Plainly put :
One of the finest records you will ever hear ………………………..
This , the 1974 release on Nonesuch (H-71291) , has Des Roches directing The New Jersey
Percussion Ensemble in works by Varese , Colgrass , Cowell , Saperstein , and Oak .
Please , make no mistake , this ensemble, this record, is an audiophile doozy !

Just try the Cowell on for size-Ostinato Pianissimo” for 2 string pianos, 8 rice bowls,
2 wood blocks , guiro , tambourine , 2 bongs , 3 drums , 3 gongs and a xylophone .
Trust me , it only gets worse from there . Fact is , I would suggest you harbor your pets
elsewhere during the playing of this records , even move the fish tank , if you can .
A brilliant record , worthy of note and its place on the TAS list as one of the best classical
recordings of all time .
Please watch your volume on this record , it will eat your system for lunch if you are not
careful . (The kind of bass that will blow out a match , I kid you not )

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS , IT IS $14 PER LP AND ADD $3



ADDITIONAL PER LP

 

Unless you buy a vinyl record that  is SEALED, or in NEAR-MINT condition,there will always be some type of surface sounds, or background noise, known as pops and crackling.

If the LP has been played a couple of times, it can never be perfect. This is especially noticeable in classical records, which have quiet passages.

 

I know there is software that you can use to clean up your records to record on CDs, if you so choose. 

 

You are buying vinyl LPs because they sound better than CDs, however the pops and crackling come with an LP.


Ratings and Definitions of LP Conditions in order to avoid confusion:

ALL TAS RECORDS ARE LISTENED TO ON MY EQUIPMENT WHICH IS A HIGH END TECHNICS TURNTABLE & CARTRIDGE WITH A SANSUI  AMP. I DO TRY TO LISTEN TO SECTIONS OF ALL RECORDS, BUT SOMETIMES THEY ARE VISUALLY GRADED IF THEY LOOK REALLY CLEAN.

Mint (M). Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played or still sealed. I use this rating very sparingly – Cover must be in the shrink wrap for this grade. Some promo copies can get this grade since they originally were never in shrink wrap.

Near Mint (NM). LP cover, inserts, e.g., lyrics sleeves, posters, promo cards, have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable flaws. LP shows hardly any signs that it ever has been played or it has been treated with great respect, cover can be in shrink wrap unless it is a promo copy.

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++). This LP may show some signs that it was played a few times or many times but the LP was treated with respect. LP surface may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches/hairlines that do not affect the overall listening experience. The cover may have some ring/spine wear and discoloration. Inner sleeves/booklets may have some slight wear. The LP cover may have also a cut-out hole, corner indentation not disturbing the overall condition of the LP itself. Can have a sticker or label attached if it is a promo copy. There will be pops and crackling in the quiet sections.

Very Good Plus(VG+). Conditions as described in VG++ may be found in a more pronounced way on LP for this rating. Surface noise may be evident upon playing, especially in soft and other passages,  but not overpowering the music. Wear may be noticeable. Scratches may affect the sound in places. The cover and the labels may show some writing, or have stickers or residue attached.

Very Good (VG). LP in Very Good condition will have surface noise and scratches and it might have one skip, which will be noted in the description. The cover or sleeve may have seam splits, (however archival transparent tape will be used to fix the seam).

Good (G). I WILL NOT SELL A RECORD IN THIS CONDITION.

Also, there will be grading which is in between like VG to VG+ as cover might be one grade and record another.

A  SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING REFUNDS:

Each request for a refund will be dealt with on an individual basis and please email me so the situation can be worked out.

FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Any item returned for refund must be in the same condition it was shipped in and clearly marked on the customs form "RETURN FOR REFUND" otherwise a customs fee will be charged to me and WILL BE DEDUCTED from the refund amount.
