The original Vinyl Recordings of Barney Kessel were priced as high as $400.00. Most likely his Collectible Vinyl is selling much higher at this time. In my Opinion the Very Best Barney Kessel Recordings can be found on the original Vinyl Recordings. I had the "To Swing or Not To Swing" Album and considered it Barney Kessel's best Recording. When I sold this recording in 1985 it was worth $300.00. The Collectible Jazz Dealers cannot keep a Barney Kessel Original Album for very long. : : There are many Barney Kessel CDs that you can purchase from the Online CD Retailers. : : Robert Lee Johnson : : The Guitar Man : : www.mp3.com/theguitarman
