Be sure to look at my other auctions!  I have many great titles for sale this week. 
Artist: Andrew Hill 
Title: Black Fire 
Label: Blue Note 4151
Mono/Stereo: mono
Details:  First pressing. New York USA labels, Van Gelder, Ear. Comes with a Blue Note inner sleeve. Ultrasonic cleaned

Record grading: Side 1 is visually and audibly M-, looks like it was freshly minted! Side 2 has a similar gloss but has one light scratch at the end of track one and the beginning of track 2. This cannot be felt by fingertip and appears light but does make ticks. Aside from this and a couple light sleeve marks side 2 would be M- as well. Play graded in full. Side 1 plays perfectly, no ticks and no crackle. The mentioned scratch on side 2 makes a lightly heard repetitive tick for around 80-90 seconds. This isn’t loud but it is audible. The rest of side 2 plays EX with only some tiny light ticks on the final track. Still a lovely copy, would be a final upgrade aside from the mentioned issues! 

Cover grading: VG+. A lower VG+ but makes the grade. Only lower due to 2.5” of paper loss on top seam at corner, minor rubbing on front center top edge. The rest of the cover grades EX with a clean spine and very minor lower seam rubbing. 

Labels: See photos
