The post Seconds Anyone? first appeared on jazzcollector.com.]]> Going deeper into the Jazz Collector eBay watch list, we have Mal Waldron, Mal-1, Prestige 7090. This was an original New York yellow label. The seller graded the record and the cover as VG+. Based on the pictures, I would grade the cover VG. The final price was $776. The same seller had this one: Freddie Hubbard, Open Sesame, Blue Note 4040.This was an interesting one, IMHO. No deep groove, no ear, no West 63rd Street address. So, was it issued by Liberty using old labels, or by the original Blue Note using old labels? In either case, it wasn’t an original. But it was in nice condition, M- for the record, close to M- for the cover. The final price was $760. This seller also had that later pressing Introducing Lee Morgan on Savoy that we spotlighted a few days ago How Many Original Copies of Rare Jazz Vinyl Have Survived (And Other Existential Questions). When we highlighted this record, the bidding was in the $400 range. The final price was $797.99. Perhaps I (and others?) will have to adjust my expectations of what a nice second pressing might command in today’s market. Good for the sellers, and good for the buyers if they are happy.

This time of year I seem to notice more of these records on eBay: Vince Guaraldi, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Fantasy 85019. Not sure if there are more available this time of year, or if it’s just that I notice them more. Anyway, this looked to be an original stereo pressing listed in VG+ condition for the record and the cover, still in the original shrink wrap. The seller had a start price of about $500 and didn’t get any bids.

Finally, let’s look at one more from those recent Carolina Soul auctions: Black Unity Trio, Al-Fatihah, Salaam Records 777. This was an original pressing listed in VG++ condition for the record and VG for the cover. It sold for $4,849.99, which must make it pretty rare. Not something I’ve ever heard or heard of until now.
