This auction is from the same collection of impeccable condition lp's I've been selling from, but we are now coming to the most collectible parts. In most cases, these are still among the finest copies imaginable. Each one will be graded individually, but many of them are just as pristine as the discs from the late 60's and early 70's.

Artist: Freddie Hubbard
Title: Hub Tones
Label/Catalog #: Blue Note BLP 4115  
Mono/Stereo:  Mono
Details: First pressing, rarely seen with a deep groove. NY USA labels, deep groove side 2, Van Gelder, Ear. With original inner sleeve, also immaculately kept. This has been cleaned on a Degritter ultrasonic cleaner.


Record condition:  M-/NM-.  Superb set, almost flawless! Side 1 looks M-, full gloss and no wear to mention. Side 2 is M- as well but there is one tiny needle drop on the final track. Play graded in full. The mentioned needle drop makes 4 light ticks. Other than this the whole album plays M-, dead silent and perfect clarity. Play grade is guaranteed, the finest copy you'll ever find!

Cover: VG++. Would be NM- but has small writing on back cover and a tiny corner ding. Front is almost perfect, as are the seams. Back cover has some minor signs of age. Fantastic set, doubtfully found in nicer condition!

Labels: See photos
