Biensur Sidewinder, they are french for something, aren't they? Do you really think they export the best cheese and champagne? Quote

Biensur Sidewinder, they are french for something, aren't they? Do you really think they export the best cheese and champagne? At the end of the XXth, and the beginning of XXIth century we also produced the "champagne football" : the factory has closed a long time ago. Quote

This pressing is from around 1960 or later. Quote

Yet a glance at popsike shows that so many of these '47W63rd' imposters are fetching $2-3k plus. The world has gone mad ! Heck, this one even has a seam split too. I guess that adds to the cachet..

This pressing is from around 1960 or later. No. This record has been issued originally on two label variations : ONE with the 47W63rd labels on both sides (sold here), ANOTHER ONE with mixed labels NY23 / 47W63rd. Those two were issued at the same time using a stock of old and recent labels. Both labels variations are original editions. Last Lexigton labels both sides were around 1542/1543. This 3300 $ record is an original pressing, sold by a very reputable NYC dealer. This record, was a poor seller among Mobley's records, and has never been reissued by Blue Note in the 60's. It only exists on this two forms. It is considered as one of the rarest Blue Note records. Depending on sources, between 600 and 2000 copies have been pressed. Edited July 12, 2008 by Michel Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 Glad I'm not the only one who disagreed (if in my own head, privately) with the Lexington statement. I believe this is one of the more expensive copies of it I've seen, though. Quote

Getting the whole Blue Note succession of labels/addresses, etc is something I'll never get straight! The record was recorded (and the catalog number was assigned) in 1957. Does anybody know when the record was actually pressed and released? And, FWIW, I never intended to impugn the integrity of Fred Cohen & the Jazz Record Center. I've known Fred for 30 years, and he most certainly knows his stuff. Quote

michel1969 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 For a supposedly 'rare' record, there seem to be lots of these around at the moment ! MG Definitely. Same old story with Blue Note records. Rarity is a marketing concept. Demand remain strong anyway. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 Probably more than a thousand pressed. I feel like I've seen it a number of times on offer over the past few years. Quote
