Comments on: Two for The $1,000 Bin, Plus Two More https://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/two-for-the-1000-bin-plus-two-more/ For those who love jazz Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:28:19 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Rudolf https://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/two-for-the-1000-bin-plus-two-more/comment-page-1/#comment-364717 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 19:28:19 +0000 http://jazzcollector.com/?p=6453#comment-364717 Earl: you are right regarding the better treatment of 12″ albums: as far as I know, all US 10″ albums originally came without inner sleeves. So there is a real risk of abrasures (sleeve marks) and dirt incrusted in the grooves. I noted less interest lately in 10″ albums. So there are some real bargains to be found in the market.
I did away with my 12″ copies of Miles, J.J. and Bud Powell in the early 1500-series, just keeping the original 10″ issues. But I keep 1521/1522 for sentimental reasons, although my 5037-39 are faultless.

Personally, I have always preferred the first printing of a 12″ album over its previous release as a 10″ – they are undoubtedly more practical (getting up less often to change them), and IMO generally better sounding – hard to say for sure whether this is because they were overall better treated (e.g., better styli available by then). I also believe that most collectors have no problem referring to the 12 incher as an ooriginal pressing.

Alongside this item, several others Blue Note were on sale: I saw nice Curtis Fuller and Horace Parlan on BN 47/63, always for top prices. Best regards to you all

The original three 10″ LP albums were re-issued on two 12 inchers. By the way, # 1522 was the first 12″ album I ever bought in my life, somewhere around 1957. All the previous ones were 10″.

i hope such bargains can still be had when i am out of graduate school!
