Ceedee! Enjoyed reading your post. In hindsight, I also remember lps such as ‘Undercurrent,’ some Stanley Turrentine, Art Blakey, Horace Silver, etc. Blue Note lps that sounded dead to my ears and thus I let go/traded for perhaps, decades ago, a fair sum but nowadays a pittance. Guess it’s all in the ears of the behearer or, these days, the one with the fattest bank account.

Ceedee it’s nice to hear I’m not alone in my opinion of “undercurrent”. I don’t dislike it, but nothing on the record really moves me or gets me excited. So I’m content with my music matters pressing. Unless of course I find it in my local used bin for $100!

Man,oh man-that Hub Cap release is a favorite from Freddie. His “Cry Me Not” performance should be mandatory listening for young trumpeters(and for anyone else with ears). I’ve been trying to score an original for years w/o any luck-at $1,400 I’d say my luck has quickly changed(for the worse). The music and graphics capture Hubbard’s forward-looking, adventurous, immensely talented sound at the time. It was a clarion call-at least,it was to those lucky enough to have heard it upon its release. More than fifty years later,it STILL brings tears to my eyes.
By the way, another lp mentioned-“Undercurrent”-was one I owned some 40 years back. It was in great shape,but it didn’t move me at all. I think “the cats” may have been phonin’ it in that day,compositions and solos. So I did the only reasonable thing-I traded it in with some unwanted vinyl to a place long gone,Titus Oakes. If I got 40 bucks for them all,I’m sure I felt pretty good about myself.
So it went for 3.4k,huh? I guess it’s not only great music that can move me to tears. Yikes!

For Lady (clean) brought a thousand dollars in the early days of ebay. Then it dropped, but now it seems to be back. It’s one of the rarest Prestige, and its very good. Webster Young was rarely recorded.

Beautiful record “For Lady” by Webster Young. I remember paying 10 years ago, about $400 NM

I’m surprised that the seller 1molecularrman, of the Jackie McLean, The New Tradition, Ad Lib 6601,gets the prices for almost all of his rare records, for one, most of them are Vg/Vg+, and he does not sale to international buyers ,i would think that would hurt his sales
