leased sessions, therefore I took them out when analyzing the really “lost” sessions.

For détails of “lost” Blue Note sessions, see appendix one of my study. Other labels covered: Prestige, Riverside, Pacific Jazz, Contemporary, Nocturne, Kenton Présents Jazz.

LondonJazzCollector was kind enough to publish it: see under gallery on the opening page, andscroll down to Oct. 11, 2015 “The transition from 10″ to 12″ LP and the lost recordings.”
The Frank Foster is one of those lost sessions.
