I don't use ebay, but I would like to find that one. Is it available anywhere else?

It's out of print and hard to find--you better make Unk an offer he can't refuse.

The seller is StereoJack, a member of this forum. I can surely vouch for him. It's where I make a vast majority of my new CD purchases. :D

I'm glad SOMEONE is picking up this little gem. Still surprising that eBay generated no interest...with a great seller and reasonable price. I've seen these go (recently) for $50.

Yeah, I've got one for sale/trade, so that's why I've been watching.

Weird, couldn't find a cd version on Amazon, just a cassette! Am I missing it somehow??? I have seen obscure cds not show up, imports, but a Columbia release? Strange.....

This CD was withdrawn shortly after release since it turned out that Columbia didn't have the rights to the recordings. That's why it is so rare.

That's what I've read about it, probably on one of the jazz boards. I did a Google search now and came up with this All About Jazz post from 2005. It's not necessarily the one I read, but it says the same thing:

"Writing about Tubby's recordings with American jazz musicians I should of course have mentioned Tubbs In New York, the super album he recorded during his first Stateside visit in 1961.

Originally issued in the UK on the Fontana label (and in the USA on Epic) the album certainly ranks among Tubby's best, so it's a crying shame that it hasn't yet appeared in Universal Japan's CD reissue programme.

This absense may well be explained by the copyright issues surrounding exactly who owns the album. A CD reissue of the complete October 1961 sessions which appeared in 1990 on the CBS label (Tubby Hayes with Clark Terry - The New York Sessions; CBS 466363 2) was swiftly withdrawn after a bit of legal wrangling. Epic (part of CBS) may have recorded the album but technically it was a Fontana production, which must mean that it is now under the banner of Universal."

So it seems that this case is analogous to Miles Davis's Lift To The Scaffold soundtrack recording which was originally released as half of the Columbia Jazz Track album, but now is being reissued by Verve.

As for myself, I bought the CD in 1990, directly after it came out, and since that was in the pre-Internet days I had no idea about what had happened afterwards until I read about it. The European copies, by the way, said "CBS Jazz Masterpieces", since they weren't allowed to use the "Columbia" name in Europe.

I became aquainted with Tubby Hayes' music when I found a Fontana import of 'Tubbs' at Dusty Groove in Chicago. Great stuff. Too bad if there is a contract violation with Columbia and _______ so we basically cannot expect a Legacy reissue with the original cover/remastering etc.
