The Incredible Sounds Of Synclavier II


New England Digital Corp. NED 1 USA 1981 LP Vinyl: vg+
Cover: (issued without a cover, stored in generic cardboard sleeve) Ultra rare private pressing demo record on clear blue vinyl, an artifact of electronic music history that was originally given out to prospective buyers of this classic synth (which went for over $200k fully loaded). It contains a montage of brief melodies and wild sound effects showing off the amazing capabilities of this system that combined sampled and FM-synthesized sounds and was designed by legendary electronic composer Jon Appleton at Dartmouth College. The music and programming on this disc is credited to Denny Jaeger and Bill Keenan. The Sync II synth has been used in both avant garde and pop settings, featuring prominently in the recordings of Frank Zappa, Pat Metheny, Michael Jackson, Laurie Anderson, Mike Thorne, Daniel Miller, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Soft Cell, Marc Almond, Bronski Beat, ABBA, Genesis, Chick Corea, George Duke, Sting, Tomita, and Stevie Wonder.

Feel free to email with any shipping questions. Payment - I prefer Paypal (which allows for fastest possible shipment) and also accept cash, money order (from US financial institutions only, including BidPay, US Postal, certified US bank check, etc., international bidders please take note!), and Western Union money transfer. If you are paying by Paypal and have won multiple items, please use a single Paypal payment. I will send an invoice email to all winners shortly after my auctions close, and another email after payment has been received to confirm item shipment. Packing - I pack professionally using new record mailers exclusively from Cameron Packaging (which I have determined are the best and most protective). For used lps, I remove the lp and inserts from the jacket, cover it in a layer of bubble wrap, and then reinforce it with a cardboard insert. All records are shipped with poly plastic sleeves. All packages are completely sealed with strong packing tape covering all openings. If you'd like your package done any differently, just let me know. Feel free to email me if you have any questions (need more info, want more pictures, etc.); you can use the 'ask seller a question' link above. My condition rating scale is -G+/-VG+/-EX+/-NM/M (only sealed records are M). Satisfaction guaranteed; if you have any problems with your order please contact me directly.
