Very cool record! (tenor madness)
I bought a collection of about 300 great jazz/rock/psych/soul/rockabilly/country/gospel(great vj gospel i;e.!) a mixed bag really, to resell about 3 years ago. It had a VGish SAXOPHONE COLLOSSUS(sic) in it that didn’t actually surface! I asked the guy I was buying it from what happened and now I understand the meaning of the reply … “um?!” That was the only missing record however. I would of kept it had it popped up.
Well, I made ultra-bank with that collection and got to keep some great gems – a truly beautiful black label ++/++ MOANIN IN THE MOONLIGHT, some cool MARTY PAICHs/ ART PEPPERs on orig TAMPA, a super clean mono PAUL GONZALES – GETTIN’ TOGETHER on JAZZLAND, and so many others.
I had to sell the jazz rarities however. You all know how much you’ld want to keep ’em! Well, … so did I! 4 giant original BNs in particular – KENNY DORHAM – R.M. @ the CAFE BOHEMIA, CLIFF JORDAN – CLIFF CRAFT, J.R. MONTEROSE w/ ira sullivan, and a KENNY DORHAM – WHISTLE STOP. All real nice presentable pieces which came in at great prices! Oh well! Those 4 records paid for the collection alone and the rest was sheer profit/bank! Banana warhols, rare psych, a LOT of $4-$100 jazzers, a dozen or so really clean Sun lps(they were tough to sell ’cause some of those Sun lps are dynamite!) etc etc… I have replaced a few but man it would be nice to just spend it and KEEP IT for a change huh?!?!? I did replace the J.R. MONTEROSE a few months back w/ a later mono UA pressing. Not the same but enjoyable none less. Peace, Red

lennib,if I get some decent money for some things I’m selling off,I want to put something away for the NEXT copy of To Bird that shows up. JRC has sold it before and probably will again(to ME,dammit!)

I’m the lucky person who won the To Bird with Love book. This will make the third time that I have owned it, I foolishly sold it two other times. Oh well, third time’s the charm and I fully intend to keep it I was surpised to win it, as I bid what I felt I could afford and was sure it would go higher. Maybe the S & P rating downgrade affected the bidding. It seems pundits say it will affect everything else.

wow, a Mint/Mint copy of Tenor Madness on Prestige NYC. No amount is too high for such a rarity.
I noticed that there is a minor difference between the NYC and the Bergenfield version: the red on the cover front is of a different shade.
I have started to play the Bergenfield version more often, just to keep the NYC copy in top shape.
