Went to a carboot sale early this morning before work and came away with a great jazz selection. Whats the saying? Early bird catches the records?
One great thing about RSD is that its a chance to check out other stores. 3 packages arrived today from places I have never used before. 1 has top rate packaging (card liners and bubble wrap) and another included a free flexi disc. Im going to order from both of those again in the future!
Couple of days late but Happy Birthday to the pianist Bud Powell, who would have been 96 on Sunday.
Today would have been John Coltrane's 94th Birthday!
Its been 5 months but I finally have the correct B-C disc from the Bill Evans - Evans in England set (I originally was sent 2 copies of the A-B side). US postal service struggled but got there in the end!
Wayne Shorter has ongoing health issues and a fund has been set up to help with his medical expenses. If you have some change to donate the link is - SFJAZZ.org | Wayne Shorter Fund
Happy Birthday Sonny Rollins! 90 today!
Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice yesterday on the potential sale of my Frank Ocean - Blond. The buyer messaged and offered up an extra 50euro on top of an already crazy amount and I agreed (its now on its way to him). Feels like winning the lottery!
Interested to see what peoples opinion is on the value of Frank Ocean - Blond? I have had an outrageous offer for my sealed copy but im not sure if its likely to continue rising the way it has been.
Today would have been the 95th birthday of Art Pepper!
Another jazz birthday! This time it would have been the trumpeter Kenny Dorham's 96th birthday!
Does anyone know if theres a maximum number of days that a record should be shipped out after a discogs purchase? I bought a record on the 13th and have just been sent a message to say that its been posted. Seems like a very long wait.
Today would have been the 83rd birthday of the spiritual multi-instrumentalist Alice Coltrane!
Lots of Jazz birthdays in the next few days. Wayne Shorter starts us off with his 87th birthday!
Rest In Peace Charlie Persip. A fantastic drummer that was fundamental to the success of Lee Morgan's early releases.
Omega Auctions are currently selling a CD by Ed Sheeran. He only ever sold 21 (during his busking days) and bought back as many as he could once his music took off. The expect it to sell for......£10,000
Sold a record for £55 this morning.....and immediately bought a record for £60. So much for saving for RSD....
Today would have been the birthday of 2 amazing pianists, Bill Evans and Mal Waldron!
Spent 20mins adding records to my basket to make use of the HMV 50% sale, only to realise it’s selected items and none of what I added qualifies. That will teach me not to rush in without reading it properly.
