Be sure to look at my other auctions!  I have many great titles for sale this week.

Format: 12" 33rpm lp
Artist: Freddie Hubbard 
Title: Blue Spirits 
Label/Catalog #: Blue Note BST 84196
Mono/Stereo: Stereo 
Details:    1st pressing with NY USA labels, Van Gelder. This lp has been cleaned on a Degritter ultrasonic cleaner.


Record condition: Side 1 is generally clean but has one longer soft rub mark and two small scratches which are lightly felt. Side 2 is EX. Play graded in full. The mentioned scratch makes a cyclic tick for about 50 seconds. Makes a few more ticks towards the end of the song. The rest of the album plays fantastic VG++ to NM throughout. 

Cover:  Strong VG. Would easily be VG+ but has top seam wear and 4” of paper loss towards spine side. The rest of the cover is quite nice, lower seam rubbing but no splits. 

Labels: See photos

VG+ THE RECORD STILL RETAINS SOME SHINE, SURFACE MARKS & SCRATCHES MAY OCCUR BUT ARE LIMITED AND TEND TO BE MODERATE TO LIGHT.  RECORD WILL PLAY VERY WELL WITH VERY LIGHT SURFACE NOISE MOSTLY HEARD DURING A QUIET PASSAGE.
