New Jazz LP Arrivals

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.
