user0815 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Capitol reissue of INDEED going for over 300. It ended at $1,585. It's a Classic Records re-issue, with the faux deep-groove and addresses. Except, of course the obvious 'Classic Records under licence etc.' line at the bottom of the back cover. http://cgi.ebay.com/VG-RARE-Lee-Morgan-Ind...1QQcmdZViewItem i don't know ... while looking at the pictures i've noticed that both the cover and the record look absolutely brand new, without any signs of use or aging ... no spindle marks, no fingerprints, no yellowing, nothing ... but yet the grading is only vg+++, not mint or near mint. and you guys are complaining all the time about overgrading by ebay sellers ...

The trouble here is not the VG++++++++++++++++++++++++++++/NM--------------------------------------------- grading, or other bullshit, its the fact, that one more time an asshole sells a "Classic" as an original and another one (classic) asshole bids 1585 $ on it. With a little help from a good bunch of lucky assholes that made the price to this level. Now the happy asshole has his Lee Morgan INDEEP.

Hey sidewinder - don't mean to derail the thread for too long, but...since you mentioned that Japanese Tempo Tubby Hayes reissue - have you listened to it yet? I picked that one up from Dusty Groove as well...played it today, and...man, that thing sounds awful. I don't know if it's due to the quality of the source that was used or what, but -- eek. Give it a listen and let me know what ya think... Edited February 17, 2008 by street singer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a listen and let me know what ya think... Oh dear . It's on its way (hopefully) from Dusty along with Japanese 'Before Dawn' ( ) and that elusive Sahib Shihab 2LP ( ). I've got the 'Last Word' Japanese Tempo by the Couriers and it sounds fine - although I did find it a bit 'shrill' until I put it through the VPI machine and then it started sounding good. I've an original Tempo of 'The Jazz Couriers' so this will be a regular-play backup. To be honest, I was stunned with what they achieved with 'The Last Word' - a virtually exact facsimile visually (same grade lam cover etc., better than the real thing) and sonically it sounded up to standard. I was hoping for the same thing with 'The Jazz Couriers'. Postscript - Just put 'The Jazz Couriers' on to double-check and it sounds great - nice, fat sound. Doesn't sound like a vinyl-drop either. Probably better than the real thing. Edited February 17, 2008 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcy62 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) Does anyone has opinion about this seller and his noisy advertising policy ? No opinion, but I followed a couple of auctions of some sealed records, like Marvin Gaye, some times ago. I passed, they skyrocket to 500/600 $ Lot's of interesting, and expensive, stuff anyway.

jazzhound Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) Does anyone has opinion about this seller and his noisy advertising policy ? had some communication with this seller and seems like a nice guy, especially for a New Yorker. (some NYC dealers are real creeps). I think his marketing is to be admired. Its obviously very successful. oh yeah that Lee Morgan deal never went down. someone thankfully tipped off buyer.

Give it a listen and let me know what ya think... My copy of Japanese TAP 15 by the Jazz Couriers has just arrived - have had chance to compare it with the real thing and - it's pretty good. On both original and reissue the cymbal sound from the late Bill Eyden is a bit flat - probably roll-off on the original recording I'm afraid. On the reissue there's no attenuation of the cymbal top-end so it sounds a bit like fried eggs. The reissue does though capture the 'fat' sound of the original deep groove LP very well. In fact, with the nice silent vinyl I think I may prefer it on the whole. The fried egg effect is a bit annoying on 'Cheek To Cheek' though. It's also there on the original, but attenuated. The Japanese reissue is too good so you get warts and all ! Edited March 4, 2008 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
