"About fifty homemade instruments designed to be as small as possible and placed on racks so as to be played from one spot(in a rotating, standing position) - styles of many countries were adapted - such as irish harp, koto, Drums, Thumb Piano, Flutes, Sitar and Dulcimer - there are 311 strings total - the key bass was adapted to be played by foot along with several other homemade foot instruments - the ability to make electric pick-ups from coils and computer parts was taught to me by Jon Lazell - Jon also allowed me to adapt some of his inventions & motivated me to invent some of my own - the result - "the Universal One Man Orchestra", primitive, contemporary and futuristic."

Most copies were signed by the artist.

The backcover features info about additional copies of the album being available for $5 and full addresse, as well as playback instructions ("On Phonograph - adjust the treble up alot and the bass down a fair amoung") and info about him being available for weddings, parties and concerts with full telephone number.

ABOUT HOW I GRADE:


LPs are graded visually and conservatively under many bright lights. Always cleaned on a Pro-Cleaner.

Questionable marks are play graded & some are play graded so I can hear them.

LPs always receive new Outside Poly Sleeve and Inner Poly Sleeve.


Still Sealed/New: 

Never opened...still in original shrinkwrap....any tears in the shrinkwrap will be noted in description.

Cannot really grade Vinyl as I have never seen it.  This is a SEALED item and AS IS SALE :)


Mint: 

VINYL-  New condition...Exactly like new, no flaws whatsoever. Nice & Shiny. 

COVER- will look like it has just been removed from shrinkwrap, or may still have most of the shrinkwrap still on it.

I rarely ever grade an LP Mint...


Mint- (Mint Minus)

VINYL- Played once, no flaws, but a remote ever-so-slight amount of that shiny luster may be gone. 

COVER- Jacket will be virtually flawless, slightest signs of wear, maybe one bumped corner, or a hint Shrinkwrap, if still on, may have some stickers on it. Any defects or odd bits will be noted in description.

All will be detailed in above description.


VG++: (Very Good Plus Plus). 

VINYL- This record may have some marks (very, very light scuffs or surface marks or a bit of very light paper scuffing) that may be noticed in a quieter passage. 

COVER-  It will start to show more signs of wear than a VG++ jacket, the ringwear may be slightly more evident, the edgewear or corner more defined as well. All will be detailed in above description. All will be detailed in above description.


VG+: (Very Good Plus) 

VINYL- This record will have some light marks (light scratches and light sleeve scuffs), and it might may have the slightest occasional pop or crackle in parts.  Detailed notes any any visible surface mark will be made in description.. Still really nice and I would be happy to own it.

COVER-  It will start to show more signs of wear than a VG++ jacket, the ringwear may be slightly more evident, the edgewear or corner more defined as well. 

All will be detailed in above description.

VG: (Very Good)  

VINYL- The record may have several scratches and scuffs, though aside from some popping and crackling, will still be an enjoyable listen. 

COVER- The jacket will have far more wear previous grades, such as: edgewear to the point of some light seam splits, some light ringwear (not terrible, but still distracting from the image), edge corner wear, minor writing or a few stickers, or other similar defects.

All will be detailed in above description.


VG-: (Very Good Minus) 

VINYL- Not terrible, usually represents 1 or 2 very visible marks or scratches, might be a little sketchy in a few spots, other than that would fair as a VG record. 

COVER- The jacket will show wear - ringwear, seam should be able to be taped up for repair), some writing and/or stickers, edge and corner wear, or other similiar defects.

All will be detailed in above description.


Good+ & Below

VINYL- LPs with these conditions will not be listed regularly, and will only be sold if the Title/LP is a Collectible or sought after item.  Will play but with crackle or issues.
