I am very interested in selling my jazz collection Armstrong through Lester Young (The Prez)

However having a VERY difficult time understanding this site!!!

How do I get customers and what are the problems with payments from “others”.

I am an Honest Scotsman, attempting to sell the REAl JAZZ

CAN YOU HELP ME ????

Terry – I have found no advantage to the 5 mil sleeves. Plus, they seem to get cloudy. They are nice, but the 3 mild do fine for me. I store behind the jackets if the particular jacket is susceptible to ringwear or splitting. If not, in the sleeve.

terry: i like to keep the vinyl in the jacket itself. i know this leads to a risk of splits and such after repeated use, but i try to be very careful. keeping the vinyl outside the jacket keeps me from reading the back! i am a big fan of the sleeves that are open at the top and fit a bit snugly.

Opinions welcome!!
I ran out of clear poly outer sleeves last night. This got me thinking about the way I store my jazz vinyl. My current method is to place the disc in a Mofi inner sleeve. I then take the disc in the mofi sleeve and store it behind the jacket (both within the clear poly outer sleeve). I’m currently using 3 mil outer sleeves without a resealable flap. Is there a better alternative? any real advantage to the 5 mil sleeves?

Billie Holiday at Storyville (Trio) there is another version but neither are original> I don’t know if there was an Original recording pressed on vinyl. The audio is almost the best I have ever heard even though it is not billie holidays finest hour.

Another one to mention is track A3 and both songs on side 2 of Clifford Brown, “The Beginning and the End” on Columbia, from a live show in Philadelphia. Legend is that the live show was the night before he died – not true, that myth was thoroughly debunked by Nick Catalano in his biography of Clifford. The concert was the year before, May of 1955, not June of 1956. Anyway, the sound quality is poor, but Clifford’s playing is spectacular, particularly on “Donna Lee.”

I suppose you all know that the albums “Waltz for Debby” and “Sunday at the Village Vanguard” are both derived from the same 2 days at the Vanguard (June 29 & 30 1961) the latter being the day I was married in Yonkers, and that represented the last time Evans played with Scott Lefaro, who died 6 days later in an auto accident.
These will always be very special albums for me.

A Jazz live album I’ve played with ever increasing pleasure for the last 6 years is the magnificent Sonny Rollins concert compilation Road Shows Vol. 1 (Doxy).
Sadly it’s CD only but the music is spectacular. II thought I’d mention it since many jazz fans and Rollins fans I know have never heard it and I play it as much as any Rollins I LP own.

@Gregory, indeed that’s true. I was lucky to become fairly close with him before he passed.

Another fine Cecil live set – and there are many – is the Nuits de la Fondation Maeght three volume box on Shandar from 1969 with Lyons, Cyrille and Sam Rivers. It’s unrelenting but well worth the time spent. Also quite affordable. 🙂
