DEXTER GORDON Go LP - Blue Note 4112 PROMO Sonny Clark

116

In the next two weeks, I will be posting a very extensive jazz LP collection from the 1950's- 1960's from someone who I believe was a radio DJ. Most of the albums have been well played and many are promos. If you have questions about the album, please don't hesitate to ask. I do not own a turntable so albums are graded based solely on visual appearance. Of course, condition is always subjective so I will use my best judgement. Please be sure to come back to my auctions for new listings, some of which are a bit uncommon.

In this auction, you are bidding on Dexter Gordon on the LP Go by Blue Note Records (BLP-4112) in Mono. This promo album includes Dexter Gordon on sax, Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. The back of the album cover states "Review Copy" but there is no mark on the actual album. The album cover has a 6" tear stretching on the top of the seam. The album appears to be in VG+/EX condition and would be a wonderful addition to any collection. Sorry for the glare from the camera flash.

If you bid on more than one auction, you will save a lot on shipping. Also, if you bidding on auctions that end on different days, I'm happy to hold items to combine shipping, just send me a quick e-mail me to let me know of your potential intentions. Also, PLEASE NOTE that I've added a $0.75 handling fee to cover the cost of a cardboard box. I normally recycle boxes from work but finding boxes to fit albums (especially since I'm selling so many albums at once) is challenging. Also, if album ending price exceeds $100, I may ask for addition funds for tracking in mailing.

MINT (M): Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it.

NEAR MINT or NM, M- : this record appears virtually flawless A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see. The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.

EXCELLENT or EX or VG++ : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+ record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. COVERS: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it.The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.

VERY GOOD or VG: this record is a record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good, but it will STILL play very good. there will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear well have been played but still have some luster. VG covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting . There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow falling. If the artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than VG condition. There may be some writing on the cover (still, no Large letters in magic marker). It will look aged and more yellowish due to contamination's in the air (sometimes looking like cigarette smoke). Still it should be decent.

I use the US Postal Service and use priority mail unless the package is very heavy and being shipped to the west coast or if the item is a heavy book. Shipping costs are based on weight and distance from my home in Fairhaven, MA. I am happy to ship using media mail rates on books and music if asked but please be aware that shipping can get delayed. I've been selling on Ebay for 10 years and although I have a full time job, I certainly enjoy selling on ebay for part time income. I'm happy to answer all questions but please be aware that these questions are normally answered after I have returned home from work. International shipping has increased considerably so if shipping costs are a concern, please contact me and I will provide a quote. I do not end auctions early so no questions are necessary.

I encourage you to look at my other auctions for a wide variety of items. I often sell glass, pottery, books, art, and other unsual items one may find at yard sales and estate sales. Best of luck in your bidding and thanks for your time looking at my auction.
