I played a Dexter Gordon album yesterday that I've had for a decade or so-- The Montmarte Collection vol. 1, a reissue of a Copenhagen concert.
But I noticed something odd. The title is misspelled. Montmarte is spelled Monmarte. The record is of good quality (better sound than the Bernie Grundman remaster). The record label looks original.
I kinda doubt if it's a counterfeit.
But how common are records with such obvious misprints on the cover?? The photo isn't my copy, but shows the correct cover.

It is very interesting to see an album with a misspelling or typo. The eBay price is $24 and here's the link....

It's hard to understand how they could have put these on the market. And Black Lion isn't a tiny unknown label in the jazz world.
Shame it's not a more collectable lp. $$$
