The post Jazz Vinyl on a Summer’s Day first appeared on jazzcollector.com.]]> Where did I leave off before I was so rudely interrupted by the summer? Oh yeah, Freddie Redd, Shades of Redd, Blue Note 4045. Ex-plus record, some questions about the cover, overall consensus that this was not the copy to purchase after waiting for 45-plus years. Reality would have bitten anyway, because the final price was $1,624, which would have exceeded any reasonable price I would have been willing to pay. Of course, what is reasonable to me seems to be pretty far out of whack with what is reasonable in today’s overall market. I think I’ll solace myself with listening to my lovely Japanese pressing this evening. In the end, it’s about the music anyway, isn’t it? Or is it? This is another one on my so-called want list, meaning it is an original pressing I don’t own: Here Comes Louis Smith, Blue Note 1584. This one is listed as VG++ for both the record and the cover and it has a start price of about $1,600. There are more than four days left on the auction and so far there are no bidders.

And while we’re on the list of original records I don’t own, we can also find Lou Donaldson, Quartet, Quintet, Sextet, Blue Note 1537. This looks to be an original Lexington Avenue pressing in E- condition for both the record and the cover. E- might be acceptable to me, if I knew what it actually meant. This bidding is “only” around $200 with about one day left on the auction. We’ll close today with a Prestige, Gil Melle Plays Primitive Modern, Prestige 7040. This is an original New York yellow label pressing. The record is listed as VG+ and the cover is VG. The start price is $150. So far there are no bidders. This record has never been that highly sought-after as a collectible so in that condition at that price, I would be surprised if there is a lot of interest.
