The post The $3,000 Bin and More first appeared on jazzcollector.com.]]> Here we have Lee Morgan Volume 3, Blue Note 1557. This was another one of those records from the recent and ongoing auctions from the seller Carolina Soul. This was an original West 63rd Street pressing that was in VG+ condition for the record and VG- for the cover. The front and back of the cover were signed by Benny Golson, who plays tenor on the record and wrote the compositions and arrangements. I’m not sure if the presence of the signature adds or detracts from the interest in the record from collectors. This copy sold for $1,259.56. The Benny Golson signature reminded me of the Steven Spielberg “The Terminal” with Tom Hanks, in which a Benny Golson autograph plays a prominent role, believe it or not. If the record had been signed by Lee Morgan, it would have gotten a lot more interest, right? Perhaps even in the $3,000 bin like this one. Tubby Hayes Quintet, After Lights Out, Tempo TAP 6. This was an original British pressing that looked to be in M- condition for the record and VG++ or VG+ for the cover. The final price was about $3,210.

Here are a few jazz vinyl auctions I’m watching that will close this week:

Beverly Kenney Sings With Jimmy Jones and the Basie-Ites, Roost 2218. This is an original pressing listed in EX condition for the record and VG for the cover. The start price is $400 and so far there are no bidders.

Pete LaRoca, Basra, Blue Note 4205. This is an original New York USA pressing listed in VG+ condition for both the record and the cover. The bidding is already in the $750 range.

Zoot Sims – Bob Brookmeyer Octet, Stretching Out, United Artists 4023. This looks to be an original red label mono pressing. The record is listed in M- condition and the cover is Ex. I’ve had this record for years and it wasn’t until I began typing this and looked at the back cover that I realized Brookmeyer was a co-leader of the date. I just assumed it was Zoot and Al Cohn.
