Comments on: The Great Jazz Vinyl Countdown: John Coltrane, Settin’ The Pace, Prestige 7213 https://jazzcollector.com/prestige/the-great-jazz-vinyl-countdown-john-coltrane-settin-the-pace-prestige-7213/ For those who love jazz Sat, 10 Oct 2009 20:47:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Al https://jazzcollector.com/prestige/the-great-jazz-vinyl-countdown-john-coltrane-settin-the-pace-prestige-7213/comment-page-1/#comment-9696 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 20:47:57 +0000 http://jazzcollector.com/?p=2020#comment-9696 OK — after we posted this, someone sent us a note asking to buy the record. We are happy to sell it to one of our Jazz Collector readers, but we seem to have misplaced the email. If you are out there and want to purchase a copy of this record, please send an email to al@jazzcollector.com. Sorry we didn’t get back to you sooner.

Once you’ve spent that weekly amount on new records/cds,whatever,,THATS IT! Make that percentage a number likely to scratch your ‘itch’-and if it’s not enough,use that as incentive to sell MORE records. In time you’ll see some benefits.
If you’re not satisfied with that,there’s always the ol’ “DOLLAR BLOWOUT SALE!”. Start with one of your copies(I’m assuming you have both the mono and stereo-lol) of Basie Plays Bond,perhaps tossed in with one or two blue label Prestiges. You’ll get some takers with the low starting bid(with closing bids at much more than a buck)-and plenty of repeat business. Just keep reminding yourself the goal is to sell,not hoard.
If all else fails,maybe your close friends could hold an intervention-“Al,we’re all here because we CARE about you.”(Insert sounds of sobbing relatives here) After all,if music isn’t a drug,I don’t know what is…

Send me an email to al@jazzcollector.com if you are interested.

To Jason and Dave — If I have to go through all 6,632 records on the Jazz Collector site we’re all in trouble. You think Basie Plays James Bond is going to survive the cut? The real problem will be when I go out and buy more records — which is only inevitable, isn’t it? — then the process will last even longer and eBay will own the mortgages on both of my homes and the rights to my first-born grandchildren.

At this decision rate, he’ll still be selling records from his collection 10 years from now.

And by then eBay will be collecting 93% of the transaction sales price and the US postal service sold to Amazon.
