Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +22,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

- HEXAGON CUSTOM CUT VINYL

- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- USA - KAPP RECORDS - 5513
- Fantastic custom designed HEXAGON (like a Stop Sign) shaped SILVER FOIL COVER and hexagon shaped vinyl.
- Original outer designed shaped plastic baggy containing the original "WARNING" sticker advising to manually place needle on record
- to avoid damage.
Has become increasingly hard to find in ANY condition, especially with no bends to the fragile silver "blades" that flower open. - ((( Investment Artifact )))
The HEXAGON shaped cover is almost impossible to find without abrasions, scratches or scuffs to the delicate silver foil...here's an extremely rare 1971 original as you can SEE :))
Includes the RARE original hexagon shaped inner baggy sleeve and other original additions including instruction sheet how to open & close the "silver petals" housing the hexagon cover.s" housing - Like Forbidden Planet, The ANDROMEDA STRAIN
- is one of the few Hollywood productions to feature an original electronic-progressive music score. The soundtrack was composed by composer-musician Gil Mellé, who is probably best known for his theme music for the 1970s Rod Serling TV series "Night Gallery."
- The ANDROMEDA STRAIN is a unique blend of electronically generated grooves, manipulated taped sounds (musique concrete) and some traditional instrumentation (keys, double bass, percussion) punctuated by bursts of electronic white noise and pink noise. The Percussotron III, which the composer designed especially for Andromeda, is heard throughout the various tracks. Musique concrete also plays an important role here. Many field trips were made by the artist in order to record natural sounds of 20th century life (Jet Propulsion Labs in Southern California, buzz saws, wind, bowling alleys and railways). Traditional instruments were used after being electronically altered (like ten times) electronically processed with keys & sound effects. On the general level with some of the avant-garde pioneering (OHR label, etc) German Krautrock "space" bands

B:
The Piedmont Elegy

Xenogenesis
Strobe Crystal Green
CONDITION:
- Remains as a "wall display" artifact from the
- SCI-FI UNDERGROUND.
- The cover: rated: near "EX" (excellent) the silver foil custom designed hexagon cover has very little scuffs, abrasions, or scratches, overall well taken care of, none of the silver foil shards are much affected from prior use. There is a delete drill at bottom left from going right over the heads of record buyers in 1971 ! Something of a phenomenon when virtually impossible to find at top levels. Overall the 53 years past first press from a half century+ ago is a future investment item, to only increase in value over time... Any scuffs or scratches in photos are only on outer cellophane from being around 50+ years. Checked close the actual item is quite solid definitely collectible
Wouldn't be going off the deep end to say it's impossible to find a better copy of this rarity! ... the hexagon shaped disc is clean, see below.
There are no split seams, no tears, no writing ...
- The vinyl: Rated: M- strange hexagon shaped disc is still in original outer designed shaped plastic baggy containing the original "WARNING" sticker advising to manually place needle on record to avoid damage. The silver & black labels are clean both sides
