ARTIST:.....DEXTER GORDON QUINTET

TITLE:.....DEXTER GORDON QUINTET

LABEL:.....DIAL - 204

YEAR:.....1950

COUNTRY:.....U.S.

FORMAT:.....10" - 33 1/3 RPM LP (NOT A CD)

CONDITION:

RECORD / VG+ (Clean (as clean as we could get it), a few very light surface scratches and several spindle marks on the label, it played through quite well, no skips or sticks, there were a few clicks in a few spots as well as some background noise throughout which was quite noticeable on the dead wax but not that bad through the music except for on the quieter passages, the majority of it did really sound quite decent. Far from being Mint yet still good enough to be enjoyed providing one is not an audiophile. This would make a decent, playable filler copy)
COVER / VG (the front is quite nice, the seams are intact, the back is a bit dirty looking and has 4.95 written in pencil on the upper left (believe this to be the original price), as well as a name and Jan. 1952 written in pencil (also on the back), the front would grade somewhere around EX / EX+ but the back is not as nice)

NOTES:.....Original Rare 10" LP. Mono Pressing. Quite a rare record to say the least, we looked it up in our 1994 Goldmine Price Guide To Collectible Jazz Albums and they give it a value of $150.00 to $300.00 U.S. For a small record it is actually quite heavy, on our scale the vinyl weighs about 240 grams and the cover about 100 grams. Please note that this item will count as 2 LP's for shipping because when packaged it weighs over the 500 gram limit set by Canada Post. Some covers may have pricing stickers on them.

Any inserts, lyric sheets, etc. will be mentioned in the notes section above, if nothing is mentioned it means there is none.

RECORD GRADING:

SS (STILL SEALED).....M (MINT).....EX (EXCELLENT)..... VG (VERY GOOD).....G (GOOD).....F (FAIR)..... P (POOR).....for more information on record grading please see our ABOUT ME page.

We do our best to grade records as honestly and as accurately as we can, if anything, we are conservative (actually quite strict). Every record we sell comes with a brand new protective plastic outer sleeve and when needed we also provide brand new paper inner sleeves. Every record is carefully visually graded under ideal lighting conditions unless noted otherwise.

SHIPPING INFORMATION:.....All items are shipped from CANADA, for SHIPPING COSTS please scroll down a bit. Buyer pays all shipping costs.

Estimated Shipping Times According To Canada Post:
Air Mail to the U.S. should take from 1 to 4 weeks but may take longer because of U.S. Customs, please allow 6 weeks before contacting us, then we will open a lost package claim with Canada Post and they will launch an investigation and you will either receive your item or your money will be refunded.
International Air Mail should take from 2 to 5 weeks but may take longer because of Customs within each country, please allow 7 weeks before contacting us, then we will open a lost package claim with Canada Post and they will launch an investigation and you will either receive your item or your money will be refunded.
Air Mail is usually fairly fast but from time to time stuff happens in the postal system to slow things down, please understand that any delays are not our fault, we will tell you when we mail your item and from that point on it is in the hands of the postal system.
Surface Mail can be very, very slow and therefore it is not recommended. Surface Mail may take over a month to the U.S. and over 3 months Internationally. If you opt for Surface Mail, PLEASE be very patient because it may take a very long time.

ACCEPTED METHODS OF PAYMENT:

PayPal is now the only way that eBay will allow us to receive payments. Sorry, but we do not make the rules and seeing as how eBay owns PayPal, is it any wonder? :(

We carefully and securely package all records using proper cardboard record mailers and they are all clearly marked "FRAGILE". We are not responsible for items lost or damaged in the mail (insurance covers that).
