Catching Up: Norgran, Clef, Verve

Playing some more catchup on the Jazz Collector Price Guide:

This one sold for quite a tidy sum a few weeks back, particularly for a Verve: Ben Webster Soulville, Verve 8274. This was an original pressing in M- condition. This one has a David Stone Martin cover. I’d normally expect this to sell for maybe $100 in this condition. This one sold for $463.99. Here’s a nice Norgran: Lester Young, Jazz Giants ’56, Norgran 1056. This was a original yellow label pressing with the heavy vinyl. The record was in M- condition and the cover was VG++. The price was $105.15. And another nice Norgran:

Johnny Hodges, Creamy, Norgran 1045. We presume this was an original yellow label pressing, although the seller did not show a picture of the label and did not include the label color in his description. Perhaps we are being generous. The vinyl was VG++ and the cover was VG+. The price was $161.50, so we’ll also presume that the winning bidder thought this was an original yellow label pressing as well.

We’ll finish this batch off with: Flip Phillips, Flip Wails, Clef 691. This was an original pressing from Euclid Records and it was listed in M- condition for both the record and the cover. The price was $152.50.
