That Charlie Parker Limited Edition Swedish record from The Jazz Record Center wound up selling for $248.50. I promised to check my collection to see if I have a copy and, alas, to my pleasant surprise, I do. I usually know all of my records, but having bought a couple of collections in the past two years has left me with many items unawares and unplayed. This one, I recall, came from the Irving Kalus collection, still very near and dear to my heart. My copy of the Bird record seems to be an original in every way, except it is not a numbered edition. It still describes it as a “Limited Edition: This Record is Issued in 1000 Copies. This is Copy.” And there’s no number after that. Anyway, I have it on the turntable now. The fidelity is not great as you would expect, but the music is great. Bird started out with Anthropology, on which he played a very energetic and imaginative solo. Next is Scrapple From the Apple. Yeah, definitely some nice Bird. Really nice Bird. Ooh, now he’s playable Embraceable You. Great.

Also from that auction: John Wright, South Side Soul, Prestige 7190. This was

an original yellow label pressing with the New Jersey address. It was listed in M- condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $269.12. I debated with myself whether to post this record and the picture as well. I was looking for a record with a picture to accompany this post and this is an original Prestige that fetched a collectible price. I do have a prejudice against these organ LPs from the era, but I decided to ignore my personal prejudices for the greater good. Or something like that. BTW, I’ve cleared up some of my work and expect to be posting more frequently again. I’ve missed me.
