Hardbopjazz Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 Newsflash - the Sonny Clark fetched $3.5k Sonny Clark LP Wow. 3.5k. I once wrote here that I went to a company picnic. There was a DJ that had his booth all plastered with 45's and LP's, both the album covers and records. He had some old Blue Note with 47 W 63rd pressed on the covers. Damn, if only he knew what they would have sold for. I don't the condition the LP's were in before he stapled them to some 2 by 4's. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Newsflash - the Sonny Clark fetched $3.5k Sonny Clark LP Wonder if they'll pay up? That seems crazy, but not improbable these days... Quote
Tom in RI Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Here's a great deal at the moment. A fine lp, wonder if it has the inserts. I am not the seller. http://cgi.ebay.com/HYDE-PARK-AFTER-DARK-V...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
brownie Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 A fine lp, wonder if it has the inserts. Only one insert in my copy, the four-page insert with all those amazing photos of various jams. Were they more inserts? At this prize, the LP is a steal! Quote
Tom in RI Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 No Brownie, I don't think there was more than one (there may have been a sheet advirtising Beehive t-shirts with well known fashion plate, Ray Haynes, modelling). It was the 4 page set of photos I meant to refer to. Quote
brownie Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) $3,000 for this ultra rare René Urtreger LP on Versailles René Urtreger Trio Glad I found recently an exact Japanese vinyl replica of this excellent session for one hundredth of the winning bid!

clifford_thornton Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Wow. That beats those Pretoria Arvanitas LPs by a lot! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Considering that the actual mono takes for this LP are different, and remain unissued, I don't see the real value in having a "Mono" version of this one... Conquistador Granted, I've never seen a mono pressing of it, but really, it doesn't look like anybody's biting. Edited February 7, 2006 by clifford_thornton Quote

Conquistador Granted, I've never seen a mono pressing of it, but really, it doesn't look like anybody's biting. I have a bunch of these Mono promos from the early Liberty era. They are DJ "fold-downs" of the stereo mix for radio play (I wonder how much air time Cecil Taylor was getting back in '67?). None of them have the RVG in the dead wax, but they sound fine. The only reason to buy them is because you collect all that is Blue Note. That's why I have them, but I wouldn't pay more than $20 for any of them . . . . Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Except Hi Voltage seems to go for quite a bit in that format. Not my favorite Mobley by a long stretch... Quote

I assume these are somehow different than the New York 4200s with Liberty jackets (e.g. Let 'Em Roll, Sweet Honeybee, Unit Structures, Stick-Up)? I have a nice stereo Liberty/RVG of Conquistador ($15), so the mono wouldn't really be an upgrade. Of course, Atomic probably wants $50. Edited February 8, 2006 by clifford_thornton Quote
EKE BBB Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 For the krazy vinyl junkies.... Spanish Telefunken EP taken from the European All Stars 1961 disc ---> starting bid $149.00 !!! Quote
Guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 There is currently a Gene Krupa 78 on eBay going for $1,499. Pressed on Swiss Columbia. To Be or Not to Be-Bop. Supposedly only 3 copies in existance and never released. I checked one of my Collectables Krupa CDs, Ballads, Boogie and Bop and this song is included on one of the tracks. Hmmmmmm. There is also an obscure Dizzy Gillespie recording of Groovin' High, Guild 1001 featuring Dexter Gordon instead of Charlie Parker. Found this on an Indigo CD of the same title, and also on a Smithsonian 2 LP set I got on eBay for $20. Is someone really gonna bid on this? There are also some sketchy auctions currently on eBay for The Complete Keynote Collection. Quote

Found this on an Indigo CD of the same title, and also on a Smithsonian 2 LP set I got on eBay for $20. Is someone really gonna bid on this? The track was not known to exist and was not listed in discographies until one turned up in the 1970's and was issued on a Phoenix LP. I believe that there were very few copies pressed. I've had 20-30 copies of the Guild 78 pass through my hands over the years, and it's always the common (Parker) take. Of course, once something is issued, then it can be dubbed and reissued to death, but the original is still rare. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Church Number Nine Shit, I paid a fifth of what this went for and felt I was "going for it!" Great Frank Wright session, but jeez, this is bananas... Quote

Great Frank Wright session, but jeez, this is bananas... Always loved the Frank Wright ESPs even though they has my wife running from the room screaming when I "crank" them up!! They only sound good to me LOUD--know what I mean? She just left for the store--think I'll pull one out and BLAST it! Edited February 19, 2006 by Allan Songer Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 I agree with you on that! The Americas are pretty mellow, but the BYG, ESPs and Calumet are all heavy! Never felt like the Center of the World records lived up to their potential, however... Quote

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) I would have liked to have made a move on this Bill Evans set today....but after consulting the shipping chart, it would have been an act of 'eBay madness' on my part. What? some $70+? Edited March 2, 2006 by Son-of-a-Weizen Quote
