Oh, yes, eBay. <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tina-Brooks-on-Blue-Note-4041-/292438314812?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;nma=true&amp;si=%252BlKHp3q8A3aDCvqUcDjsXdsaW50%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Tina Brooks, True Blue, Blue Note 4041</strong></a>. This was an original West 63rd Street pressing from the <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/jazzrecordcenter/m.html?item=292438314812&amp;nma=true&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;si=%252BlKHp3q8A3aDCvqUcDjsXdsaW50%253D&amp;LH_Complete=1&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2046732.m1684" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Jazz Record Center</strong></a>, part of a nice auction that closed last week. Based on the description I would count this as M- for both the record and the cover. The final price was $2,275. Before eBay was around to show us what the market really looks like, I used to think that True Blue was the ultimate Blue Note collectible, and for a while that did seem to be the case. But it has since been surpassed in desirability &#8212; and price &#8212; but at least a couple of other records, to wit: <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/HANK-MOBLEY-039-SELF-TITLE-039-BLP-1568-PROMOTION-COPY-SIDE-A-NYC-SIDE-B-NEW-YORK-23-/132494748216?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;nma=true&amp;si=%252BlKHp3q8A3aDCvqUcDjsXdsaW50%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hank Mobley, Blue Note 1568</strong></a>. This was an original pressing with the New York 23 label on side two, which makes it uber-original in the eyes of many collectors. Perhaps of equal excitement, this was a promo copy. The record was listed in M- condition and the cover was listed as EX+. The final price was $7,970, which may be a record for any jazz record, depending upon how you view these things. Quite incredible, don&#8217;t you agree.</p>
<p><span id="more-7843"></span>Here are a few others from the Jazz Record Center auction:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Clifford-Brown-on-Blue-Note-1526-/302628848197?hash=item467615c245%3Ag%3AmLoAAOSwtudaeKz0&amp;nma=true&amp;si=%252BlKHp3q8A3aDCvqUcDjsXdsaW50%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Clifford Brown Memorial Album, Blue Note 1526</strong></a>. This was an original Lexington Avenue pressing. My grading would put this at M- for both the record and the cover, based on the description, because JRC doesn&#8217;t use our standard grading language. This one sold for $700.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Baby-Face-Willette-on-Blue-Note-4068-/292438313969?hash=item4416ae8bf1%3Ag%3ASJcAAOSwZvRaeKys&amp;nma=true&amp;si=%252BlKHp3q8A3aDCvqUcDjsXdsaW50%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>&#8220;Baby Face&#8221; Willette, Face to Face, Blue Note 4068</strong></a>. This was a West 63rd Street pressing <strong><em>without</em></strong> the deep groove. It was probably in M- condition for the record and VG++ for the cover, depending upon how you feel about the previous owner writing her name in ink on the back &#8212; in three different places. Huh? Anyway, this record sold for $560, which is not making a lot of sense to me. Perhaps someone out there in Jazz Collector world has a reasonable explanation.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Herbie-Hancock-on-Blue-Note-4109-/292438312198?hash=item4416ae8506%3Ag%3AM34AAOSw86JaeKwn&amp;nma=true&amp;si=%252BlKHp3q8A3aDCvqUcDjsXdsaW50%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Herbie Hancock, Takin&#8217; Off, Blue Note 4109</strong></a>. This was an original New York USA pressing in M- condition for the record and the cover. It had the added benefit of Hancock&#8217;s autograph, if you consider that to be a benefit. It sold for $710.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Grant-Green-on-Blue-Note-4064-/292438312087?hash=item4416ae8497%3Ag%3AfkMAAOSwgkdaeKwe&amp;nma=true&amp;si=%252BlKHp3q8A3aDCvqUcDjsXdsaW50%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Grant Green, Grant&#8217;s First Stand, Blue Note 4064</strong></a>. This was an original West 63rd Street pressing that looked to be in M- condition for the record and the cover. The final price was $710.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a Blue Note you don&#8217;t see too often: <strong><a title="Harold Vick Blue Note" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=380224886439&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_865" target="_blank">Harold Vick, Steppin&#8217; Out, Blue Note 4138. </a></strong>This was an original New York USA pressing in M- condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $373.</p>
<p>Someone on the <strong><a title="Reader Forum" href="http://jazzcollector.com/reader-forum/" target="_blank">Reader Forum </a></strong>was looking for Booker Ervin records. Could you go wrong with this one? <strong><a title="Booker Ervin" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=130389033801&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1090" target="_blank">Booker Ervin, Groovin&#8217; High, Prestige 7417. </a></strong>There wasn&#8217;t much description in the listing, but there was just one bidder and the price was $9.99. This won&#8217;t make the price guide, but it probably made one collector quite happy.</p>
<p>The price on this also seemed a bit low: <strong><a title="Lee Konitz Prestige" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=230470942229&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_865" target="_blank">Lee Konitz, Prestige 7004.</a></strong> This was an original New York yellow label in VG+ condition for he record and the cover. It sold for $87.59.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few more Blue Notes:</p>
<p><span id="more-2899"></span><strong><a title="Baby Face" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=120566109986&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_3367wt_850" target="_blank">Baby Face Willette, Face to Face, Blue Note 4068.</a></strong> This was a New York USA pressing &#8212; original? &#8212; that was in VG+ condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $151.30.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Flight To Jordan" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=260591909440&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1900wt_1075" target="_blank">Duke Jordan, A Flight To Jordan, Blue Note 4046.</a></strong> This was an original West 63rd Street pressing. The record was in VG++ condition and the cover was somewhere between VG+ and VG++. The price was $438.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Lee Morgan" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=260591910965&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_5097wt_1075" target="_blank">Lee Morgan, The Cooker, Blue Note 1578.</a></strong> This was an original West 63rd Street pressing in VG+ condition for the record and the cover.

There are no links to these, FYI.</p>
<p><strong>Kenny Drew, Undercurrent, Blue Note 4059.</strong> This was an original pressing with the West 63rd Street address and just one side deep groove. The record was listed in VG+ condition for both the vinyl and the cover and it sold for $285.</p>
<p><strong>Baby Face Willette, Stop and Listen, Blue Note 4084. </strong>This was an original pressing with the NY USA label. the record looked to be in VG++ condition for both the vinyl and the cover. It sold for $200.</p>
<p>This one sold for a big price, but it didn&#8217;t seem to be an original pressing:</p>
<p><span id="more-2568"></span><strong>Eric Dolphy, Out To Lunch, Blue Note 4163. </strong>This was a mono pressing with the NY USA label, which would make it original, except it had one side deep groove and one side no deep groove, so perhaps it was not a first press. No matter, it was a beautiful pristine copy and it sold for $554.</p>
<p><strong>Hank Mobley and His All Stars, Blue Note 1544. </strong>This was an original West 63rd Street pressing. The vinyl was M- and the cover was just VG. The price was $482.</p>
<p><strong>Donald Byrd, Byrd in Hand, Blue Note 4019. </strong>This was an original pressing in VG+ condition for both the record and the cover. Actually, the cover was listed as VG++, but the picture clearly showed it as VG+ and the price more accurately reflected the VG+ cover. The price was $154.99.</p>
<p><strong>Introducing Kenny Burrell, Blue Note 1523.</strong> This was an original Lexingon Avenue pressing. The vinyl was VG+ and the cover was VG. The price was $308. Also from the same artist: <strong>Kenny Burrell, Blue Lights Volume 1, Blue Note 1596.</strong> This was an original West 63rd Street pressing and of course it has the cover design by Andy Warhol. The record was listed in VG+ condition and the cover was VG++. The price was $382.</p>
<p><strong>Dizzy Reece, Blues in Trinity, Blue Note 4006.</strong> This was an original West 63rd Street pressing. The record and cover were both listed as M- The price was $646.59.</p>
<p><strong>John Jenkins with Kenny Burrell, Blue Note 1573.</strong> This was an original West 63rd Street pressing. It was listed as M- for both the vinyl and the cover. It sold for $888.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for now. I&#8217;ll be doing a few more posts on recent prices, so stay tuned.</p>The post <a href="https://jazzcollector.com/blue-note/for-the-price-guide-a-blue-note-bonanza/">For the Price Guide: A Blue Note Bonanza</a> first appeared on <a href="https://jazzcollector.com">jazzcollector.com</a>.]]></content:encoded>
