The post Another Dolphy Collectible; Some LPS on eBay Today first appeared on jazzcollector.com.]]> Last week we were watching the record Eric Dolphy in Europe, Debut 136, which eventually sold for $1,375. This weekend there was another nice European rare Dolphy for sale: Eric Dolphy Last Date, Fontana 681-008. To my knowledge, this was an original pressing originally issued in Holland. This one was in beautiful M- condition and sold for $596.50. 

While I’m here, I may as put in a reminder that we have a few records for sale on eBay today. Here are a couple:

Mundell Lowe, New Music of Alex Wilder, Riverside 219. This is an original

pressing with the white label. It has liner notes by Frank Sinatra and the cover is in M- condition. The starting price on this is just $12 and so far there are no bidders, which is a surprise to me. I thought this would get a lot of action from jazz guitar enthusiasts.

Bud Shank and Bob Brookmeyer, Pacific Jazz 20. This is an original 10-inch LP in VG+ condition. The current price is $20.50.

Johnny Griffin, Night Lady, Emarcy 26001. This is an original Emarcy European pressing, pretty rare. The record is M- and the cover is VG+. The current price is just $14.50. I put this record on last week when I was posting it. It’s a great quartet session.

The post A Quickie Quiz first appeared on jazzcollector.com.]]> We’re going through this process of sorting through our records and deciding what to keep and what to sell. The main reason, honestly, is just that we have too many records. It’s hard to decide what to listen to, and hard to manage with records and record players spilling over into every room in the house. Anyway, in this process we’re looking at and listening to records in our collection that have been on the shelf for years and never received a listen or a look. As we do this, we are finding some interesting things. For instance, here’s a question we’ll pose based on an album we reviewed yesterday. The album is Mundell Lowe and His Orchestra, New Music of Alec Wilder, Riverside 219. It may not be at the top of everyone’s want list, but it’s a decent record and our copy — which we’ve decided to sell — is an original white label pressing. Anyway, here’s the interesting tidbit, hence the quiz. The liner notes to this LP were written by an individual who was much better known as a singer than as a writer. Who was this individual? Ten points to the first person who gets the right answer.
