Description

Seeburg Encore Library Records

#38, #39, and #40

The Seeburg Encore Library was introduced in April 1963 for use in cocktail lounges and restaurants.  Although the Encore records were still essentially Easy Listening instrumentals, they were considerably jazzier and "loungier" than Seeburg's other background music series and the tracks featured impressive instrumental solos.  The Encore records featured extended frequency response and a wider groove cut.  They sound every bit as good as standard mono LP records of the period; in fact it is safe to say that these are the best sounding 16 rpm records ever made.  A new version of the Seeburg 1000 was unveiled at the same time.  It was called the Encore Phonograph and unlike the previous versions of the 1000, it was housed in a handsome Danish Modern cabinet and intended to be in public view.  The Encore Phonograph and records were sold to customers outright rather than leased.  At $695, the machine was a hard sell; few customers were willing to plunk down that kind of change in 1963 for a phonograph that only played proprietary formatted 16 rpm records.  After a scant few years, Seeburg pulled the plug on the Encore series. Consequently, these records are scarcer than your standard issue Basic, Mood, or Industrial records.  The three that are up for sale here are all in VG+ condition - they are used, but they have been play graded; no skips and they sound fantastic.  They are supplied in their original glassine sleeves.  Ask me about Seeburg Background Music on MP3 CDs...  stormyhawn@yahoo.com
