It may be heresy in this particular thread - but I find the 2CD set is the way to go with the Gil Melle.. Failing that - the King pressing. I think mine was £10. Does your turntable play CDs? I know Mosaic has thrown in the towel on producing LPs, but imagine how fast that 2 CD set would sell out as a 4 LP box!! I'd buy 2 of them and I don't even collect LPs anymore!

Larry Coryell- Barefoot Boy...........over and over again. Can anyone recommend anything similar? It reminds me of some of the late 60s Chico Hamilton's on Impulse, but i have those already.

Hey, we were trying to answer at your question, all the guys checked out their copy of Silver and wroted down informations, and add some suggestions coming from personal experience, no need to be rude. Nobody here said you're trying to fraud anybody. Or I misunderstood the tone of your post WOW, I think you're not reading me right or I'm not expressing myself right. It seems that there are too many possibilites and the only way to be sure is to open it. I just re-read my post and see that it could be read sarcastically, but that was NOT the way it was intended. I just now that I ALWAYS pay extra for shrinkwrap and I would definitely pay extra for a sealed copy for myself if I knew it was an original (and also knew that it wasn't a reseal). But that seems to be too many ifs and buts. I think it is probably best to lay the cards out on the table. But for collector geekiness sake, I'd love for the next owner to know that regardless of what pressing it is.......it was sealed until some time in late 2007 or early 2008. I sure hope it is an unplayed Deep Groove 1st pressing.

I will create a short video of me opening to verify the pressing so that anyone who puts a premium on a SEALED copy can be sure that it was , until recently, sealed. Thanks again for all the input.

"Human hearing has been analyzed for highly optimized subsonic filter circuit design." I'm not sure what this means, but I like the pretty face, too. I also understand that the matte black box should be preferable and in a blindfold test......who knows. But it sure is pretty, in a very Teutonic sort of way.

And not even a first press : apparently not flat edge, not kakubuchi. But some switch their brain to "stanby" as soon as it reads "deep groove", "blue note" "767 lex" etc...Moreover if its from Euclid. Those guys can sell everything at highest prices. I don't even bids on their records for that reason !! (anyway they also have nice records in buy it now) Have you noticed that the increase of Blue Note prices are mainly due NEW ebayers (low feedback) from Japan... Well.. How many are they ? I think there are a lot of new eBay buyers from Japan because they are tired of paying "top" dollar. You think the eBay prices are high? A lot of the names of the high bidders that you see over and over again are Japanese record dealers. They are buying these and marking them up and re-selling them!

I know it's been re-issued a bunch of times. I'm just wondering if the later pressings had addresses on the back cover. I wish I still had my record collection so I could check a bunch of records. If anyone has any of the Blue Notes from the high 1500s to the low to mid 4000's I'd love to know if later pressings from the NY, USA label variation still had no address on the back cover or if they re-laid out the cover and added the address. I know I can't be certain which pressing is inside a sealed cover......just trying to learn a little and do some detective work. Can anyone "weigh" in on the subject of wether or not a W 63rd St. pressing weighs differently than a New York, USA. I'm sure it weighs more than a Liberty pressing. I know this is getting geeky, but that seems to be a big part of collecting. Thanks again to everyone for weighing in the subject.

Really? Where? On Ebay ! I 've got this Lp set for $58 , and the condition of the Box/LP is NM , Blue Note Sessions The "trad" sets have never sold for the crazy money of the bop sets. I guarantee Mosaic vinyl values are not falling. I'll pay almost any price someone is asking for theirs and still resell it for a profit.

And what an Unholy mess of a section it is. At least with the CD section, it is reasonably easy to tell what pressing of a CD you are getting. Not that it matters quite as much with CDs. Support your local record shop.

Kenny Dorham - Quiet Kenny

Hi all, I am selling some rare Jazz LPs for a friend. I have been in the used record business for 15 years so I am NOT a newbie. However, I have one that is a bit perplexing. Is there any way I can tell what pressing of Horace Silver's "Further Explorations" is contained within the factory sealed cover? There is no address at the bottom of the back cover. It is quite heavy when compared to some Liberty pressings I have lying about. I am fairly certain that it will be a 63rd St. original, but could it also be a NY, USA? It is a HIGH FIDELITY mono pressing of 1589. If any users here own NEW York, USA and/or 63rd St. pressings, I'd love to hear what address if any is on the bottom of the back cover. I am not entertaining offers for this, so please don't ask. Hopefully we can all get a little education on this rarity. Thanks in advance. In return for everyone's help, I will be offering up some CDs for the Pay-it forward thread. Thanks again to all for their assistance and happy listening.
