With regard to the Bobby Hutcherson, I’ve had that album with the New York Label on both sides,so I don’t think the liberty issue is a first pressing. Liberty and UA pressings used to be great values for those of us who could’nt afford the earlier pressings. However, things have just gotten rediculous when it comes to the prices now being realized!

Re: The Mal Waldron LP, a “scuff” becomes a “scratch” when it “ticks”. And “ticks” pull down the Vinyl Grade considerably.

I could be wrong, but i think that black BN logo on the back is an indicator of a later version 100% of the time. I know that it doesn’t make a presence on 1st pressings through the entire 4200 series and into the 4300s, at which point they switched to the Blue Note / Transamerica logo and then the bubbly B logo used on BNLA releases.

First pressing for the Hutch should have New York labels, and, indeed, no Liberty on the back cover, though you also see the New York labels with this cover. So this Liberty label copy is a second or third, depending on your perspective. Given that, price is pretty damn high, about what I’d expect a New York to sell for actually … but I suppose that’s eBay.

And can’t say I’m seeing the EX on that Fuller cover; back slick is fairly grubby and looks to have a surface tear through the liner notes. No better than VG+. Will probably still fetch a pretty penny … again, eBay.
