Vinyl Tracking From the Jazz Record Center

Here are a few more results of jazz vinyl auctions by the Jazz Record Center last week. Just in case anyone is interested, I have no vested interest in these auctions or special relationship with the Jazz Record Center. I like to watch their auctions as a bellwether because they are probably the most reputable seller in the market.

Working With the Miles Davis Quintet, Prestige 7166. This was an original yellow label pressing with the New Jersey address. It was a review copy in mint condition. The price was $472.35. There was a time when you could get the Miles Prestige records relatively inexpensively, but not anymore.

Here’s another nice one from Prestige: Stan Getz and Zoot Sims, The Brothers, Prestige 7022. This was an original New York yellow label pressing in M- condition for the record and probably VG++ for the cover. This one has the frame cover. The price was $234.72. How often are you going to find a record like this in this kind of condition? Nice.

Here’s a Blue Note that, surprisingly, did not break into the $1,000 bin.

John Jenkins and Kenny Burrell, Blue Note 1573. This was an original pressing and it was in near mint condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $884.

I had an eye on this because I have a duplicate copy I may be looking to sell or trade: The Fabulous Fats Navarro Volume 1, Blue Note 1531. This was an original Lexington Avenue pressing with an original Lexington Avenue frame cover. The record looked to be in M- condition and the cover was probably VG++. The price was $382. Actually, not only do I have a duplicate copy of Volume 1, I have a duplicate copy of Volume 2 as well.
