Description
Russ Garcia FANTASTICA Music From Outer Space Vinyl LP - Liberty LST 7005 First Pressing (1958) The ultimate in transistorized stereophonic hi-fidelity sound
Condition: Very Good Vinyl and Very Good Cover. Vinyl was play-tested on both sides and plays well with good fidelity, no skips, and occasional light background noise. Cover is very nice with good color, has a cutout corner and a tape repair on spine, no writing.
Fantastica: Music from Outer Space AllMusic Review by Jason Ankeny (5 Stars) Fantastica remains the gold standard by which all outer space exotica records are judged -- composed and conducted by Russ Garcia, the album is a marvel of sound and structure, brilliantly evoking the music of the cosmos via revolutionary studio techniques, cinematic arrangements, and innovative electronic elements.
Created in tandem with Liberty Records' chief engineer, Ted Keep, Fantastica bears little resemblance to conventional earthly music -- alongside traditional instruments like woodwinds, harp, and percussion is a series of electronic devices and effects, including a sine wave generator that creates treble and bass tones of almost inhuman extremes. This is sound at its most deeply visual, conjuring horrific images of alien attack ("The Monsters of Jupiter"), natural disaster ("Nova"), and chilling isolation ("The Lost Souls of Saturn") that articulate the collective unconsciousness of humankind with clarity and poetry -- a masterpiece.

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.
MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.
NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear.
VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits.
GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.
GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
