Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition vinyl 2 LP Set and 1976 FIRST PRESSING on the Blue Note Records label issued in 1976 in "The Blue Note Re-Issue Series" (the set includes a reissue of the classic Blue Note LP "Hub Cap" and the First Issue of the previously unissued album "Here to Stay") by trumpeter FREDDIE HUBBARD titled "Here to Stay"--the December 27, 1962 and April 9, 1961 sessions feature WAYNE SHORTER on tenor saxophone, CEDAR WALTON on piano, REGGIE WORKMAN on bass, and PHILLY JOE JONES on drums on the "Here to Stay" session (1962) and JIMMY HEATH on tenor saxophone, JULIAN PRIESTER on trombone, CEDAR WALTON on piano, LARRY RIDLEY on bass, and PHILLY JOE JONES on drums on the "Hub Cap" session (1962). The LP is a 1976 Blue Note Records issue from "The Blue Note Re-Issue Series" with the serial number BN-LA496-H2 ("Hub Cap" was originally issued as BST-4073), is a 1st PRESSING of this set and Stereo recording and was made in the United States.
This 2 LP Set is in SUPERB condition and the vinyl is in NEAR MINT condition and should play beautifully, with no significant imperfections; the deluxe gatefold cover is in NEAR MINT- (Ex) condition with a couple of slight creases and a ding on the upper left corner, a tiny cut corner on the upper right tip and slight ringwear on the back surface but no other significant flaws!  The TWO ORIGINAL BLUE NOTE RECORDS INNER SLEEVES advertising other releases in The Blue Note Re-Issue Series are also included and in beautiful condition.

Please Note:  I CAN ship records outside of the United States but will need to get a weight estimate based on the final PACKAGED weight for this record--I cannot ship for the $4.00 U.S. Media Rate and the quoted International Shipping Rate may differ from the final shipping rate due to packaged weight differences so please wait to make payment until a final invoice is received. Thanks!
