Experiments in Disintegrating Language/Konkrete Canticle-UK Vinyl LP-1971-HEAR

	£		29
	$		38

UK vinyl LP album record on Arts Council Records (33AC1971) from October 1971.  Musique Concrète-Speech-Experimental.  You can't get more experimental/avant-garde than this!  Supposedly poems, done in a rhythmic, almost gibberish way!  Published by the Arts Council of Great Britain.  Includes 'artists': Paula Claire, Bob Cobbing, Michael Chant, Charles Verey, Neil Mills and Thomas A Clark.  Some of the titles: hymn to the sacred mushroom, astound, a sandwich poem, some flowers, blood rumble and some very idle diamonds!!  Never issued in a picture sleeve, was released in a pvc sleeve with large insert, all included here.  The inner sheet has been folded sometime in it's history, so has light crease through middle. 

**Any item that sells for more than £50.00 must be posted outside the UK by International Signed For postage.  Please wait for invoice before paying if this is the case**

I have included a high bit (320) sound file.  All pictures and sound files are from the actual record you are bidding on.

Visual Grading--

Vinyl looks - side 'A' looks Ex; side 'B' looks as if no sign of play, but there is a small section on first track that shows 'clouding' presumably from being stored in a poly bag sleeve, does not affect play. 

Please listen to sound file below (including 'blood rumble' the first track on side 'B'), these are taken from the actual LP you are bidding on, with no manipulation:

Record condition gradings are done visually only, unless I state what the record actually plays like.  This is because I don’t have time to play everything, so bear this in mind.  I am quite strict grading so you can feel confident in my conclusions.  Anyone unhappy with my gradings can return item for refund.  If you wish to check my feedback you will find I have not had one reported case of anyone unhappy with my gradings.  I tend to be very conservative, as a general guide my gradings are thus:

Ex:-I only give this grade to records that are virtually untouched without any blemishes or defects, and with no marks, scuffs or scratches on the vinyl.

VG++:-This grade indicates an almost perfect record, but the sleeve might have minimal signs of wear and the vinyl may show small signs of play.

VG+:-The sleeve might have signs of wear, though any seam wear/splits will be stated.  The vinyl might have signs of wear, but only from being played relatively infrequentely.

VG:-The sleeve will have wear, though any seam splits will be stated.  The vinyl will have wear, but no major damage/scratches that affect play, wear will have happened through frequent play, resulting in some background noise.

Good/Worn:-The vinyl will appear worn, may or maynot affect play, wear will have happened through frequent play or often because it has not been stored in a sleeve, probably resulting in background noise.

As a rule I would not sell any vinyl below VG condition, unless it was particularly rare or as expected (eg reggae singles).

Will post anywhere in the world, except South America, I'm afraid.  All records are sent out in manufactured mailing envelopes with cardboard stiffeners, the vinyl taken out of its sleeve. 

Similarly, I always post in UK by recorded delivery, and outside UK I get a receipt (proof of postage).
