Terry: as a general rule, no. Although sometimes they come close, as is the case of Miles Davis #2 BLP 5022. The French is identical, whereas the Brit is a variation on the French issue of 5013 (LD 122). The French and English 5013 are different from the US version, they have made a collage out of the front pictures on the US cover.
# 5044, Elmo Hope qnt, US version, Elmo sitting on a chair with a dog, the UK version has several pictures taken during the recording session.
Clifford Brown # 5032 has a French issue which has totally different art work. The Brit is similar to the French.
Please note that the French and English catalogue numbers were not the same as the US, also the French and English issues have each different catalogue numbers. They always make reference to Blue Note Records, NY on the labels.
My first Blue Note ever was French Vogue LD 122, the equivalent of # 5013, Miles Davis sextet.
OK, here is a question. I see that Al has an ad on his site from a company that is doing BN reissues on 12 inch LP at 45rpm. I understand the concept behind this, however, has anyone actually purchased and/or heard one of these? Does the difference in speed really make a large enough difference to justify the cost? Also, what is the source material, original mater tapes or vinyl recordings taken to digital?
Terry, If you scroll down this page to about 12/30/10 or so you can read the discussion we had on the Music Matters series. Different people had some different opinions. Mine is that they sound great and are quite pricey. Does the fact that they are 45 rpm or that they were remastered make them sound better. I tend to think that the benefits of a top quality remasters(pure analog from the master tapes{when they exist}) are greater than the benefits from the 45 rpm. I enjoy them a lot but that opinion wasn’t universal. There website is an interesting read for anyone with some interest in Blue Note. Maybe get one, see how you like it and go from there.
I’m hoping to get some feedback from all of you so please don’t hold back. Our uncle passed away and left us an AMAZING collection of everything JAZZ. 78’s, LP’s and 45’s too. I am estimating maybe 3000 or so. What’s the best way to sell them to someone who would be interested. we’ve got it all! There are so many I don’t have a clue on how to organize them all! help!
Hi everybody. I’m new here and want to say many thanks to the creators – always want to be in touch with modern prices on rare records.
I also have a little question. My friend recently bought a UK press of Coltrane’s Love Supreme. I never dealt with UK pressings and I’m after the US one, but want to know if it is an original..
Welcome to the club,jazzvinyl.ru. If there is anyone who knows what,as I understand it-the original first UK pressing of A Love Supreme looks like-they probably visit here from time to time. Since,as someone once said-“This must be the place cause there ain’t no other place around this place!” Or words to that effect…
SUBJECT: Will disaster in Japan have ripple effect on eBay Jazz sales?
First off, all good thoughts and prayers to the gods of your choice are with the victims of recent tragic events in Japan. It’s hard to comprehend the magnitude. And it’s with no macabre underpinnings that, as a buyer and seller of jazz on eBay, after the disaster hit I almost immediately wondered: Will this impact Jazz sales on eBay? Are there enough people impacted in Japan that we might expect to see a dip in sales to that country (as well as a decrease in competition for buyers)? Should Jazz sellers wait a while for Japan to recover? Included in this are the related disruptions in things like transportation, power, the postal system, diversion of funds to repair homes and businesses, etc. Am I way off base in wondering this?
“Am I way off base in wondering this?”-probably. I think anyone who has a number of repeat business partners in Japan would fire off an e-mail asking about their safety. That’s the least anyone can do. The rest of it seems pretty irrelevant right now-or maybe that’s just me.
Japhy: Cynical, as it may appear, I asked myself the same question, since I have a few records on auction (Ray Bryant Trio on Prestige NY and on Epic and Cool Gabriels Andy Warhol).
I think the impact will be negative for sellers.
EBay policy makes it very difficult to enter into contact with buyers, as Ceedee suggested.
Rudolf, yesterday I won a copy of Thad Jones Mad Thad (Nixa) on ebay.
Is this issue equivalent to the US pressing on period rec. ?
How about the pressing quality of the british issue ?
I am sure you have a copy or at least had the chance to listen to it.
Thanks Jan.
Jan, congratulations with your Nixa 13. It is equivalent to Period 1208. Regarding the quality of Nixa pressings, I would guess that they are at least equal, if not better than the Periods.
To fresh up my mind, is the cover of the Nixa green, with a picture of Thad and yellow letters? I may have seen it in the UK at the time.
Jan: P.S.
I have five Nixa albums. Three with Metronome material from Sweden which came out there in 45 rpm only. So it is good to have it on LP. Two others with UK recordings (Don Rendell and Tenorama, a collection of British tenors).
Nixa made big money with their Chris Barber albums, a trad group very popular in Europe. I saw them in concert in Scheveningen!
Anyone here familiar with Sahib Shihab’s “Shihab’s Jazz Party”? I have the Japanese CD and have been longing for an original for a while now. I can’t figure out though, what is the original. I’ve seen three different versions, A Fontana, A Debut, and a Japanese press(obviously not the original). Which is the original, the Fontana or Debut? Or is it that they are both the original, depending on what market you are in?
Thanks
To my knowledge, the “Debut” and “Fontana” were both released 1964 and therefore could be considered equal.
The first is the original Danish pressing while the latter is the original Dutch pressing.
That’s what I thought, they both are first pressings just in different markets. Any idea which is more rare? Popsike shows them both fetching nice prices and I don’t think they come up all that often.
People think Blue Note is complicated, but as a non-european I find European jazz releases way more of a mystery.
Thanks Katharsis
Mike I also like the European recordings of Sahib Shihab.
You should consider listening to Johnny Griffin s Lady heavy bottoms waltz on German Vogue label , it also features Sahib.
A very nice recording is Sentiments on Danish Storyville(this is not so expensive)and I also like Sahib s Companionship (also on German vogue )
Thanks Jan, I’ve been listening to his Euro recordings over the past year or so. I have sentiments but will check out the others. I never paid much attention to his U.S. recordings, I think he came into his own as a composer whenever he moved to Europe.
I agree with Katharsis. As a matter of fact, Debut leased some of their recordings to Phonogram in the Netherlands. They pressed the Debut masters and issued them on Fontana records, marked “A Debut recording”, but with Fontana labels. At the same time Debut Denmark leased also some masters to Fantasy, who issued them in their Debut series.
The Fontana pressings were excellent, even better than the Danish originals, the Fantasy pressings were lousy.
There is no doubt that the Danish debuts are the only originals.
Thanks again for the info, is thiere a sight where I could see on the Fontana discography and tell which were originally issued on Fontana and which were from another label?
Rudolph, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard that the Fontana pressing were as good if not better than the original, any reason for this or was Fontana just better at quality control? I’ve never seen the fantasy issue of “Sahib’s jazz party” but will steer clear.
Mike: Fontana’s secret was very high quality vinyl, like DGG, and, no doubt, a strict quality control.
Fantasy’s Debut series have four titles leased from Debut Denmark:
-6010, Oscar Pettiford
-6013, Brew Moore/Sahib Shihab/Lars Gullin
-6014, Cecil Taylor
-6015, Essen Jazz Festival stars (Hawk, O.P. Bud Powell, Kenny Clarke-6016, Albert Ayler
The other Fantasy/Debuts are from Charles Mingus’ defunct Debut label, except for 6007 (Max Roach) and 6017 (Mingus), which are Fantasy/Debut originals.
We talked recently about the impact of the situation in Japan on our market.
I had a limited (4 records) 10 days sale which closed yesterday night.
The 3 items that sold went all to Japan (Tokyo).
Ray Bryant – Prestige 7098 for
$ 696
Ray Bryant – Epic trio radial for $ 50
Miles Davis – Prestige 7150 for $ 124.
The Cool Gabriels, Andy Warhol on Groove did not sell at $ 1246. Was sold last time for over $ 2000. I had a reserve of $ 1500.
The Yen has gone up further against the dollar in the past week. Like %3-4. Combine that with the fact that Tokyo while impacted in many ways did not have the severe problems of the north could me that the Japanese buyers are still healthy.
Rudolph, you got a nice price for the Ray Bryant prestige record. I wanted to bid buy once it got over $300 I knew it wasn’t happening.
I also noticed that your Candoli record went up a day or so after another. Maybe the market couldn’t bare it.
sorry about the double post but theres a couple of records I am looking for. I am looking for a copy of open sesame (who isn’t lol] by Freddie Hubbard.
I have cash and trade. I have 3 copies of Saxophone colossus. I have a stone mint copy of Art Pepper meets the rhythm section that I ccould be swayed to part with if the deal was right. Seriously probably the best copy in existence.
I have Bumps Blackwells personal copy/test pressing of Roy Porter’s “Jessica” that comes in a white sleeve that says artwork to come. I have a VG++ copy of Bird and Diz 10′ autographed by Dizzy and Buddy Rich that I got from the guy who bought it when it was released. I would not trade that I just like to mention it.
Anyone have a record with and warhol art that is a silkscreen that says giant size $1.57 the record is interviews taken in 1963 at art exhibition in washington. Here is the cover art.
dottorjazz,re:bobdj-that’s a good ‘catch'(bob’s description ignores the obvious ny label and the “r”s)…I’m with you all the way. “An educated consumer is the best customer”,but the consumer has a responsibility to educate themselves,a point too often ignored.
vinylmartyr-with (3)copies of Sax Colossus you are thrice-blessed! Most of us won’t see that in a lifetime of collecting! My UA LP copy of Open Sesame is holding up pretty well,thank you. “All Or Nothing At All” is good for whatever ails you,regardless of format…
I guess I should have been more specific. I have one NY and 2 NJ’s. I would trade on e of the NJ’s and some cash or maybe another record. I have one NJ that is pretty nice. I have a sealed Liberty night dreamer its worth at least $500 according to eBay now LOL. I am open to ideas. You can email me direct to vitalrecords@gmail.com
I put this really rare jazz funk by Roy Porter”Jessica” record on eBay. Top copies have gone for 2k. I got this record at the Buena Park record show about 8 months ago for $400. What makes this copy so special is the it is from the estate of Bumps Blackwell delivered to Roy Porter himself with press materials with hand written notes. This very well could be the 1st copy. Roy’s note on the press packette say cover to come. I was thinking about taking this money and investing in a 1st state butcher cover.
just viewing an album offered by our friend Bobdjukic. His is a story full of lies: it is the original quintet of Miles Davis PrLp 7014, in the 1962 re-issue # 7254. Even as a re-issue it is not the first issue. These re-issue series had one particularity: the front cover was in a special grubby paper, very artistic, but easily exposed to wear.

The word shame is unknown to our friend, but the system works: he obtains high prices. Caveat emptor.

Have you all seen this auction recently:

The remarkable thing about it was, that the record had the “Ear” just on side one. Did anyone hear something like that before?
Rudolf.
Thanks for the info, very helpful. I guess it’s time to search for a good Vogue web site.

To have some fun amidst learned discussion about flat rims and ears, I would like to ask you guys (and girls) a riddle.
X plus Lee Morgan and Curtis Fuller = BLP 1577.
For X give the name of an album or catalogue number.
Paul Chambers – Chambers’ Music on Jazz West JWLP 7
i believe it was a forgotten session fromm ’55 or ’56
westcoast recording
“X plus Lee Morgan and Curtis Fuller = BLP 1577.
For X give the name of an album or catalogue number.”
and minus Coltrane, what album do we have then??
Maarten, you have the correct answer. Now with respect to your riddle. On the top of my head, could it be the Kenny Drew trio on early Riverside??
just viewing an album offered by our friend Bobdjukic. His is a story full of lies: it is the original quintet of Miles Davis PrLp 7014, in the 1962 re-issue # 7254. Even as a re-issue it is not the first issue. These re-issue series had one particularity: the front cover was in a special grubby paper, very artistic, but easily exposed to wear. The second versions were in gleaming paper. Anyway, his is a re-issue or second pressing of a re-issue, nothing an original should be. The word shame is unknown to our friend, but the system works: he obtains high prices. Caveat emptor.
