This is an EXCELLENT copy of this scarce BLUE NOTE album, DEXTER GORDON "OUR MAN IN PARIS", featuring DEXTER GORDON, TENOR SAX, BUD POWELL, PIANO, PIERRE MICHELOT, BASS, and KENNY CLARKE, DRUMS. Talk about an ALL STAR BAND! This is quintessential late 50s BLUE NOTE JAZZ at its best. Regarding BLUE NOTE RECORDS: As we all know, the performances are legendary, and the Blue Note sound is simply stunning.

This LP was released in the mid to late 1950s/early 60s, and it is probably a first pressing, although it is not deep groove. Personally, after 30 years collecting rare vintage LPs, I have never seen this LP in a deep groove pressing. It features the well known Blue and White label.  It features the NEW YORK USA address on both sides.  It has the matrix # BNLP 4146 A and B hand etched in the run out groove, as well as the Rudy Van Gelder stamp. It has the famous Plastylite symbol (the "Ear") on both sides. This LP is in really lovely condition, and Im conservatively rating it VG+. There are a few light, non-feelable marks, thats it. Very very nice condition. The Laminated Jacket is in VG/VG+ condition. The spine, and both top and bottom seams are solid, however, there are strips of glossy clear tape along the spine, and top and bottom seams, probably put there by the original owner, for reinforcement. The clear high gloss tape matches the gloss of the LAMINTATED jacket, so its really is barely noticeable.  The back shows some shelf wear, and very little soiling. Overall, the jacket is still very nice, clean, and presentable. I purchased this LP many years ago and have enjoyed listening to this outstanding performance by one of my favorite Bebop Sax players, DEXTER GORDON. The classic Francis Wolff photo, and the graphics, are sharp and clear. The labels are clean, with a few faint spindle marks. The LP itself is the medium - thick vinyl associated with these later 50s-early 60s pressings, and the BLUE NOTE sound is amazing, engineered by the incomparable Rudy Van Gelder. The LP plays and sounds great!

I am a Jazz Pianist and Recording Artist, and have been collecting Rare Jazz LPs for many years. This is one from my personal collection. I assure you, all the LPs I will be offering here have been meticulously taken care of, and only played rarely, on a Sota Sapphire Turntable, with a Grado Reference Cartridge. They have been kept inside a temperature controlled room in my home, in plastic dust jackets. In other words, you can bid in confidence, knowing these LPs come from someone who has loved them and babied them. I reluctantly am beginning to sell some of my LPs, and hope they go to someone who will love them as I have. 

All LPs will be carefully packed in proper LP boxes, well protected, and sent USPS PRIORITY MAIL for US buyers. For overseas buyers, I have been using the EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER and everyone has been happy.  The LPs are again, packed carefully and properly, and shipped to the EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER, and then they are shipped on to the buyer. EBAY takes full responsibility for their delivery. Shipping costs are always based on your location. I do not add "handling"fees, costs will be exactly as I am charged by the shipper of choice. Thank You for looking, and Good Luck!
