Re: Lee Morgan.

A look through the seller’s negative feedback reveals that this record had been sold once before with negative. The seller doesn’t appear to take feedback very well.

Hmmm..sounds like a jazzy version of The Star Chamber! Al,as long as you’re dispensing justice,how about taking on the field of Republican presidential candidates? Time to trim the herd-ugh!

I like it that my comment is awaiting moderation. I envision a table in a room somewhere with a panal of moderators, all serious in appearance and somber in manner, evaluating the merits of my words.

I find it interesting that out of 197 listings, the seller of the Lee Morgan lp sold about 5. Pretty poor percentage.
And it look s like Jeff Barr of Jazzrecordscene is trying to squeeze out every dime he can these days.
Like you say Al, tape on an lp cover makes the grade much lower. VG- or less in my opinion.

Any time I see the words “no skips on my turntable” it raises a little red flag in my mind, you know?

Thank you so much for your work and congratulations for the impressive Price guide.

I was wondering abou the Louis Smith Record. Jazzrecordsscene seemed to be a honrable seller. How come, that the description of the cover as EX is…nonsense. At best! What does that tell me as a buyer for buying records through their shop?

Last but not least, Al: my comments always show up as “your comment is awaiting moderation” before they get published. It sometimes makes my comments look outdated or ‘after the fact’, since they sometimes appear long after I made them. You think you can do something about that? 😉

The seller of the Lee Morgan Sextet describes a raised edge. Fred Cohen's book says a genuine 1st pressing must have a flat edge. So I won't indeed be surprised if the buyer is disappointed. And the Louis Smith seller shoots a crystal clear front cover photo, but posts an incredibly out of focus and hazy label. Besides the fact that I'm not willing to pay so much myself; even if I had the dough, I most certainly wouldn't bid on such badly advertised material.

Always thought that Debut/Fantasy record had one of the weirdest covers ever.
I mean, Lars Gullin and Brew look like they are pasted on and what in the world is Sahib Shihab’s head doing in a bucket?
And the black attire makes them look like clergymen.

Thank you Rudolf. One of the features of the Jazz Collector Price Guide is that you can actually search the items by the date they were entered. If you click on “View the Complete List Price Guide” you can actually sort the list by a number of categories, including the date in which each item was entered.
