Excited to see everyone's RSD hauls, hopefully everyone gets what they want! I'm risking my local's 6pm online-only drop today, so even if I get what I want, it won't arrive for a few days, In the meantime here are a few pick-ups from the past few days:
Grant Green - Am I Blue (Blue Note, 1964 First Mono Pressing)
This one is interesting as its the Plastylite pressing, which has a separate Discogs entry. I guess that means they pressed some there before moving over to another plant? Anyway, got this at a decent price and the record honestly looks unplayed.
Chet Baker - Live In Rosenheim / Chet Baker's Last Recording As Quartet (Timeless Records, 1989 First Pressing)
Archie Shepp - Mama Too Tight (Impulse!, 1967 First French Pressing)
Freddie Hubbard - Here To Stay (Blue Note, 1976 First Pressing)
Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Fitzgerald At The Opera House (Columbia, 1958 First UK Pressing)
The Wynton Kelly Trio - Full View (Milestone, 1968 First Pressing)
The Chet Baker was bought on Oxfam's online sale (£15 down from £50), and I picked up the Freddie Hubbard twofer at my local charity shop yesterday (probably the best charity shop record find I have had). The Archie Shepp was incorrectly listed as the first US Mono pressing, so I have messaged the seller to see what he says (it was really cheap anyway so I might just let it slide). Finally, the Ella and Wynton Kelly were both cheapo finds which I couldn't pass up on (I have been on a bit of a Milestone binge since VMP released Sahara).
