Mattyman, I think I recall that from Miles Davis’ autobiography.

Lee Morgan’s Candy is another wish list album for me. Have to do with the CD for now. Morgan’s rendition of Jimmy Heath’s “C.T.A.” I think is superb.

And while we’re at it, who can confirm this quote: “Miles Davis said that Jimmy Heath named it after the best parts of a woman or the train line that ran between his hometown of Philly and either NY or NJ.”??

I found by lucky incident the Rollins BN 1542 on the Amsterdam recordfaire in the original Lexington pressing for 25 euro(30 dollar).The condition was VG for cover and record.,so it was a bargain.I can confirm that the Lexington sounds far better than the later issues.

Candy has always been at the top of my list. I’d love to even have a player copy, but alas they always skyrocket in the end. Someday…

…I am just watching the auction for the BN 1542 close on eBay at the moment, and it seems there may be a “ghost bidder” helping the seller inflate the price on this one. Personally, I would rather these guys just put a reserve bid down then pull the proverbial strings behind the curtain by bidding us up with an alias.
