This oddball is not just up on ebay right now but the listing has samples!

I can't listen at work but maybe someone can and report. I wonder if this will go for a crazy price or not.

Well, that record is in Bruyninckx' discography Lionel Hampton leader dates listings (rec approx. 1962-63) so apparently this record IS known to discog buffs.

And Bruyninckx lists a second single from the same session (Maybe Tomorrow/Nothing's Impossible) issued on Cameo.

Let me put it this way...I once saw Mudcat Grant's trio open before a Cardinal game (quite accidental, all of it). Don't really remember it with any detail, but all things being equal (meaning no Lionel Hampton), I'd much rather go back in time to that Cardinal game to hear Mudcat than I would click on those links to hear this 45's samples.

OTOH, all things are not equal, there IS Lionel Hampton, just as there is no publicly available time machine.

"Take it, Hamp" b/w "Take It, Hamp".
