I actually swooped in and messaged him when he first put the status on one of the Facebook groups. His prices are insane though, in most cases they are 2-3 times more than the median selling price on discogs, and almost all of them are higher than the highest sold price.

Ah—that’s what I figured. I didn’t really look into the pricing of each pressing. One of these days I will finally land a copy of Speak No Evil...but he was too expensive especially with shipping on that one...he told me he would probably toss them up on eBay so will be interesting to see what he prices them at. I saw him on Reddit first on the jazz vinyl sub without prices listed. Then didn’t put two and two together and saw someone post on Facebook so messaged and I noticed later that the prices had gone down. So maybe he’s open to fair prices...who knows hah. Somebody bought Page One though.

Yeah he posted on facebook yesterday and I happen to check to check 2 mins after so I got in there quick, thinking I was going to nab them. The prices are crazy high though, even if I was to offer half on some of them it would really be more than their median, way too pricy for me.
To be honest though, Blue Note records rarely pop up for sale on these kind of sites (other than ebay) and as such they tend to be priced at the high end. One of the coolest shops in London (in terms of rarity) is 'IF Music'.....but the prices are way higher than anywhere else.

Anyone still not receive a shipping notification from an order during the International Jazz Day sale? None of what I ordered was a pre-order, and I cannot get an answer from BN about why it’s being held up. Ordered May 2. Just wanted to see if anyone was in the same boat, heavily thinking of just refunding and ordering elsewhere.
I don't have mine either. I actually cancelled part of it and they responded and refunded, but nothing else has shipped.

I reached out the first time and got a somewhat automated response minutes later, that it was because part of my order wasn't ready but it would ship by May 22. I've since reached trying to pinpoint exactly what was held up, as all were older releases in stock, but no response. Think I'm just going to cancel and order elsewhere if I don't hear from them today.

Looks like you have a decent amount there on your shelf, any favourites?The cover photo of this book (happens to be the cover off A Fickle Sonance) is a cropped photo of the cover of Jackie McLean's book by Derek Ansell.

Man, you know how long MM stuff was in stock for the original price? Nobody wants it til it's gone.

It’s funny because when I first became aware of MM, I thought to myself: “$35?! For a single record?!” I didn’t have a disposable income at the time and think I was still in college. I was getting early and first pressings of Impulse and Prestige titles for under $10. I wasn’t ever spending more that $15 on one record. I wish I had more of an income at the time to buy up more of the original MM pressings considering what they go for now. I’d have a nice little nest egg haha.

Fantastic, thanks for this!! I haven't read the Wayne Shorter or Charlie Parker (I have 'Bird Lives!: The High Life and Hard Times of Charlie Parker - Ross Russell' but haven't read that yet) so those will go straight on my list! Thanks again

Not familiar with the Joe Pass or Sonny Clark titles but the Dexter Gordon and Andrew Hill titles are excellent. Been hoping they would do Passing Ships soon.

I'm a huge Joe Pass fan and absolutely love that album. I grabbed an OG copy for pretty cheap at a record fair last year and have spun it frequently.

I’ve never checked any of his stuff but excited to get it. It sounds fantastic. Any other recommendations from him?

Man, that Andrew Hill record is fantastic. Probably my favorite of his, or at least near the top. Back when I first found about it I was bummed to know that it had never been issued on vinyl, so this is great news!

Guitar Interludes is a really cool album but a bit tricky to find. I only just recently found a copy for a good price and it was a gamble since it was listed as VG but ended up being VG+ after a cleaning. Django is probably my favorite of his outside of that. I really dig most of his stuff on Pablo as well if you like some solo guitar records. Any of the Virtuoso albums are solid and can almost always be found for under $10.

As a heads up, MM is now saying they might just drop the new SRX in store without any sort of announcement to avoid the site crashing...if anybody sees Speak No Evil go up, PLEASE let me know. Despite my hatred of MM's policies, this is one album I have been trying to find a good copy of for forever now and it has always eluded me...
