Updating the $1,000 Jazz Vinyl Bin
Here are some nice additions to the $1,000 bind of the Jazz Collector Price Guide:
This is part of that nice batch of British Tempo LPs: Jimmy Deuchar, Pal Jimmy, Tempo TAP 20. This one was in VG+ condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $1,802.77. Frankly, I’ve never heard of Jimmy Deuchar, but I imagine it is the presence of Tubby Hayes that defines the real value of this record. There’s a nice picture on the cover with Tubby looking . . . well . . . just a little bit tubby.
Hank Mobley Quintet, Blue Note 1550. This was an almost original — NY 23 just on side 2? — and was in M- condition, part of the beautiful batch of records recently sold by Jazz 5060/Music Matters. It sold for $1,691.55.
Cannonball Adderley, Somethin’ Else, Blue Note 1595. This looked to be an original pressing in M- condition for the record and probably VG++ condition for the cover. It sold for $1,136.11.
Pub Crawling, issued in the US on Contemporary, is a fine and affordable place to start with Jimmy Deuchar – one of the UK’s great trumpeters. Those original Tempos are cool; I’ve sufficed with Jasmine reissues for many years, but… maybe someday they’ll get upgraded.
