I have Manteca with NY labels in great shape. Knew it was the end of using the NY labels but didn’t realize that pressing was rare. Mine cost $15, hooray!

I sort of agree with Rich – just some seam dinging on an otherwise M- jacket would reduce it only to a VG++ IMHO – however, I do think that $300 was a bit ambitious – not aware that Lush has ever garnered more than ~ 250, though I’m not sure why this should be; it’s certinly one of Tranes best

Agreed on the Lush Life jacket: the top corner makes it more VG+, but besides that, sure, it pretty much looks VG++.

What Joe said. I’ve paid $50 for two records, Introducing Ernie Henry and (Tampa’s) Marty Paich quartet ($50 being my personal high), and both records were in very good condition (the Ernie Henry album jacket was mint, the Marty Paich cover was vg). I love both of these records, and it would have to be another love affair for me to go over $50.

Michel – to me, NO. But I’m probably in the minority here. VG+ is enjoyable to me; the music shines through and I can afford it!

This Prestige 7017 is the kind of record i’d like to own in NM, because, as Al told us, it is terrific. I already have a VG+ copy. But when you have found a decent and playable VG+ copy for 10 euros at your local flea market, are you ready to spend 200 euros in Ebay for the same record ?
