I was watching Shaddes of Redd as well … it is also a painful gap in my collection …

Clifford: keep an eye out for the one on Signal would be my recommendation. It’s worth every penny you spend on it. Fantastic in it’s original, 1st pressing form.

The Savoy is what I was thinking of, thanks. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

There’s also a Classic Records 200 gm reissue of the Red Rodney LP, if I’m not mistaken.

I just recalled it is calles “Fiery” and I have a quite late Savoy pressing (red label)

The Rodney has a later pressing on Savoy. Sounds very good also.

Isn’t there a later pressing of the Rodney?

The Rodney on Signal is one of the rarest of the rare, almost never comes up in decent condition. I have a copy with a M- vinyl and a VG+ cover. Extremely rare, extremely good sounding ( the recording sound is phenomenal ) and extremely nice record. An absolute must in any high-end collection with good taste.

Holy crap, that’s a lot of money for a VG Red Rodney record, even the Signal LP. Although I seem to recall another one sold for well over $1,000 a few years ago. Yikes.
