clifford_thornton Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah, my attempts at bidding what were for me "crazy" prices never got anywhere. Got a rip of it and it's an incredible LP. Surprised BGO hasn't done anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambrasa Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 There was something about a reissue decade ago on Amancio D'silva's website (which was made by his family) but of course nothing came out of it. I gave it a listen when I saw this eBay listing and pondered if I should participate. I came to conclusion it's very good, but probably not really worth $2500. Funny thing about those holy grail records is that while they're hard to find and fetch top dollar on auctions, the moment they get reissued they kind of drop out of radar screen. Being so rare means everybody talks about them and they're remembered and cherished. Then one day they get reissued and poof! - talk of the town turns to whisper of the village.

sidewinder Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I think this is the highest I've ever seen for Hum Dono. Yikes ! Taking into account the number that were pressed though, I'm not suprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 This is the highest price I've seen for one of the Mike Taylor UK Columbia LPs.. Mike Taylor Pendulum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Wonder what these insane-looking privately pressed Babs Gonzales LPs will go for (Fred's got a few on auction)? Also I've never, ever seen the J.C. Heard on Argo. Sick! Edited May 7, 2012 by clifford_thornton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'd expect it to double that at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'd expect it to double that at least. Yeah, what's $1300 for a Blue Note these days? Bargain ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 The Mobley 1568 went up to $3,361! That's low compared to the $5,600 someone paid for a similar item last December Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yeah I remember the $5,600 one. Was that Fred Cohen or the Music Matters guys selling it? I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 It was sold by someone who had privileged access to the collection of auctioneer Leon Levitt and could pick up albums in top condition! Lucky man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 This is the highest price I've seen for one of the Mike Taylor UK Columbia LPs.. Mike Taylor Pendulum I'm in this for the music and the music on this one is transcendent. I have both the Taylor CD's but of the two, Pendulum is clearly the keeper. Of course the fact that he died at such a young age and left such a tiny recorded legacy has to make these outings all the more valuable.

I find it hard to choose between the two Mike Taylor albums, although 'Trio' has the edge I think (personal view). Both are astonishingly good - just imagine what he could have gone on to achieve if he had kept his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 There's speculation on the 'Jazz Collector' site that that one may potentially be of dubious pedigree. Hard to tell ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 A very nice investment! True Blue The shrinkwrap carried a $1,79 sticker. It sold for $1,414!

kh1958 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) This seems really odd, a $100 bid for a later Archie Shepp Impulse LP--Attica Blues, and with seven days to go. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARCHIE-SHEPP-w-MARION-BROWN-ATTICA-BLUES-STILL-SEALED-ORIGINAL-1972-IMPULSE-LP-/350808515921?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item51add12551 Edited June 8, 2013 by kh1958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I've noticed that if a seller lists dozens of LPs in a certain vain at once (usually free, creative, private press), all of them get bid up way higher than when they're listed "alone". I don't get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
