Jimmy Smith – Home Cookin’

Here we are looking at Jimmy Smith’s Home Cookin’, Blue Note 4050. The cover here has some wear to it – you can see it more in the back cover than the front. The top and bottome edge also have some wear to them – the bottom has a spot about 1-2...
Lou Donaldson Blues Walk

Lou Donaldson Blues Walk

Here we are looking at Lou Donaldson’s Blues Walk on Blue Note, #1593.  This is an original issue stereo in nice shape – all original details. The cover has a small corner cut (lower right on front) indicating it was a cutout at some point. That being...
Herbie Hancock – Fat Mama

Herbie Hancock – Fat Mama

Here we are looking at a promo 45 of Herbie Hancock’s Fat Mama on Warner Brothers. As you can see, this is a white label promo of the record. It is in very nice shape, with a couple light scuffs showing but nothing deep, nothing major. The label on the A side...

45 Collection for Sale

Here we are looking at a 45 collection I want to sell…it is a LOT of pieces. We’re looking at about 6000 45s here – most have sleeves, but some don’t, and some of the sleeves are not worthwhile. I have no true idea how it breaks down, but most...

Wynton Kelly – Kelly Blue

Wynton Kelly – Kelly Blue

Here we are looking at WQynton Kelly’s Kelly Blue on Riverside. This one, the cover has some pretty good wear to it. Mainly, you can see that some moron put braided packing tape on every edge…looks like it was done in the 60s or 70s. That aside, there is a...
Duke Pearson Wahoo!

Duke Pearson Wahoo!

Tony Fruscella – self titled

Tony Fruscella – self titled

Here we are looking at Tony Fruscetta’s self titled LP. This one, the cover looks like it got beat up a bit, then fixed, while the vinyl is in better shape. The cover has the bottom edge fixed (many years back, judging from the tape color) and it has a split...
