Christian Marclay - Record Without A Cover 1-Sided LP 1985 Original US Pressing, 
Recycled Records, Matrix Numbers: RR
Christian Marclay is an artist who has explored the fusion of fine art and audio cultures,  transforming sounds and music into a visible, physical form through performance,  collage, sculpture, installation, photography and video.
This record is a pressing of a recording of manipulated records on multiple turntables. It has surface noise from the old records used and comes without a cover so that  the record will become scratched and add to the sounds on the record.  Christian Marclay wanted each record to be scratched,  so each one becomes an individual performance!
The Inscription on the non-playable side reads - "Record Without A Cover  Christian Marclay  Do Not Store In A Protective Package  33RPM manipulated records on multiple turntables  composed and engineered by Christian Marclay recorded on a 4-track at Plugg, New York City, March 1985, engineered by Steve Macallister made possible with support from Hallwalls in Buffalo, N.Y. and by Catherine and Nicolas Ceresole special thanks to Steve Gallagher, Sokhi Wagner, Nina Fonoroff P  © Recycled records, 304 east 5th street, suite 5B, New York, N.Y. 10003"

Condition Grading Guide: 
MINT: (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. New, sealed or unplayed records would be MINT.
NEAR MINT: (NM) Just below MINT. The record has been played, but it sounds brand new, only a hint of surface noise. The cover looks new, perhaps a slight dent to a corner, or smallest surface mark,
EXCELLENT: (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch, Normal wear and tear on the cover, without any major defects, is acceptable. 
GOOD: (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover suffers from folding, Scuffed edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
FAIR: (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: (B) The record is unplayable or may even be broken and is only used as a collection filler.
These grades may have a + (or occasionally -) added if I feel the record is in between the grades and I always add specific description to each record, as every record (and pressing) is different.
I never list any record below GOOD (G) and usually only list GOOD records if they are particularly rare or interesting.
