Sonny Rollins Plays, Period 1204. This was an original  deep-groove pressing listed in M- condition for the record and the cover, although the cover seemed slightly less to me. I’d love to own this record someday. Hard to imagine that it’s eluded me for more than 40 years, but that’s part of the joy of collecting, isn’t it: To always have something to look forward to. This one sold for $1,136.11.

Unissued Dizzy Gillespie on Four Acetates. This was the one being sold by The Jazz Record Center, from a pair of concerts at Cornell University in 1947 and 1948. I had toyed with the idea of purchasing them, digitizing them and making them public on Jazz Collector, but then I got involved with other stuff and lost track. They wound up selling for $795. I might have gone that high. Let’s see if the buyer has any plans for them. Buyer — are you a Jazz Collector reader?
