Rich — I had the record and sold it among the bunch of records I sold 25 years ago to buy a boat. Regular readers know the story. I sold the records, I bought the boat, the boat sank, some of the records I’ve never been able to replace, including The Opener. The moral of the story? Don’t sell records to buy a boat.

That copy of Change of the Century did some serious damage.

Fred’s understatement in a simple auction title like “Hank Mobley on Blue Note” makes one curious to discover which Mobley is for sale. I think it is an excellent sales ploy.

Following the thread on SOMETHING ELSE original pressing by Cannonball on Blue Note. It felt like being in a boiler room of salesmen and stock-pickers.

“Yeah, that album. It’s currently very underpriced according to its market.” “No, sir. Those buyers are just late actors, snipers really.” “But the listing is so oddly-placed, like they don’t want sellers.” And so on.

Love, Love, this site but the more talk of money, the further away is the bounce of Cannonball’s alto.

I think Fred is deliberately making his listings difficult to find–I think he only wants to sell to a select market that’s “in the know”.

that’s the way the JRC have listed records for auction forever. enough serious collectors trust them that they don’t need to expend any extra effort to draw in new bidders. watch what happens tomorrow-those records will sell and sell high-especially the curtis fuller. maybe not all time high but still very expensive..

I agree although it appears that the titles and descriptions are different for this auction vs past auctions. Maybe someone else at the JRC organized this auction?

I have a feeling part of the reason these auctions are not getting top dollar is that they have terrible titles — it’s just [artist name] on [label]. At least put the name of the album in there! Not having that in there is going to seriously lower the number of people who find what you have for sale.
