jazzhound Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 I bought a Lee Morgan lp on Ebay that had a Lexington label... got record has RVg in dead wax lexington address on cover and label but no ear mark or deep groove. Is this a Liberty pressing with a Lexington label? didn't know and now may pay the price. Quote

Is this a Liberty pressing with a Lexington label? didn't know and now may pay the price. If it has 'RVG' in the runout but no deep groove or 'ear' it is likely to be a Liberty pressing from around the time of the Liberty takeover with spare Lexington labels and cover used. More commonly seen though with '47W63rd' Libertys. Strangely enough, these pressings can sound very good indeed (especially the stereos). Quote

I paid 150. any ideas what I can get on EBAY? I wasn't aware that such Liberty pressings existed so i assumed.... I don't think the seller would be inclined to refund since he made no representations as to original. thanks Quote

If you resell it on Ebay, you'll probably find the crazy japanese to get rid of it at 300 $ ( 500 if there are two crazy japanese , 750 if the Taiwanese come along at last second.. . The dummy who thinks that deep groove means that the grooves are deep will pay 200. The other dummy who thinks Blue Note are rare will bring you back your 150. Nothing wrong can happen when you have a Lee Morgan Blue Note for sale !! Quote

clifford_thornton Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 $150 isn't that bad - I'd just keep it. Quote

Well : very simple. if an original DG sells for 1500, it plays ten times better than your 150 no DG. Quote
