The post Jazz Vinyl and a Touch of the Poet first appeared on jazzcollector.com.]]> Tina Brooks copyBeen a while since I did an update from the Jazz Collector inbox and, so we shall do so today and close with a little bit of jazz vinyl poetry, courtesy of our friend CeeDee. This one came in from Michael with a simple note: “Nice one.” And it is: Tina Brooks, True Blue, Blue Note 4041. This is an original pressing in M- condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $2,900, with 29 bids. It went from about $1,900 to the final price in the final seconds. Frankly, I’m surprised it didn’t sell for a higher price. How many M- copies of True Blue do you think there are left in the world? How many ever come up for sale? Not a lot.

Somebody also sent me this completed listing: Hank Mobley Quintet, Blue Note 1550. This was an original pressing with the New York 23 labels. It was listed in VG+ condition for both the record and the cover. The seller had a buy-it-now price of $1,250 with the option of accepting the best offer, which he did. So we don’t actually know what it sold for.

As for the jazz vinyl poetry:

CeeDee sent this along with a note, summarized as follows: “A recent reading of the excellent literary journal Brilliant Corners (Winter,2005) contains a poem — “A  Love Supreme” —  too special to delay submitting. Written by poet Robert Wrigley,it contains much of what makes LP listening such a unique experience.  I think his combination of humor and wistfulness is right on target.”

Here it is:Love Supreme
