The short answer is around $20-80 for original LPs in mint condition or somewhat less for CD re-issues in mint condition. The main two studio albums are "The Atomic Mr. Basie" and "Basie Plays Hefti." For real completist collectors, however the longer answer is around $400-$600 for the Mosaic Boxed Set of Complete Count Basie Roulette Studio recordings (10 CD's) and $200-$350 for the Mosaic Boxed Set of Complete Count Basie Roulette Live Recordings (8 CD's). Why so expensive? Both boxed sets were issued in limited pressings - 3500 for the studio set and 7500 for the live set. In addition, Mosaic re-masters the CD's for superior sound to the standard CD issues and provides archival quality documentation, include complete notes, essays, discography, chronologies, and photos. Of course, the complete sets include multiple versions of all the Hefti-Basie collaborations as well as the other great arrangers of the New Testament Band, such as Frank Foster, Benny Carter, Thad Jones, and Ernie Wilkins among others. For some earlier Hefti-Basie collaborations you need the Columbia Boxed Set (4 CD's) and the Mosaic Verve Studio Set (8 CD's). The latter is particularly valuable for the superb Quincy Jones arrangements for Count Basie, as well as some outstanding vocals by Jimmy Rushing and Joe Williams.

What is the value of a count basie orchestra record made in 1958?
Valuing vinyl records can be tricky. Some factors to consider in a valuation are: • Physical condition of the vinyl record (Are the grooves clean and sharp? or worn and dull?) • Is the record a "first release" or a "re-release" (Is the song on the record original to 1958? Or is it a re-issue of a popular Basie song that was recorded earlier?) • Is the artist well-known? (Count Basie's Orchestra had millions of records made from the 1930s to the 1980s, so it isn't too rare to find one.) • What part of the world do you live in? (Records like this in the US are fairly easy to find, a little less so in the UK and Europe. Harder to find in Eastern Europe and Asia.) On average, a good-condition Count Basie Orchestra record from 1958 might be worth anywhere from $10 - $25. Shops that specialize in vintage records would likely buy it from you at around $2 - $5 (with an eye to reselling at a mark-up) Your best bet is to write down the song title (on both the "A" and "B" sides) and any numbers you find with the record label. There are value catalogs available at larger bookstores, or at your local library, that can tell you a lot about the possible value of any record you have.
