Introducing Lee Morgan with the Hank Mobley Quintet, Savoy 12091. We’ve seen original copies of this record in nice condition selling for more than $500 in the Jazz Collector Price Guide, so a new, unplayed original would be worth quite a bit. But is this an original? Only the buyer will know if, indeed, the buyer ever opens it. In this case the buyer is spending $161.50 to find out.

This one was also tempting:

Surf Ride Featuring Art Pepper, Savoy 12090. This was also sealed. The price was $150.

We were watching this record because it is a second pressing and it seemed to be getting some action: Zoot Sims, Zoot, Jazzland 2. This was an orange label pressing and it had the deep groove, but it is a reissue of Zoot!, Riverside 228. This one was in VG+ condition for the vinyl and VG++ for the cover and it sold for $77.99, which is not bad for a Jazzland and not bad for a reissue.

My alter ego AJdoctor will be returning to eBay today after a lengthy absence of several weeks. I’ve got a couple of Jazzland LPs I’m putting up as well as a copy of Stan Levey This Time the Drum’s on Me, an original Bethlehem with some rare Dexter Gordon. Keep an eye out. It’s good to be back.
