Johnny, perhaps I missed something. Having given it but a cursory glance, I don’t see anything particularly odd. What is your concern?
I don’t understand, what do you find odd about it?
The last white label Brilliant Corners sold for over a thousand so hadn’t expected this final price of 200+. Or am I missing something?
I have a collection of 500-600 albums that I would like to sell. Most if not all is swing jazz, Benny Goodman type genre. Just curious what I should ask for it all. I’m wanting to sell all of it fast…thanks
Another ultra rare Cool Struttin available on Blue Note.
What is fun with Blue Note is that the most coveted label of all is also the most easily available…
The problem with Blue Notes is, even though they are fairly plentiful, the market has made them desirable, so prices have gone through the roof. It is like baseball cards, they decided the “rookie” card was the most valuable card, and they created a false value. Baseball card prices should be driven by popularity AND rarity. It seems to me Blue Notes are driven by popularity, even though, I can find music as good as the Blue Notes, and often, more rare than the Blue Notes, for the fraction of the price. I still can find Blue Notes for under $50, but I’ll be damned if I am going to pay more for a record just because it is a Blue Note and nothing more than a Blue Note.
JOK; that’s why i took some i distances with Blue Note collecting. I buy one here and there, of course, but…
I used to be a Blue Note fetichist, till i realized that i was narrowing my knowledge about Jazz music and labels, as i was focusing on one label. It took great interest to dig into Savoy Riverside catalog, where you can find fascinating gems, with equal (and sometimes much better) music at half or third the price of a Blue Note.

Michel: I am in complete agreement. I paid $11 for a very nice copy of “Modified Modern” (a split LP by Ernie Royal and Lucky Thompson) on Jazztone and Mat Mathews “The Modern Art of Mat Matthews” on Dawn. I wouldn’t have even known who Mathews was, but I saw the bassist was Oscar Pettiford and I always buy Oscar Pettiford records, so it was a nice score, although, accordion is a weird jazz instrument.
ever listen to george shearing on discovery? some great jazz accordion, for sure.
blinded by my love for Blue Note, i only took interest in Rudy van Gelder as engineering.. but just listened again to Porgy and Bess, Miles,.. and kind of blue.. pffff.. this columbia guy did marvelous work… didn’t knew him till now..Frank Laico! ..

Hey, does anyone have information about:
“Hans Koller new Jazz stars 1954” released on Mod records cologne, the first european jazz label.
I would like to know if that is a sought after record for serious collectors. It was pressed in 1954 and it is the first press, limited on 100 pieces.
TWT, Interested in your Swing Journal offer.
I live in Florida. I’ll pay shipping, let me know amount.
lenni
@ kutchie: Koller is very rare but there are different issues.
I Have the Herbie Hancock maiden voyage BLP 4195 with Deep groove on both sides. The DG must be unusual for this record?
Roland: a double sided DG is unknown.
it exists with DG side one only or no DG.
can you please send me pics of both sides? thanks

just came into some jazz lps. when i look them up, prices show up for 63rd instead of 61st, which is what i have, as well as 767 lexington–whims of chambers. what is the significamce, if any?
i gave wrong email address re: 61st st. just changed it
Birdie: Welcome to our world. The simple answer is that the label addresses can be used to determine when the record was pressed and in turn if it is an original, first pressing or a later pressing. Original First Pressings are obviously much more valuable.
The basic address order from oldest to youngest for LPs is: Lexington; 63rd St. New York 23; 63rd St without a registered trademark “R” or Inc.; 63rd St. with the “R” and Inc.; New York USA; and Liberty. Depending on when the record was released, a First Original Pressing could be Lexington or if released later, New York USA. It just depends.
There is also the whole thing a an “Ear” or “P” marking in the runout groove but you don’t want to go there (yet).
My advice is to scan this site or eBay to try get up to speed. Alternatively, Fred Cohen at the Jazz Record Center wrote a whole book on this which depending on how many Blue Notes you have might be a wise investment.
birdie, are you looking to sell? i’d be very interested in that whims of chambers record. trout (at) susqu (dot) edu.
birdie is selling whims of chambers on ebay
thank you for your insight.
just came across coltrane Ascension, impulse A95. hand etch edition ll. can’t seem to find any sales record, is it marketable?
Anyone familiar with either the label North Star or the organist Win Nelson? Picked up a copy of “Blue … Sweet and a Beat” lp 3021. Looks to be a 50’s pressing, but I can’t find info on either.
birdie:
two versions of ascension were recorded. coltrane liked the first take the best, but bob thiele accidentally sent the second take to the pressing plant, resulting in a limited run of that take. upon realizing the error, the first take (the second public version) was replaced and “edition II” was etched in the runout. both are extremely important and good, and quite marketable. not too many people know or care to look for weird etchings, so most folks don’t distinguish between them or care, but some do.
Has anyone heard or seen anything about some Dizzy Gillespie interview tapes? I’m trying to track down the original tapes from the interviews he did with Al Fraser for their book (the autobiography). I’m wondering if anyone has found the original tapes out there somewhere?
I have a collection of original pencil jazz portrait drawings covering the London jazz scene in the late ’40s – early 1950s- London Studio Cub, Feldham Club, incl. Dizzy Reece, Laurie M, Humphrey L. Ronnie S etc. They were done by a competent artist and fine draughtswoman, Pamela Richardson, from Kingston-upon-Thames. Many are dated. Please contact me for further details and pictures. Thank you.

Bought a Yellow Bergenfield copy of Etta Jones PR7186 Don’t Go To Strangers. I never buy vocal records, but the price was right and the condition very clean. Wow. Sonically wonderful. Great music. Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder. Includes Frank Wess, Roy Haynes, George Duvivier. Very nice surprise.
Was Verve a Plastylite client? I have a Mulligan which appears to have tiny ears.
I’ve never seen a Verve pressed by Plastylite and since the “ear” was a metal stamp, they would all be the same size.
