Here’s another one I have my eye on: J.R. Monterose, Blue Note 1536. This is an original Lexington Avenue pressing. The record is listed in VG+ condition with slight surface noise in spots. The cover looks to be pretty nice, perhaps even VG++.  I say I have my eye on this record because it is one I could potentially be interested in buying, although regular readers will note that the price is already out of my comfort zone, with a $600 bid that has not yet met the seller’s reserve price. As I see records like this, and remember back to when I first started watching records on eBay, the value keeps going up and up, so perhaps we will all look back in 10 years and look at the current prices as bargains. Then again, I do have a United Artists pressing of this record and, while it will be less fun to look it, it will be just fine if I ever get the motivation to actually put it on the turntable.

Finally, there is Curtis Fuller, Volume 3, Blue Note 1583. This is an original deep groove mono pressing. The record is listed in VG++ condition and the cover is VG. The bidding is at $375, with five bidders and 26 bids. Lots of action on this one, which closes tomorrow.
