Nite Flight by Kenny Drew

[tooter]

Trying to do some research on my modest LP collection and looking up offer prices Gemm, Music Stack, etc I ran into a complete blank in respect of the album "Nite Flight" by Kenny Drew, with Thad Jones, Bob Berg, George Mraz and Jimmy Cobb. I tried "Night" but still no result - nothing using Google either. I tried AMG but nothing there that I could find.

Could anyone tell me if it is rare and how much it might be worth? Steeplechase - 1977.

Sorry - I've just, after all this time, noticed that the cover says "Lite Flight", not "Nite Flight". Back to the drawing board!

Nite or Lite, I'ld buy it for a buck, if you really want to sell it...

Seriously, doubt that it's worth much. It used to be a pretty common vinyl. And it's been reissued on CD (with one additional alternate track). Not a collectors' item in any way.

Keep that one and enjoy it!

Still nothing on the LP, although it has been issued on CD. Quite a nice album, though.

$5 - $10 would be a realistic price in NM-/NM- cond.

Thanks, Brownie - you posted as I was messing about here. I'm considering getting rid of my entire vinyl collection in one go, mainly due to pressure from a certain direction. Not that it's all that big or worth all that much, as I keep saying.

Thanks to you too, Dmitry. Plenty of helpful advice as usual.

I was even more erratic than I thought - not only did I put "Nite" for "Lite", but also "Flight" for "Flite". Got it right at last, I think, but not certain.

If it's nothing valuable[if it is, then eBay is unbeatable], just make up a list of whatever you got, then post a note in a nearby university's school of music and an ad in the local paper that you want to sell the whole collectio, nothing piece meal. If you're thinking of selling to a used record dealer, you'll get pittance.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the advice, Dmitry. I am in touch with a dealer but am sure you are right about the pittance. I don't have to accept any offer of course but one I am for for taking the easy way out usually. Your suggestion about a university is interesting though - I will give it some thought.
