I would caution you against doing this. After a thread similar to this appeared on another site, an ebay dealer that was slammed threatened the owners with legal action if the posts weren't removed. I would hate to see this happen to our friends here. Maybe this is best done in private. Now i understand why those guys have always 100 % positive feedback !

Yes , i'll second that too. We can share that privately.

Okay its not a Mosaic... but my favourite depressive album is "Angel Song" on ECM, with Lee Konitz, Wheeler, and Frisell and another one...

Sell at Ebay.com ! I've sold on Ebay already, now and then. Never had a problem to be viewed, and to sell overseas (i'm in France). You shouldn't have any.

I always plan to dig this one out and give it a spin. Bought a DG copy in 1998, and listened it only two or three times. With Don Friedman, one of my favourist pianists.

That's why, eventually, i'm still very happy to collect records, even if i complain sometimes. We can still buy plenty of them, at least 95 % of what we want.

I think if you are refund, left no negative, whatever. And if you leave neg, (even legitimate) be prepared to get one in return...

Peter, i absolutely agree with you regarding Dexter. I remember some 4133, 4112 auctionned at 400 or 500 $ two years ago ! Now it is affordable again. Same for Undercurrent which i saw at 900 $ : now it is at 350/ 500. True Blue sold often for 2000 : now it is at 1500. Seems that as soon as the bunch of crazy bidder has the item, price decrease.

jazz_jazz_jazz : i'm not surprised by your bad surprise. Their adds are agressive, bad quality pictures (i suppose in purpose) plenty of label listed in each add , (so you see them everywhere, whatever search you do), trashed covers listed VG+ etc...will never buy from them. Donaepapi : one experience. An accurately described Bill Evans record. Never buy other.

I don't think that something that has grown up so fast will keep on eternally. I started collecting records in 1997, and i know i have made some good investment (if i SELL, of course). At more than 2 k, the investment is not so evident...Anyway. "We are in the middle of the croud, trying to guess what the croud will do", as Mr Keynes said about the stock market.

Yes, but that mood is exactly why I like much of what ECM releases...well, did release, actually. Some of the newer issues put me to sleep (Stanko----Lontano and Suspended Night), or bore me (Katche----Neighborhood). What sets this record apart, I feel, is that all the typical atmospheres are present, but the compositions and arrangements are very engaging and memorable. Maybe it's not new, as you say. But to me it's a lot better. Ubu the King - -would LOVE a chance to listen to that broadcast you mention. Another record you may like (not the same music, but the same mood) is Bobo Stenson's "Goodbye" on ECM too.

Actually Will Davis was Detroit area based pianist. The record is listed here : http://www.iconnect.net/home/bsnpubs/sue.html

Désolé, Michel! It's one of thousands of jazz vinyls I missed -_- aaaargh.... this is really a mysterious one. I've never seen it, not even on Ebay. But i know it does exist. Probably not unforgettable music. Just my obsession...

Brownie, do you have : Will Davis Trio "have mood, will call" on SUE 1011 ? ? Just in case : i'd like to see the cover once in my life...

The record is in the same mood as many ECM release : aerial, slow, cool, clinic, and...IMO too long ! interesting music, 100 % profesionnal, top rank musicians.... but....nothing really new.

And sometimes you find an Acker Bilk sandwiched in a Gil Mellé gem disguise !

The life and art of Fausto Papetti are also well documented. -_-

In France (and maybe Europe) there is always a good bunch of Mr Acker Bilk in every jazz bin !!

I've been listening to the shit out of that one lately. Historically liked the "blue" one the best of the pre-free Impulses, but this one is far eclipsing it. Perhaps because this girl I'm dating has her own copy on frequent rotation... The Blue (A-21) is my favourite Cotrane ! the blue (A-21) is the beginning of the journey, its an essential coltrane recording IMO ! And Crescent IS also...But the Blue, the blue...the Blue is my favourite... I'm sure the girl has also the Blue (A-21).

obviously. definitely. seriously. absolutely.

Prices are higher in Japan, because life is much more expensive in Japan generally speaking... And i agree that some "BIN" records do no sell : fortunately, there is still some autoregulation among collectors. But i also I remember this True Blue priced at bin 2500 $ in Atomic. Three weeks.. and someone bought it eventually.... definitely, i will never understand this rush towards so called rare Blue Notes. But i really think that the beginning of the crazyness was around 2000. No conspiracy of course, just some rememberings : the first auctions catalogues in Paris Jazz Corner, in october 1999 : i was an active bidder on the first auction. I talked to everyone at the staff in PJC : everybody was astounded by the unexpected high bids : 500, 600, 1000... And then the train was gone...

Yellow lbl NY "Saxophone Colossus" has sold 10 times in NM condition since 2004. There are around 40 (all grades) that are listed on Popsike. "Once in a lifetime" opportunity....

I think it is pathetic to see what record collecting has become in the recent years. The guy who sells this record doesn't even know what he's selling (and he's proud of that). But he has probably seen that htis record goes for 400/500 so he decides "let's go for 1500". In this case, he doesn't know that Transition is not Blue Note, means, that there are probably no collectors who are insane enough to pay three times the price, as it is the case with Blue Note. So he will not sell it, and lower the price next week.. But have you noticed those insane "buy it now" prices for 2nd, 3rd, no DG Riverside or Emarcy ? This is totally absurd. But who is responsible for that ? On one hand, the responsible for this absurdity are mainly those japanese bidders : at the beginning of years 2000's their "three times the prices" bidding policy have turned all this into a ridiculous mess. And everybody did the same. Now you see US, European bid three times the price. On the other hands, the aggressive marketing policy of Ebay sellers is also responsible : "it's the last time you'll see such a beautiful copy", "never offered in such pristine condition" "near archival quality of this rare LP" (i especially like the "near archival" = means that you'll store it near your shelves ?) "near Mint Minus" "VG++++++++" "A chance in a lifetime to own a piece of legend" , when actually there are three for sale at the same time, and 10 a year...

Sorry : doug W.
