Eric Posted July 12, 2004 Report Posted July 12, 2004 saw this used online somewhere - not a peep from AMG - it is on Columbia and I am guessing it is not strong, but was wondering if anyone knew it? Quote
brownie Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Never heard that one and can't remember ever running into a copy. Obviously because I gave up on the Freddie Hubbard Columbia albums after listening to the first couple ones Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Only reference I have ever seen to this is on the 1999 Usenet auction post (same one you saw?). No catalog number is given. No other Usenet or WWW reference. It is not in Bruyninckx or Lord discographies, nor is it in the Goldmine Jazz Album Price Guide. Could it exist? Yes, but I am skeptical - usually the items missed are by more obscure artists. If it does exist, it is almost certainly not a US issue. Could be a Japanese-only item. Should anyone have more info, please speak up. Hubbard did record "Midnight At The Oasis" on a couple of his Columbia albums - and there was a 1951 recording called "Hunter Hancock Presents Blues & Rhythm Midnight Matinee" involving Cecil 'Count' Carter - that's about as close as I can get.

doubleM Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 I've seen it in a couple of stores for $5-$6. I never could pull the trigger, though. I get the feeling it ain't no classic. Quote

Mike Mike, Saw it in an "ebay store": http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4019400132&rd=1 Eric Quote
Eric Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Posted July 13, 2004 a couple of sellers on GEMM have it listed as Columbia 37035 ... Quote
JSngry Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 The cover art strongly suggests a repackaging of previously issued material. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 The catalog number clinches it. Thanks for that. Yes, it's a compilation. Bruyninckx and Lord discographies show it to include: Black Maybe (from High Energy) Yesterday's Thoughts (from Liquid Love) Portrait of Jenny (from Bundle of Joy) To Her Ladyship (from Superblue) The Surest Things Can Change (from Superblue) Mike Quote
Eric Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Posted July 13, 2004 Thanks Mike - mystery solved! I have never heard this material, although I know it gets horrible reviews. I snagged it on GEMM for a whopping $2.88 - what the hey ... Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Oh man - $2.88? Can you get your money back? Superblue isn't a bad record, so maybe it's all right (although I regularly see that going for .99 or $1). I haven't listened to any of the others in ages. I still have nightmares about the version of "Crisis" on High Energy. Mike Quote
