I haven’t been on eBay for a few weeks, so let me sidle over there now to see what treasures are lingering for those willing to pay a small fortune for rare vinyl that will surely increase in value at some point in the near or distance future. Ah, right on top among the search for highest price auction records is this great record: Duke Jordan, Flight to Jordan, Blue Note 4046. This looks to be an original deep groove West 63rd Street pressing. The record looks to be in VG+ condition, based on the seller’s description. The cover is listed as VG++, but from the pictures, it looks more VG-plus-ish to me. The auction closes later today and, as of this writing, there is one bid at $1,350. From the same seller, there is Freddie Hubbard, Open Sesame, Blue Note 4040. This looks to be an original West 63rd Street pressing, probably VG++ condition for the record and VG for the cover. The bidding starts at about $1,000 and so far there is no action. Read more
