Dexter Gordon on a 12 inch Bethlehem LP BCP 36 entitled Daddy Plays the Horn. The record grades VG to VG+, shows mostly full gloss, with scattered light scuffs or wear, but no deep scratches. There are faint ticks and pops, that are slightly audible. There is also a tiny indentation in the vinyl mid way through the first song, that causes a couple of skips. I was only able to get it to track with extra weight and needle guidance. Please listen to a portion of the title track from this actual LP by using the eCommerce auction player. The cover shows a brown stain in the upper right corner of the front side, that also appears in the same location on the reverse. There is a three inch seam split in the upper right hand corner. There is a name written on the reverse side of the jacket in the upper parameter. The name reappears on the A side of the label. The spine is intact, a few minor bump marks on the corners. (Please see the scans.) Overall, this is a very playable copy of this rare jazz LP, if you can live with a few defects, as mentioned.

There is a complete audio stream of at least one side of each record on the listing page. Occasionally the audio stream "times out" overseas, limiting the sound, to a brief "clip". If this happens, please email or message me, and I will try to make a correction.

Here is an explanation of the grading system.

M(10) PERFECT! Label, vinyl, sound, all perfect…

M-(9) Maybe a few smudges, some very fine sleeve marks, etc. All glossy vinyl. Label pretty. Sounds great!! (sleeve marks are those tiny scratches with no effect on sound)

Ex+(8) or Vg++(8) A few sleeve marks or a few fine scratches, label still nice. Good gloss. appears-- still sounds great!! UK: EX+

Vg+(7) Probably lots of sleeve marks, OR several fine scratches, OR one or two more serious scratches, OR scuffs. Some gloss. Label is still real nice! Possibly a bit of dirt on it, etc. Overall, a fine copy. No noticeable record noise. UK:EX

Vg(6) It has sleeve marks AND: numerous very fine scratches, or a few more serious scuffs. Still nice looking overall. May be noise in quiet passages, but still sounds good! Still some gloss. Label is beginning to show signs of wear, but not serious. UK: Ex-, Or VG++.

Vg-(5) LOTS of fine scratches and almost no gloss. OR a few serious scratches, OR scuffed. Label is possibly worn. Plays with noise which doesn’t overwhelm the music. Gloss is possible, if the scratches are bad enough.UK: VG+

G+(4) COMPLETELY covered with fine scratches, OR a mix of fine and serious scratches or other defects. Label may be pretty trashed, but is generally readable. Plays with hiss, crackle or distortion, but not awful. UK:VG

G-(3) A filler. LOTS of serious scratches, definitely some audible. Noise is more prominent than the music. Label is BARELY readable. BUT: it plays ok… UK: VG- Between G and F

F(2) Almost unacceptable. Plays through. Label seriously worn. UK: G

P(1) POOR Gots lotsa scratches, scratches, scratches etc. I will NEVER list one like this.
