WI002.jpg The Electras (with Sen. John Kerry) (WIR-000001)
$1,850.00
This is one of only 500 copies originally pressed in 1961. Record is NM, jacket VG. Autographs of several band members, including Sen. Kerry. During the frenzy of the 2004 campaign a worn copy – without the autographs – sold for $2,500 on EBay.
 
media/WIR-000223.jpg WIR-000223 Sidney Bechet: with "Wild" Bill Davison (WIR-000223)
$990.00
Blue Note LP 7001 (1949) 10-inch. No, that price isn't a misprint. This is one of the rarest of records, combined with some of the best jazz ever played, and this copy is NM, both record and jacket. Any serious collector will want it at any price. Catalogues carry it at anywhere from $800-$2,000.
