Description
Factory sealed copy of Freddie Hubbard’s landmark jazz classic Red Clay.
Because the album remains sealed, the exact pressing cannot be fully verified without opening. Based on the non-gatefold jacket and overall presentation, this appears to be a later reissue, likely from the early 2010s era, though sold as presumed mint/unplayed due to remaining factory sealed.
Jacket presents very well overall with only very slight corner bumps and minimal storage/shelf wear consistent with age and sealed storage. Original retail/barcode sticker remains attached to the back cover.
Freddie Hubbard’s first release for Creed Taylor’s legendary CTI label, Red Clay helped establish the sophisticated crossover sound that would define CTI throughout the 1970s.
Widely regarded as a landmark transitional recording between hard bop/post-bop and early jazz fusion, the album features an all-star lineup including Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Lenny White.
One of the most sought-after and influential titles in the CTI catalog for good reason, blending advanced hard bop improvisation with the groove-oriented, expansive sound that would help shape jazz fusion in the decade to come.
A cornerstone release for serious jazz collectors.
Record will be shipped carefully and securely.
Because this item is factory sealed, any return must remain sealed in original condition.
