To Jack: I have been away over the weekend, therefore the late answer re “Portrait in Jazz” – which sounds nice. Can you send some details?
Regards, Gunter

Well, Erich, I have to say I’m jealous. 20+ CTI records from the 1970s… I hope you also found the David Matthews “Dune” release, ’cause that one truly is a collector’s item, as are many others. I found many CTI pressings during my seventies funk collector’s years 😉

Happy Sunday everybody! Yesterday I was at the KZSC Record Swap at the University of Calif. Santa Cruz campus. Every jazz album I purchased was from 25 cents to $2. I got 20+ CTI’s from the 1970’s, some 1960’s World Pacific (including some Chet Baker’s), some 1960-1970’s Miles Davis’, two Gabor Szabo’s on Impulse, and other things. Obviously no blue notes or pacific jazz, but if you were looking for good 1960-1970’s jazz it was great. Most of the dealers selling in bulk had purchased the records from estate sales, and were just trying to blow them out. There is also a twice yearly record show at the University of San Francisco where I have seen similar prices. These sales work for me when I want to survey an artist across several decades, as I am doing right now with Miles Davis, Paul Desmond, and others.

Paul, I bought the two Jutta Hipp Hickory House volumes on two Japanese CD re-issues a while ago on Amazon, but then through the always present "available from these sellers" option. I paid less then 20 US dollars for each of them and they were still sealed in their original cellophane wrappers, complete with the "obi" and all. In my eyes a true bargain! Mattyman

Paul, You looking for CD or Vinyl? I don’t know if they ever re-issued on CD. I guess only in Japan.

Paul I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting. I foolishly bought a Blue Note Treasures 2009 reissue (EMI Special Markets) of Joe Hendersons “Page One” It was anodyne, bland, pointless. Blue Note management simply do not understand how to make records that match up to original pressings. They think “make it thick vinyl” job done. Fail.

If you want it badly enough, there is one out there, fight for it.

Dear All,

Just a side question regarding rare vinyl: Is there any way to find out if Blue Note plans to re-issue the two albums of Jutta Hipp at the Hickory House?. In Amazon.com they are listed as “currently unavailable” and/or as expensive Japanese imports.

Thank you,

Paul

What a relief to read that some of the ‘regulars’ here deal with the same thing! 🙂 Although I started collecting jazz in the early nineties on CD (just wait for my guest column) and built quite a stash since, it wasn’t until last year that I began looking for the vinyl originals; hence my frustration sometimes. But since more of us are dealing with the sky rocketing prices I now know I shouldn’t let it get to me too much. And dottorjazz had the nicest pay-off for this discussion: “That single record exists out there and if you are patient enough you’ll bring it on home someday”. 😉
