Well, At Least It’s Original
Here’s a guy looking to retire: Horace Silver, Blowin’ The Blues Away, Blue Note 4017. It’s an original press and it’s in VG++ condition. The start price is $7,500. Imagine if it was mint.

…Damn !!! If anyone is interested, I’ve got a copy without all the seam splits that I would let go for $6000 ! (heh heh heh) Perhaps they meant to post it for $75.00 and forgot the decimal, as it really doesn’t look like they put much effort into their posting to begin with. Let this be a lesson for all you aspiring “Nautiluso’s” out there… For $7,500 I would expect a bit more flair, a convincing sales pitch and some decent photos at very least ! Where is the love ? This used to be about the music !!!
…but is it (original) though? Aren’t there supposed to be copies without the ‘Inc’ & ‘R’?
I don’t think so. I bought mine when it was issued in 1959. It has Inc and R. The highest catalogue number I have without Inc and R is 4006.
Well, I think Don-Lucky is right about this one and the missing decimal point.
Good way to get your auction noticed!
Yes, but quite expensive as well.
perhaps you missed that the seller has actually changed the start price to $75.00?
Yeah,he did change it..hopefully before inspiring any other novice seller to reach for such “ass-tronomical” heights.
Maybe all publicity isn’t good publicity after all – no bidders for this guy; …and even $75 is a bit steep as a starting price for this title – the last few on ebay (in similar condition, recorded by popsike) ended for quite a bit less than that.
Did you mean 4016 Rudolf? There are certainly copies of 4006 (Dizzy Reece) without Inc & R. (& 4007 to 4016).
No, I meant to say that the last original in my collecton, without Inc and R, is # 4006. My 4017 is definitely an original first, so between 4006 and 4016 they made the change.
