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


Artist: Freddie Hubbard
Title: Hub Cap
Label/Catalog #: Blue Note BLP 4073  
Mono/Stereo: Mono
Details:  Rarely seen first pressing. West 63rd both labels, RVG, Ear. With Blue Note inner sleeve. This lp has been cleaned on a Degritter ultrasonic cleaner.


Record condition:  Visually NM- and plays M-!  Outstanding, close to like new condition! Both sides show a full gloss and almost no signs of handling, nearly flawless. Play graded in full. Unreal, plays M- entirely. Even "Cry Me Not" plays virtually silent. The rest of the album plays without a tick, perfect clarity. Incredibly difficult to find a first pressing in this condition, archival quality vinyl!
