The noted author, jazz journalist and TV newsman Doug Ramsey passed away in his sleep early this morning, according to his son Paul. He was 91. Ramsey's contributions to jazz journalism are immense, especially his landmark biography of Paul Desmond, Take Five: The Public and Private Lives of Paul Desmond.  

I get that a sealed vintage record is an unknown LP. I also get that discogs doesn't allow you to post a record for sale unless you link it to one of the LPs released. But when the LP is listed with specifics like Van Gelder in the dead wax, then it's just not right. For instance, they're selling this: https://www.discogs.com/shop/item/4135184193 Clicking the "View Release" button brings you to an LP described as having: Matrix / Runout (Side A runout): BST-84058-A LW RVG STEREO Matrix / Runout (Side B runout): BST-84058-B · LW RVG STEREO If this were the actual record inside that sealed jacket, it would be a good deal at $90. But when you open and find that it's not a Van Gelder cut, can you return it? Unlikely. Stereo Jack's used to sell vintage sealed records for pretty cheap for this reason. I bought quite a few of them over the years and I never lucked into a Van Gelder Blue Note LP. It's like buying sealed packs of baseball cards and hoping it contains a rare card.
