Posted 12 Jul 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 18 Jul 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 18 Jul 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!

Posted 19 Jul 2014 That's a heavy deal. No kidding - almost a pension ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Jul 2014 Wow. Don't tell Euclid about your spots... Hehehe... Found the Dorham in Atlanta, the Dolphy in Springfield. Funny story about the Dolphy, I took the record to the counter and watched the owner stare at the tag, then inspect the cover and record. I fully expected him to shelve the sale but he said something along the lines of "looks like _____ (prolly pricing guy) left off a zero. Not your fault, $40 it is."

Posted 22 Jul 2014 Haha, classic. That's happened to me before, more along the lines of "oops, this isn't a reissue - okay, well, our fault." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Oct 2014 Just got home from Princeton Record Exchange. I found the entire 49 lp run of the Duke Ellington DETS series in the $1.00 bins. Took 'em all home for $49 + tax! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are the Treasury Shows right? What a steal. I'm only just starting to pick up the CD versions... Right - now being reissued on CD. Their availability on cd made this buy more a luxury than a necessity, but I had sought the set on lp for years. It's nice to finally own it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 20 Oct 2014 I wouldn't have bypassed that either. Congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 12 Dec 2014 (edited) John Eardley 'Hey There' Esquire 10" in not far off mint vinyl - 9 NZ dollars !!

Posted 21 Dec 2014 Atlanta has some great record stores, but I seldom see original-press Blue Notes here. But this afternoon I found a mono copy of Jackie McLean's One Step Beyond for six dollars. The cover is pretty beat, but the record sounds very good - just the slightest surface noise in quiet passages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Jan 2015 Original Mal / 2 on Prestige. Jacket has two random pieces of tape in front and two "Not For Sale" stamps in back. LP plays really, really nicely after cleaning on the VPI.... $20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 12 Jan 2015 The UK Fontana pressing of "eastern sounds" by Yusef Lateef for $30 Canadian in NM condition. A welcome upgrade to my late 60s/early 70s prestige issue since I'm not up for spending a few hundred on an original Moodsville issue in nice shape...
