This Weekend on eBay: Dolphy, Dorham, Dex

Here are some of the interesting records we’re watching on eBay this weekend.

Eric Dolphy Live at the Five Spot, Volume 1, New Jazz 8260. This is an original pressing with the deep grooves and the purple label. The record is listed as mint and the cover is listed as “near mint minus,” which sounds a bit like a double negative, but we’ll assume it is either VG++ or M-. In any case, the record is selling later today and has a price in the $300 range.

Also from the great Prestige New Jazz label is this classic: Kenny Dorham, Quiet Kenny, New Jazz 8225. This is also an original pressing, with the purple labels and the deep grooves.  The seller has his own grading system, but this one looks to be at least VG++ and perhaps M-. The current price is about $800.

The seller Herschel78 is back with a few nice ones, including this beauty:

Dexter Gordon, Dexter Blows Hot and Cool, Dootone 2007. This one features the red vinyl, which is listed in M- condition. The cover is listed as VG+. The price is already at $930, so it’s a cinch that this one will join the $1,000 bin.

Here’s another Dexter, not as pricey, but also quite nice: Dexter Gordon, Dexter Rides Again, Savoy 12130. This is an original red-label pressing and it’s listed in M- condition. Great record, featuring Dexter’s early 78s on Savoy. Right now it’s only $50, so perhaps someone may consider it a bargain.

We’re watching a few more interesting items and we hope to post a few more later today or tomorrow, so please stay tuned.
