Brew Moore in Europe, Debut 127. This is the original Danish pressing, quite hard to find. The record was in VG++ condition and the cover was M-. The price was $373.

Here Comes Louis Smith, Blue Note 1584. This is one of those where you had to look carefully at the listing. The record is listed in Ex+/N- condition and the cover as Ex. The picture shows that the cover has tape all around it, so if I were grading the best I’d give it is a VG-. It would also make me wary about the condition of the vinyl, if the seller considers this cover as excellent. Potential buyers had some of  the same concerns, it seems. The record sold for $495.

Kenny Burrell, Blue Note 1543. This looks to be an original Lexington Avenue pressing — the last of the original Lexingtons, right? — and it seemed to be in VG+ condition for the record and VG++ for the cover. It has the Andy Warhol cover and it sold for $1,135.

Lee Morgan Sextet, Blue Note 1541. This is also a Lexington Avenue pressing. The record was was described as VG++ condition and the cover looked VG minus — or worse — based on the pictures. This one sold for $677. I have a feeling there will be a disappointed buyer at that price at that condition.

Here’s a later Blue Note: Larry Young, Unity, Blue Note 4221. This was an original New York USA mono pressing. The record was listed in M- condition and the cover as VG+. The price was $357.99.

Ernie Henry, Seven Standards and a Blues, Riverside 248. This was an original pressing with the blue label, deep grooves, etc. It was sold by a reputable seller and was in M- condition, for both the record and the cover. And it got quite a hefty price: $564.32.

Brew Moore Quintet, Fantasy 3-222. This was an original pressing that looked to be in M- condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $304.

Mal Waldron, Left Alone, Bethlehem 6045. This was an original red label pressing. The vinyl

was VG+ and the cover was VG++. The price was $825.

Eric Dolphy, Outward Bound, New Jazz 8236. This was an original purple label pressing with the deep grooves. It was listed in M- condition for both the vinyl and the cover. It sold for $380.

Clifford Brown and Max Roach, Brown and Roach, Inc., Emarcy 36008. This was an original deep groove pressing with the blue label and drummer logo. The vinyl was in VG++ condition. The cover was VG+. The price was $100.

This beauty was sold by Euclid Records: Ernie Henry, 7 Standards and a Blues, Riverside, Riverside 248. This was an original blue label pressing in near mint condition for both the cover and the vinyl. The price was $564.32. I think that sets a record for this LP, but

how do you put a price on such pristine condition? I do have a question: Does anyone know exactly at which point Riverside switched from white labels to blue? It’s sometime in the 240s, but I’m not quite sure which record marks the switching point. This was another gem from Euclid: The Brew Moore Quintet, Fantasy 3-222. This was an original red label pressing in M- condition for both the vinyl and the cover. The price was $304.
