Here are a few we’re watching on eBay now, starting with Introducing Lee Morgan, Savoy 12091. This is an original red label pressing listed in VG condition for the record and VG+ for the cover. The price is about $190 and the auction closes later today.

Art Blakey, The Jazz Messengers at the Cafe Bohemia, Volume 2, Blue Note 1508. This is an original Lexington Avenue pressing. The record is in VG+ condition and the cover is VG++. The auction closes today and the bidding is in the $280 range.

Gene Ammons, All Star Sessions, Prestige 7050. This is an original New York yellow label pressing. The record is in VG+ condition and the cover is VG++. The description makes mention of surface noise and “light pops & crackles” so it might be a little scary as to what VG+ means. The starting bid is about $250 and so far there are no takers.

A Date With Jimmy Smith, Volume 2, Blue Note 1548. This was in near mint condition and it was sold by the same seller who sold those pristine JJ Johnson records the other day. This one sold for $792. The record features Hank Mobley, Lou Donaldson and Donald Byrd, but this is still a new high price tag for it, at least for the time we’ve been watching it.

This one was from Euclid Records: The Fabulous Fats Navarro, Volume 1, Blue Note 1531. This was an original Lexington Avenue pressing. It was listed as M- condition for both

the record and the cover. It sold for $711.01.

Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers, Blue Note 1518. This was an original Lexington Avenue pressing. The record was M- and the cover was VG++. The price was $561.01.

Bud Powell, The Scene Changes, Blue Note 4009. This was an original West 63rd Street pressing. The record and cove were both listed in M- condition. The price was $549.

Jimmy Smith at the Organ, Blue Note 1551. This was an original West 63rd pressing. The record and cover were M-. The price was $522.

The Jazz Messengers at the Cafe Bohemia Volume 1, Blue Note 1507. This was an original pressing in M- condition. The price was $517.

I could go on, and perhaps I will later, but you get the point. Condition is critical, and if you have the condition, and it’s an original vintage Blue Note, the market has probably never been higher.
