Review: This is believed to be the best recorded, produced , and performed audiophile record of all time, I do concur, Hi Fi A la Espanola and Ansermet, The Royal Ballet at Covent Garden are in a distant 2nd place!

About M&K RealTime: After creating probably the most significant track in English jazz club history, and having created a soundsystem for Walter Becker to mis Steely Dan's classic "Pretzel Logic" on... in 1976, Dan Kreisel and his partner, Jonas Miller, decided to make Direct-To-Disc recordings. Kreisel went to the “Celebrity Center” in California where he heard Don Baaska and Valli Scavelli playing with their band. He liked their sound, and wanted to use them for M&K Sound’s first Direct-To-Disc demonstration record. Don Baaska said, “ I recall now that Ken was more interested in the quality of the sound on his recordings, rather than the musical content. It was all direct to disc at 45rpm with specially designed mics and absolutely no editing of any kind. Really organic. Musicians were pleased to record gratis under those conditions.”
This is what made Ken Kreisel such a genius, for he had the ability to record and provide the most incredible range of sounds, that were used as source material for the testing of subwoofer speakers. He would use pipe organs with saxophones and orchestras, music boxes with high bells, real howitzer cannons fired simultaneously for level and impact comparisons between speakers. Ken also used marching bands, flamenco dancers, and even recorded the sound of a steam locomotive using a microphone that was set a few feet away from the wheels as they rolled by.

Mint (M) Perfect Condition, which basically means that it is as good as new, literally. The vinyl has to look new and sound as though it was never played, and the cover has to look untouched. Some argue that the only mint records are brand new unopened ones still in their original packing.
Near Mint (NM) Vinyl is near perfect. At most, a light scuff appears on the record, but it should play without any noise or skips. The record sleeve should also be near perfect with only minor signs of wear. There should be no" outline sleeve.)
Very Good+
(VG+) This is the grading category where the quality of the sound is affected -- there will be some surface noise -- and the vinyl will show wear, including surface scuffs and some light scratches. However, the record is still very listenable as there are no deep scratches that cause skips. On the cover, the corners may be slightly bent, but not broken. There may be wear to the seams but not tears or holes.
Very Good
(VG) Vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well enough. Surface noise will probably be present, including pops and clicks. At higher volume levels, the music should overpower any pops and clicks present. There may be seam splitting, but not complete separation of the sleeve panels from each other. There will be noticeable ring wear on the cover, but the cover should for the most part still be in good condition.
Good (VG-) Vinyl is well played and looks it. However, the record should still play without skipping. It will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks. Loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves. This grade depends a lot on the owner and the type of records he or she collects. A rock record may still sound ok at a high volume, but quieter styles of music will be practically unlistenable. The record cover may have many problems including seam splits, tears, and writing on it.
Fair/Poor (F/P)
Using the word fair for this quality of record is, in the opinion of JRS, too generous and not recommended since it may be misleading. Records described as fair (F) or Poor (P) in the Goldmine grading system are ones that are basically unlistenable. Surface noise, skips and pops make hearing what's on the record nearly impossible, if not completely impossible. The cover is falling apart, torn, and has writing all over it. The only reason to keep it would be if the record is extremely rare or you want to eventually melt the vinyl and shape it into an ashtray.
