Be sure to look at my other auctions I have many great titles for sale this week.
Artist: Freddie Hubbard
Title: Open Sesame
Label/Catalog : Blue Note BLP 4040
Mono/Stereo: Mono
Details: First pressing. 47 West 63rd, deep groove, RVG, Ear. Ultrasonic cleaned.
Record
condition: Plays superb Visually side 1 is VG , side 2 is a nice VG . Both sides retain most its original gloss. Side 1 is quite clean, only some slight signs of handling. Side 2 has a couple light marks but still a nicer VG . Play graded in full. This plays EX to NM throughout. Some very light background crackle is heard on a seldom occasion, almost the entire album plays completely free of noise. Fantastic player, and of course a musical masterpiece
Cover: VG . Front looks great. Other than tiny wear on the corners, the seams would be perfect. Back cover is bright and clean with one stain from a price tag removal. One rubber stamp but it s so cool I almost prefer it. Rather prophetic given it s future value, likely stamped when this was worth under 100.
Labels: See photos
