What’s A Signed LP By Frank Sinatra Worth?

Here are the results of some of the items we were watching yesterday on eBay:

Jackie McLean, The New Tradition, Ad Lib 6601. This was an original pressing of this very rare record. The dealer uses different terminology than we use for grading, but it seems like the record was what we would call VG++ and the cover was VG+. Price: $798

Lee Morgan, Candy, Blue Note 1590. This was an original pressing from the same dealer as the Jackie McLean record. This was in VG++/VG++ condition. It sold for $713. We expected this to go for a higher price. In our Price Guide we’ve had two copies since the beginning of the year: One was in better condition than this and sold for $1,302: The other was in worse condition and sold for $861.

Sonny Rollins Plus Four, Prestige 7038. This was an original pressing with the white cover in M-/M- condition. Price: $202.50

Sonny Rollins Volume One, Blue Note 1542. This was an original pressing with the Lexington Avenue address. It was in VG++/VG+ condition and sold for $360.

Lee Konitz, Very Cool, Verve 8209. This was an original pressing with the trumpeter logo in M-/M- condition. It looked very clean and fetched a price of $131.38.

Finally, here’s an interesting collectible you may have missed: A copy of Frank Sinatra’s Songs For Swingin’ Lovers signed by Sinatra. It was not in great shape but still sold for $94.51.

That’s it for today. See you tomorrow at Jazzcollector.com and on Friday with our next newsletter. — Al
