king ubu Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Also got an interesting looking one: "Seven Steps to Evans - A Tribute to the Compositions of Bill Evans" (MPS), by a quintet of Kenny Wheeler, Stan Sulzmann, Gordon Beck, Ron Mathewson and Tony Oxley. Never even heard of that one before! Also got an interesting looking one: "Seven Steps to Evans - A Tribute to the Compositions of Bill Evans" (MPS), by a quintet of Kenny Wheeler, Stan Sulzmann, Gordon Beck, Ron Mathewson and Tony Oxley. Never even heard of that one before! I think that one came out not too long after Evans passed away and was released under Gordon Beck's name. Nice one ! That was a case of an image not appearing... here it is again, and indeed Beck is billed first: Quote
kh1958 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 A Modern Jazz Symmposium of Music and Poetry with with Charlie Mingus (Bethleham red label mono deep groove) Nice ! Amazingly, it is virtually unplayed. The vinyl is not the same quality as Blue Note or Prestige, but the sound is the best I've heard of this album. [\how much did u pay for the bluenotes? $15 each for the Blue Notes. The Mingus was the "expensive" one, at $25. Quote

The vinyl is not the same quality as Blue Note or Prestige, but the sound is the best I've heard of this album. $25 is a pretty good deal. As you say, the vinyl of this one sounds very good. I think mine cost about £20 and I thought I'd got a pretty good deal too. Certainly not a mint copy though. Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 I picked up a stack of ten- and twelve-inch LPs today, but the coolest one was a 10" early-50's London issue of Sidney Bechet's ballet La Nuit est une Sorcière. It's a pretty deluxe edition - it's in a box with an inner sleeve and liner notes in English and French. The vinyl doesn't look like it had ever been played before I put it on the turntable tonight.

I still have the original release (a 10-inch LP on French Vogue) somewhere. I have not listened to it in years! Quote
kh1958 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 My recent Blue Note luck continued, as yesterday I found a pretty nice W.63rd mono copy of Cannonball Adderley's Somethin' Else. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Sounds like the digging in Dallas is not bad.You would never, ever find records like that in Austin for anything approaching a fair price - much less "cheap." Quote
kh1958 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) I go through long periods of finding very little. I also think there is probably less competition for jazz records in Dallas than in Austin (an Ornette Coleman concert in Dallas would probably be half empty) but probably also a greater potential supply, given that Austin was a pretty small town in the '50s-'60s. This is somewhat unprecedented for me, in that in the last few weeks, I've found five original Blue Notes in good shape for a total of $110--the only pricier one being a Jimmy Smith for $50, but it is in perfect condition.

clifford_thornton Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Yeah, good point. I'll have to go up there sometime and see what I can come away with :-) If they're in fine condition that's all the better - rarely are killer records you find in shops here in anything approaching collectible shape. Quote
kh1958 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Yes, I try not to get too excited when I see something good, as most of the time the vinyl has been abused. One point to note is that one need not waste one's time at the HPB in Plano, as I've always found that one to be stripped clean, as if invaded by the jazz equivalent of African army ants. I wonder why (ha ha)? Quote
sidewinder Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Picked up the Freddie Hubbard Pablo Live Northsea 1980 2LP set today, brand spanking mint for £3 ! Quote
king ubu Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 The Modern Jazz Quartet - Blues at Carnegie Hall in very nice condition... haven't played it yet, but love to cover... seems to be a 1973-75 pressing (Rockefeller Plaza address on green/orange label with white horizontal band in the middle). Also the 10" Norgran MGN-2: "The Dizzy Gillespie - Stan Getz Sextet" (contains "It Don't Mean a Thing", "I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart", "Exactly Like You" and "Talk of the Town"). Seems to be original, I assume, but it has a couple of annoying stickers - one front saying "Hi-Fi Recording", one back with a price tag - and on the back another, handwritten price tag. None too shabby for less than 10$, I guess. Quote
Clunky Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 Popped into local Shelter, £20 got the following Dave Brubeck- Jazz goes to college- Columbia 6 eye- very clean Fairweather-Brown All Stars -Doctor McJazz- Lansdowne Jazz series ,Columbia UK -stereo The Beatles "White Album" - 1st pressing stereo No 0458868- complete with inserts. Solid VG+ condition Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the abstract... Impulse UK from 1976- very quiet pressing Louis Stewart - Out on his own- Livia (Eire 1977) sleeve tatty but vinyl NM Turns out I had the Brubeck as UK Phillips but the 6 eye sounds better. The White Album is my third copy, already have a first edition Mono, a 1980s stereo re-press, _ I think that's enough copies - not even my fav Beatles album ( that would be Revolver or Rubber Soul) Quote
sidewinder Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the abstract... Impulse UK from 1976- very quiet pressing That was the first version of that one I bought - still have it. The US orig. is better sounding but the 70s UK Impulse is fine. Turns out they were working from an early generation set of master tapes I believe, for those 70s reissues. Still remember the excitement of picking up that one and 'Africa Brass' up in Taunton back in 1976 (at a vinyl emporium now long gone). Cost was about £3.50 each - not cheap back then. They came with US sleeve liners too (with lots of 'foxing'). I'll stick with my Beatles Mono Box CDs for the 'White Album'. Edited October 27, 2011 by sidewinder Quote
kh1958 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 I continued my lucky Blue Note streak by finding a copy of Ornettte Coleman At the Golden Circle Volume 2 (NY USA). Quote
marcello Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 I'm not sure if this qualifies, but I picked up a used copy of Gary Giddins' "Satchmo: The Genius of Louis Armstrong" that was inscribed by Giddins to John Lewis and his wife Mirjana. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Now we know someone who doesn't want the book. Quote

colinmce Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 For some reason I was the sole bidder on a perfectly fine looking copy of Afternoon of a Georgia Faun: 98 cents. There was another, plain old copy with multiple bidders up to nearly $25. Quote
sidewinder Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 did i say yet it was 10 bucks ? Yeah - but what sort of condition was it in? Quote
