Aaron: CR inners: I believe that the blue ones are earlier than the red ones. Also, there is a blue letter inner with a different design which is a definite first. Regarding the later identical red and blue ones, compare until what catalogue number they go on the rear. That will give an indication.
Hi Rudolf,
Thanks for the info, I think you are right, since I posted I found an earlier CR (with the green label) and it had the blue text inner. Both the later inner sleeves I had went to the same catalog number, they were 100% identical aside from the color.
I have recently come across a storage lot containing items from Oliver Nelson(the crate turned out to be from his first wife)
Any way some of the contents are reel to reel recordings of his music(handwritten by him on box) I’m not sure if they are actual studio recordings or just personal recordings for a reel to reel. Obviously a few Albums, some hand written music sheets two scores of which are notarized with his stamp. I am trying to find if there is a market for these and where what that would be.
I have an original copy of the rare dutch jazz record Brilliant by the Diamond Five on Fontana for sale. It’s truly in topnotch condition, both sleeve and record.
Please get in touch when interested.
Looking to sell the following records in very good condition. Wondering what i can expect to get as i have searched and got various answers.
Thanks, They are:

You’ll do well on the open sesame. I’d certainly be interested. Not sure what market you’re going to use but you can email me at sbeeb@uw.edu if you’re not set on the eBay rout. Good luck either way!
I see the Mobley sellers are at it again. This time,Hank Mobley & His all Stars,£1495.00. Curtis Fuller/Sonny Clark,Bone & Bari.£1495.00. Both buy now.Both Blue Notes of course.
I found this Dave Brubeck “Jazz Goes to College” 10″ and haven’t been able to find much information on it. It is titled as Vol. 1 although I haven’t been able to find any signs of Vol. 2. It is the version that only has 3 tracks from the full 7. The catalog number is CL 6321. Anyone know anything about it?
Jimmer – Vol 2 is 6322. They were then subsequently released together on the familiar 12″ LP “Jazz Goes to College,” Columbia CL 566. All tracks were recorded at the University of Michigan except for “Out of Nowhere” (U. Cincinnati) and “Le Souk” (Oberlin).
I recently went on a trip through California watching 10 minor league baseball games in 8 days covering towns from Stockton, San Jose, Visalia, Fresno, Bakersfield, Lancaster, Victorville and finally, Reno. I had a chance to go record shopping in a few towns and was able to pick up some nice records. I found a coveted Marty Paich “I Get a Boot Out of You” (W1349 Warner Brothers) for $4 in Stockton. The record jacket was in poor to good condition, but the record sounds very good with some initial “crackling” on the first song on side 1, but smooth sailing after that.
I found a copy of Lee Morgan’s “The Sidewinder” (Blue Note ST-84157) in Monterey, Art Blakey’s “A night in Tunisia” (Blue Note ST-84049) and Gerald Wiggins trio (Tampa T33) in Bakersfield, and landed a Herbie Harper blue vinyl 10 inch (Nocturne NLP 7), Harry Babison and the Jazz Pickers (Mode Mod LP 119) and Maynard Ferguson’s “Dimensions” (Emarcy MG-36044) in Reno. All in all, a great trip. Got over 200 baseball autographs and picked up some wanted vinyl in the process. I need to plan a baseball trip to the Northeast and see what treasures I can come up with.
I’m getting ready to sell a lot of records to a buyer across country. Anyone have experience tips for shipping a lot (70+ LPs) of records? Packaging? Most affordable shipping methods? When to consider splitting up one shipment into multiple shipments? Thanks in advance
Do anyone have some info on the Contact label? Have a Kuhn LP “Three waves” on that label with RVG in the run off. Looks very similar to the Impulse. Thanx
FedEx Ground might not be a bad option. Break up into 2 boxes. Certainly separate the records from the jacket for shipping. Maybe put bubble wrap around the records in case it drops.
Does anyone know if Transition records had different weights? I recently picked up Jazz by Sun Ra and it feels lighter and more flexible than my other records on the Transition label (including the compilation). Thanks.
I have been tasked with selling off my husband’s late uncle’s jazz lp collection. 2 full walls. They have been sitting there and auntie is finally ready to sell them off and move (he passed about 11 years ago). I have no idea where to start. There are thousands of albums and I know many of them will be worth something. Can anyone give me advice? They are located in upper NJ area.
Not sure about the stereo in a box as being the original cover, but the label on Aaron’s example is the transitional label; the original stereo label for SD1311 is Green
By the way, assume you know that the Bag’s Groove is also not original; it is the second (Bergenfeld) label
Hi Earl,
Giant Steps was never released on the vintage green stereo label, it was first released in stereo with the pictured “bullseye” label a few months after the mono.
Aaron – my info is from the Goldmine guide, but after paging through all the Popsike results (of which there are an amazing number for Giant Steps)I’m beginning to believe you’re right; can’t find a Stereo Green except possibly this: http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildatar.php?itemnr=120130393111
which describes the label as Green & White (no picture)
Incidentally, the number of Giant Steps available makes it interesting at what price a good copy sells for – even though the music is amazing, it certainly ain’t rare
man,oh,man-I knew Cy Coleman was a great lyricist-“I’ve Got Your Number,Will You Still Be Mine,”,so many more-but I flipped watching this video on You Tube -Art Ford’s Jazz House Party. I missed this a kid,but can imagine bugging my folks for a toy piano after seeing Coleman perform here. Amazing-and swingin’!!
I recently found a mono Liberty pressing (BLP 4175) of Herbie Hancock’s ‘Empyrean Isles.’ I have come across a lot of stereo Liberty pressings of this title, but never any mono copies. Do you think it is rare? It has an original cover that is still in shrink.
Although mono Liberties are probably much less common than their stereo cousins, I am pretty sure that that relative rarity does not earn them any particular premium
Hi first time on Readers Forum I have a question maybe you can help I have about 350 old school Cds for sale do know of anyone that collect Cds ?

RARE JAZZ-10″ (GRANZ) 1951 first release- Mercury record Jazz Series 8939 Matrix C-485-1 & C-486-3 Lester Young and orchestra “Undercover Girl Blues/Frenesi”
(WAS also RELEASED ON Mercury MGC 108 that same year)
I see you all really know your jazz and have dealt with Norman Granz in the past,
I myself own and have been seeking info on this, to no avail. 8939 was released in 1951 under the Mercury Jazz Series
This particular record I own believe to be somewhat rare & possibly valuable!!FOR THIS REASON:
the Single (10″ 1951 first release- Mercury record Jazz Series “Undercover Girl Blues/Frenesi” 8939 Matrix C-485-1 & C-486-3 Lester Young and orchestra). with bassist Gene Ramey or Joe Shulman and drummer Bill Clark or Jo Jones Supervised by Norman Granz.
This was recorded in 1951 as such 78-then (having ability to fit more titles on some size record)Mercury MGC 108 was released also in 1951 with six titles, including these tracks-from the 8939 release, meaning this was no longer produced making this a release that was short lived!!??
I am unable to find a record for sale or in someone’s possession, anywhere online,not on any site? (Mercury MGC 108, Collates-78rpm,CD-331/3-MP3 only) every big collector list’s has the record # and info, but not the record, release? So if you could please help me in identify this 10″ LP I would be very grateful
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
Best Regards,
hope you can help.

This video-recently posted,I believe-probably deserves a column of it’s own:Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers-w/ Lee Morgan and John Gilmore(!),plus the seldom seen Victor sproles on bass,circa 1965. Wow… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE1-MFXmjJY#t=780
Nearby sat a box of records he hadn’t shelved yet. They came from the collection of a man named Paulo Santos, a Brazilian jazz critic and D.J. who lived in Washington during the 1950s and who was friendly with some of the giants of jazz and modern classical music. Freitas thumbed through one album after another — Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Leonard Bernstein, Dave Brubeck. The records were signed, and not with simple autographs; the artists had written affectionate messages to Santos, a man they obviously respected.
“These dedications are so personal,” Freitas said, almost whispering.
He held the Ellington record for an extended moment, reading the inscription, then scanning the liner notes. Behind his glasses, his eyes looked slightly red and watery, as if something was irritating them. Dust, maybe. But the record was perfectly clean.
I found a sealed copy of Charlie Mingus’s Pithecanthropus Erectus (Atlantic 1237) yesterday with a handful of other titles of the same vintage. Some of the Atlantic titles are black labels, others are purple/red labels. Simply by holding the Mingus, it seems like it might not feel heavy enough to be a black label pressing, if that makes sense. The shrink fits more tightly than some other sealed Atlantic titles of this era that I’ve had before (specifically Ornette Coleman titles) which is another reason I’m leaning towards a purple/red label for the Mingus.
Short of popping the seal, is there a sure-fire method of knowing which pressing I have?
Brian — you can contact Bob Djukic. He seems to have a magic formula for peering into sealed records. And, surprise, they always turn out to be original pressings.
Just kidding, of course.
I think you should open the seal and listen to the record. It’s a great one, and why not listen to a pristine, new copy?
Thanks Al. I’m planning to sell the record, which is why I have been trying to avoid opening. I didn’t call attention to that fact in my initial post as to not sound like I was advertising it here. But either way, it may well be best to go ahead and open it up and have a look.
The article on the South American record collector-referenced by Jason below-is a great read. Thanks,Jason!BTW,for those who missed this Blue Train sale,the following link might convince you to unload the “doubles” you’ve been saving. A “common” 60’s pressing-yes? Al?
Fancy a look at Leon Leavitt’s personal copy of Jackie McLean “The New Tradition” on Ad Lib 6601? It has a unplayed vinyl. It’s in my collection now and I show this rare piece on my YouTube channel. Enjoy it here:
Im Albert from Barcelona. Its the first time that i write here.
I have a book form a jazz festival of Barcelona from 1972 with the autographs of Kenny Burrell, Art Farmer, Roy Haynes, Illinois Jacquet, James Moody, Jimmy Smith, Clark Terry, Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmon, Gerry Mulligan and Charlie Mingus. All of this autogaphs are at the same book.
I have a Keen 45 that I am looking for ANY information on. I am usually quite good at finding, at least, limited data on obscure records, but this one really has me stumped. I can find NOTHING on the record itself, NOTHING on the artist, and only a single probable reference to the A side song (nothing on the B side).
According to the following site, Herb Alpert copyrighted a new arrangement of the 1st 8 bars and adapted the last 8 bars of the children’s classic “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” on or around 9/16/1959. This corresponds very closely to the likely press time of this item (1960).
I do have photos of the record in question (Keen P 82110 – promo), if that would help.
Artist: The Blue Blowers
Side A (59333): Row, Row, Row Your Boat (Alpert – Adler)
Side B (59334): Rue De Kazoo (Hilliard)
Matrix (Stamped): RK 59333 / RK 59334
Any information you can provide on this item (artist or disk, itself), or if you could direct me to other resources that might help, I would be very grateful.
Here’s a rare-and killer-solo LP from a favorite pianist,Martial Solal. Set price sale(don’t sleep on it!). Not my item,but I already have the record-very nice.
There is another sale (from 2010) of an original Stereo Giant Steps that sold for $465 – what is rather astonishing to me is that the prices of Giant Steps originals are so high over-all, seeing as how this is anything but a rare (albeit a very fine) album – then again, there is little rationale for the demand factor
Monks birthday yesterday… in the netherlands they relaesed a cd with unreleased music from the concert he gave in the amsterdam Concertgebouw on 20th of may 1961, and from a small concert in the small town Bussum on the 15th of april 1961 http://www.jazzarchief.nl/

Hello;
Im Albert from Barcelona. Its the first time that i write here.

For another Duke related recommendation, check out Michael Gondry’s film Mood Indigo for some jazz on the big screen.
what a price….and what a deep groove??

Seriously?!? The original stereo pressing has typically been a $50-$150 record, when did this happen? http://www.ebay.com/itm/161414046394?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Was wondering why there is no market for Blue Note Cassette Tapes?

There is another sale (from 2010) of an original Stereo Giant Steps that sold for $465 – what is rather astonishing to me is that the prices of Giant Steps originals are so high over-all, seeing as how this is anything but a rare (albeit a very fine) album – then again, there is little rationale for the demand factor
