This LP, titled as it was when it first came out on an EMS LP in 1950, Complete Works of Edgard Varèse, Vol. 1, has an interesting and storied history. Made by the short-lived Elaine Music Shop label and featuring groups from Juilliard led by Frederic Waldman, this was to be the first volume of two or three to feature what was then considered Varèse's "complete" works. Nevertheless, as EMS went out of business, there was no follow up; aspiring composer Frank Zappa discovered a copy of this album being used as a demonstration disc for high-fidelity playback systems in a department store, and a career -- his -- was born. Zappa later recounted this formative experience, and others relating to Varèse, in a 1971 essay entitled "Edgar Varèse: The Idol of My Youth," which was included in the liner notes of the second LP issue of this album on the Finnadar label in 1979.
From a recording perspective, Complete Works of Edgard Varèse, Vol. 1, was state of the art in 1950. EMS was utilizing magnetic tape technology new to the whole recording industry at the time, and through patience and care achieved results that rivaled, even exceeded what both RCA Victor and Columbia could do at that time. The historic value of Complete Works of Edgard Varèse, Vol. 1, is extremely high, and these performances were among very few Varèse endorsed in his own lifetime; for devotees of the composer, that should be enough of a motivating factor. From a purely performance standpoint, the version of Octandre here can stand with any recording of this work made, past or present.

RECORD GRADING POLICY
MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you'?re getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky's the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
