Remember buying such a copy for $200.00 waywaywaywayway back in the day mid ‘60’s and thinking that was a lot of money to pay for a record.
And recall selling it for $500.00 also back in the day and thinking that was a lot of money to get for a record.
And thinking now I wish I had kept it to sell in this market.
$12,600. Wow. I think that’s the highest I’ve seen. BTW, just got back from a lovely two week holiday with the Lovely Mrs. JC. Hope to begin catching up this week.
Aloha folks, that was amazing to see that Jazz Record Center’s Blue Train bring that amount in! I remember seeing one just like it but I think the NY 23 label was on Side 2. It also had stamped on the record label and back of cover I believe “For Promotion” in blue ink. The copy I saw was in very good+ condition. So, not as pristine as Cohen’s listing but very nice and rare with the promotion stamp on it. Wonder what that would go for today! Mahalo!
Excellent program. I am visiting my daughter’s in Las Vegas this week and introduced them to “Al the Jazz man”. They loved it!
Keep it playin
As this album was released in 1958, this seems like the perfect place to post this:
