Most of the Blue Notes etc., are going on the low side these days. This one had 38-bids!"Man is the only animal that blushes - or needs to" Mark Twain

YOu have to remember that there are 500 deep groove blue label copies for every white label. But even so, a DEAD MINT one of these should top out at about $750. I bought a really nice VG+ copy only about a year ago for a hundred bucks that plays nice and quiet. Nutty.
And my neighbor has two copies in his 10000+ jazz collection. Friedhelm, RIP.
I've never seen or heard of a Riverside flat edge before. I assume that is why it brought such a price.
All of the 10" issues I have are flat edge and a couple of the early white-label pressings too. This is probably truly maybe could be a FIRST pressing . . .
Hello Allan,What confuses me is, according to Goldmine, this album (12-242) was pressed in 1957 and which seems a bit late for a flat edge. The first 12" Riverside was in 1955, 12-201, ie, 41 records earlier.
But I do have Prestige Davis Relaxin with flat edge which was pressed in 1957 (7129 vs. 7101, 128 records later).
I always wondered if these 12" flat edges were truly first pressings or just some auxillary run, like Blue Note deep grooves after the new machine was introduced.
I think you might be right about Riversides and Pretisges--I have a "Coltrane" that is flat edge and it's late 1957 too.But with Blue Notes there's no doubt--all of their records were pressed at Plastylie and once they went to the round edge they never went back.
Maybe Prestige and Riverside used more than one pressing company--makes sense to me.
In any case, three grand for this one is INSANE.
If I was the seller I would think 3k to be quite reasonable :)))Just picked up by accident a BN1502 Davis V. 2 with INC and 47 West 63rd NYC on both labels, Side 2 with deep groove, RVG, ear in dead wax, cover and sleeve with 43 West 61st St, New York 23 N.Y. What's odd to me is that it also has that mysterious 9M in the dead wax. I thought that came only on Blue Train.
And NOBODY--even Larry Cohn--has ANY idea what it means!!!

There are two types of music- good and bad. Life is too short to bother much with one and hopefully long enough to fully appreciate the other...
right in your living room.
Maybe that's not such a hot idea....

I think I paid about 1/1000th that price.

It takes all night to do what I used to do all night....

the extra postage?I frankly think it is a hoax, just look how the bidding developed.
You run into first pressing excellent condition jazz LPs on small, independent labels pressing in VERY small batches all the time I guess, eh?Nutty price, I agree--this is worth about $600 to $750 tops, but a garden variety LP it 'aint.
you got out once in a while.
