That’s a good one, but i too don’t know… I only remember reading it when his feedback was (still) public.

Would be curious to know what the “nightmare” was. Over-graded, I assume.

That seller of Lights Out is Colossus3, the same guy who claimed that he sold copies from Leon Levitt earlier this year. Remember the Mobley 1568 he offered a while ago? According to Colossus3 it was one of 14 copies that Levitt had and that he was somehow ‘allowed’ to take the best copy of those 14. Eventually some Korean guy bought it for $5,600 and had to return it leaving the word “nightmare!!” in his feedback, after which a lot more complaints came up with Colossus3 responding. For some reason this seller doesn’t ‘feel’ right to me and with his buy now price of $3,500 for Lights Out, it’s clear that the man is driven by greed. We had debates about him before, but that’s how i feel about it, even though i’d never be able to afford these gems to begin with.

Al, i also purchased an album with donald byrd on it
for a quarter, a number of years ago. although the sleeve was split and the booklet missing, the transition labels are still sticking to the vinyl. a great album “byrd blows on beacon hill” found it at a yard sale, still cherish it today. cheers.

Jackie McLean, Lights Out, Prestige 7035… this is the 2nd try this seller had to sell this one. Look at the outrageous buy it now price. With that kind of crap I think people gets put off as well, I know I am. Unprofessional.

I’m sure the price of that Wallington record twenty years ago vs. the price of it today is dramatically different.

Even so, one can’t beat 25 cents.
