Tod Dockstader called "Eight Electronic Pieces".

It got a rave review:

"February 23, 1970: The music trips are really helping me get through this intense winter.

"Dockstader is the only one you can count on to show up, trip after trip after trip.

"It always seems to be the climax, too, after pretenders such as Pink Floyd.

"Exposure to Dockstader has made me really critical of the music my friends are listening to."

"It is indeed gratifying to see Dockstader rediscovered by new generations of electronic music fans, but not surprising.

"He is simply one of the best practitioners of this tricky art, a genuine innovator.

"While his discography is not of the sort that could bury a healthy cabbage plant, the recordings he made are consistently brilliant, the music retaining its capacity to astonish.

"This album was originally released by Folkways. The recording consists of eight pieces that fit together as a suite, not revealing the gaps between them to any but the most concentrated listener.

"From an initial few seconds done in a kind of cheery, accessible sonority, Dockstader slips in the door like a costumed burglar and begins to create a sound world both real and unreal." -allmusic.com

A SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING RECORDS-THE SMALL PRINT

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.
