Homefromtheforest Posted August 4, 2013 Report Posted August 4, 2013 Some years ago I walked into a record store that had just purchased a HUGE classical collection..it was literally just in the door in boxes still. I got one of the first cracks at it and within the collection was quite a fair bit of modern/electronic stuff. The best part? Pretty much the entire philips silver series! I bought all the titles I needed in one stop. I think the prices ranged from $15 to $60 tops(for a few parmegianis and the luc Ferrari). Quite the day! Quote

ghost of miles Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Picked up the original Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz (6 LPs with booklet by Martin Williams) for $10 at Luna in Indianapolis. I'm a happy man... Quote
patricia Posted September 8, 2013 Report Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) Picked up a decent mono copy of Tubby the Tenor on epic for $2.00 today, the jacket is beat but the LP plays great! Also a mint Ralph Burns Bijou with Jimmy Rainey for $9 - Tubbs will get more play. I'll see your beat-up jacket copy of Tubby the Tenor and raise you my guaranteed more beat-up jacket copy of Clifford Brown Ensemble featuring Zoot Sims recorded on Vogue in 1954 in Hollywood. How beat-up, you ask? There is a HUGE bite out of the front of the jacket and the entire thing is totally scotch-taped. I was not as lucky as you were with the record though. The last cut on Side2, "Blueberry Hill" is unplayable. HOWEVER, the rest of the record plays fine. Sometimes we just have to take a chance. $5 at Recordland in Calgary.

tomatamot Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 This is Me, J.C. Heard Argo LP-633 I`m very happy to find this. Quote
JSngry Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 This is Me, J.C. Heard Argo LP-633 I`m very happy to find this. Does it say who did the cover design? And have you ever seen the kangaroo split-pack? I haven't, except in pictures. Quote
tomatamot Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) This is Me, J.C. Heard Argo LP-633 I`m very happy to find this. Does it say who did the cover design? And have you ever seen the kangaroo split-pack? I haven't, except in pictures. Cover design by W. Hopkins. This is a split pack, just an extra carton inner sheet. But the free sampler is gone, a friend of mine he has one with the sampler, a 7" 45 RPM. p.s. a lot of vocal on this album. p.s. I`ve just ordered the 45RPM Sampler.

AllenLowe Posted July 6, 2014 Report Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) I am transferring a big chunk of my LP collection to CDR, and finding out that certain things that came out on CD sound better on original LP release (no big surprise); hence I picked up the Columbia double-LP of Bird, "A Night in Birdland," which I must admit I discarded some time ago. Glad I got it back, only 4 bucks. Also has nice notes by Dan Morgenstern. Edited July 6, 2014 by AllenLowe Quote
spinlps Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 The Arrival of Kenny Dorham on Jaro. Based on what I've seen on various websites, I'm pretty sure its an original in what I would deem, conservatively, VG+ condition. Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 That's a $500 record in that condition! Great score! Quote
spinlps Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 Yeah. I found a VG++ (close to NM-) copy of Outward Bound for $40 a few weeks prior too. Not as good a deal but still... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 Wow. Don't tell Euclid about your spots... Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah. I found a VG++ (close to NM-) copy of Outward Bound for $40 a few weeks prior too. Not as good a deal but still... I'd say that's an incredible deal! Puts my $7 vg++ original of "far cry" to shame because I think "outward bound" usually goes for more money on eBay Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 Wow. Don't tell Euclid about your spots... Do you mean "Euclid records"? That guy travelled down to Vancouver here a few years back to buy one of the best 50s/60s jazz collections around..it was a retired collector I'm friends with and I got to see the collection before it went...a near complete collection of original blue notes and prestiges amongst thousands of others. He sold it for $250,000 which seems really high and a good price for the collector, but it worked out to about $30 per album so given the high number of 3 to 4 figure albums in that collection it was a good deal for Euclid too!

sidewinder Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 That's a heavy deal. No kidding - almost a pension ! Quote
