TAS LISTED Wonderfully recorded throughout: In an edition jacket with very mild shelf and a punch hole. The well-pressed disc within should play near mint, if not better. One of the finest orchestral demonstration recordings on the planet, AUDIO SYMPHONY is intriguing in its concept. On side 1, it presents in four movements a symphony composed by Koichi Sugiyama, specifically to evaluate sound. The first movement delivers the full power of the orchestra, the second provides texture and minute detail in the playing of solo flute with strings, the third demonstrates the reverberation of sustained notes, while the fourth is a great test of transients. (The 4th is a doozy, what with plucked strings, percussive attacks, etc.) The end of this side also has YOUNG WHEAT, composed for voice and full orchestra, to complete the test, this one for rock-solid localization. Side 2 proves even more interesting by recording instruments in a dry anechoic environment and then in a hall, so one can hear the differences tonally. (By the way, the bass drum here is a great test for locating a sub-woofer in your listening room so that it doesn't sound muddy, which this recording is NOT.) Other instruments under examination for tonality and attack are drums, hyoshigi, xylophone, piano, biwa, violin, trumpet, tenor sax, and flute. Audiophile fun that should not be missed. It's rarely seen on the market .
CONDITION Descriptions:
I base the condition of each of my Records off of Ebay's Grading System.
• MINT (M) Looks new and unplayed. Very high vinyl luster and no noticeable label defects. Sounds new. With 45rpm records, this does not always mean there is no surface noise at all.
• NEAR MINT (NM) Looks almost new, but has some minor flaws such as a drill hole; unobtrusive writing on label (e.g., an X on a promo copy); minor scuffing on vinyl; minor color flaking on label, or other insignificant flaws that only slightly detract from visual appeal. May have some minor surface noise, but nothing distracting.
• VERY GOOD (VG) There may be light scuffing and some of the original vinyl luster may be lost. The vinyl and label may appear used, but well cared for. Records may have some more obvious flaws that are not visually degrading such as a sticker on the label; more noticeable writing on the label; scuffing and minor scratches on the vinyl; or minor discoloration of the label. There may be very minor warping of the vinyl. There may be a slight scratch not affecting play.
• GOOD (G) Record has visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, minor surface scratches, groove wear, and audible surface noise. Appears well used but not abused. May have a few major flaws, such as scratches, label tears, or stickers, and/or writing.
• FAIR (F) Appears well used and somewhat abused. Audio is not great due to surface noise and scratches. The record may have a stick or a skip. Records in this condition are those you might purchase to fill a hole in your collection until a better copy comes along.
• POOR (P) Well played with little luster and significant surface noise, but still not cracked or broken. Record likely skips and/or sticks. Typically so bad looking that a true “collector” would just toss it out. More useful as a Frisbee. I try not to sell records in this condition.
