– New Arrivals: 2,000 Jazz LPs!
For the second time in around a month we have purchased a nice jazz collection of about 2,000 titles.
This collection has a great selection of the standard repertoire from the classic bop/post-bop era of the late 50?s through the late 60?s; from East Coast giants like Miles to West Coast artists like Art Pepper and Gerry Mulligan.
However, before you serious collectors get too excited, these titles are almost all later reissues; many blue label and ?DMM? Blue Notes, blue label Prestiges, later pressing of Savoy, Contemporary, Impulse and other major labels, and dozens of ?OJC?s? (Original Jazz Classics reissues). Most of these records were pressed from the mid 70?s to the early 80?s. Beautifully maintained, the covers and records are almost without exception very clean.
There are also dozens of not-that-common Japanese pressings, and a scattering of rarities including some Liberty and U/A Blue/White Blue Notes, some early Clef?s and some 6-eye Columbia?s.
As this collection is not heavy on rarities, the vast majority of titles have been priced from $1.00 to $14.99, with just a few dozen higher. Most of the blue label Blue Notes are $9.99 per; the Japanese LPs are in the $7.99-$11.99 range, and the OJC?s are from $4.99 to $7.99. There are hundreds more priced to move at $1.00-$4.99. All the non-rares are out now in the jazz section (look underneath on floor level for some of the super-cheap titles), and we expect the more expensive titles to be out this evening.
Hope you get a chance to visit us soon. We like to know that our email campaign is working, so bring this in when you visit and get an additional 5% (total 25%) discount on your custom shirt order! BLOWOUT SALE

New Arrivals: Over 2,000 Jazz LPs!
You jazz lovers out there might have noticed that it?s been a little while since we had a large jazz collection come in. Today we are pleased to announce a beauty of over 2,100 titles.
The gentleman who collected these over many years had eclectic jazz tastes (he worked for a jazz institute), and as a consequence the titles are all over the place. They range from swing, through Dixie and traditional, to the classic bop era, with a smattering of vocal and more modern jazz thrown in. He bought many of his records here throughout the years, and it is a lot of fun for us to see some of our original price stickers from the inception of our store (one is featured in our video). The records are for the most part in excellent shape; the collector clearly loved and took good care of his records.
This collection is not heavy on super-rarities. The vast majority of titles have been priced from $1.00 to $4.99, but there is a nice selection of later-press classic titles and a handful of original pressings. The two most notable are an original ?homemade? Saturn pressing of Sun Ra?s ?Over the Rainbow? and a first press of Lee Morgan on Blue Note records ?Vol.3?, 47 W. 63rd St. address, deep groove, no ?R? on label, ?RVG? and ?ear? etches, very clean (just a slight scuff) with a glossy cover in great shape (small one inch fray on spine). As far as we can tell, this is one of the cleanest copies that have been put up for sale in several years.
You can see a brief movie about this collection at our blog www.prex.com/blog. We don?t have the time to list all the titles, obviously, but it does give a feel for the scope. If you are looking for a nice cross-section of inexpensive jazz records, it?s a great time to come visit us. _______________________________________________________________________
On another note, we are running an in-store contest featuring one of our favorite quirky bands, Devo. We are giving away two copies of their new album, ?Something for Everybody? which is coming out on Tuesday, June 15. One prize will come with that CD and four of their catalog titles on CD, and the other prize also has the new CD (it?s not out on vinyl yet) and the four catalog titles on LP. All product courtesy of WEA (thanks guys!).
Entries will be accepted in-store from Friday afternoon, June 11 through Monday June 14. No purchase necessary to enter, but you must drop off in person (sorry, no mail entries) |
