Item Description:

DEXTER GORDON: 'One Flight Up' LP

Blue Note 84176 LP, made in US, 1973. Album is play graded.

Record: NM-, with a few barely visible marks; no warps, skips, scratches, needle trails or other signs of wear. Labels have no spindle marks.
Cover: VG+, it's in original factory shrink wrap with almost no ring/edge wear, one bent corner and a cut corner.

This is a barely played copy of a 1973 Blue Note reissue of Dexter Gordon's classic 'One Flight Up' album, originally released in 1965. It's a fine set with Gordon's band at the time; Donald Byrd, Kenny Drew, Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and Art Taylor. The two extended jams allow the players plenty of room to stretch out. Very relaxed and swinging set. This copy has been in my collection since 1974, it's been played maybe 10 times. Van Gelder is impressed in the dead wax. 


A NOTE ABOUT GRADING

All records are graded using the 'Goldmine' grading system, applied conservatively. Grading is as follows:

M = MINT. Absolutely perfect in every way - never played. I rarely use this grade.

NM = NEAR MINT. A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other signs of use. The same should be true of inserts, lyric sheets, posters, etc.

NM- = NEAR MINT MINUS. This is a grade of my own devising. The record will show signs that it was played, but rarely. Record surfaces may have very light needle trails or very light scuffs, but NO scratches or warps. The LP jacket may have very light wear, but NO cut-out holes, cut corners or saw cuts.

VG+ = VERY GOOD PLUS. The record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner(s) who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs, very light scratches or slight warps that don't affect the listening experience. The LP jacket may have some signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole/cut corner/saw cut.

VG = VERY GOOD. Many of the condition issues found on a VG+ record will be more pronounced on a VG record. Some surface noise may be evident upon playing. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to be felt with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. LP jackets may have writing, tape or stickers/labels/tags. Other signs of wear may also be evident.

VG- = VERY GOOD MINUS. Similar to a VG record, but with more obvious condition issues. Surface noise from light scratches or groove wear will be present, but the record will not have skips. LP jackets will have multiple signs of wear. Not collectible, but may serve as a play copy.
