Liner notes
THIS ALBUM IS A DO-IT-YOURSELF DIAL-A-POEM KIT
Dial-A-Poem received millions of phone calls, yet we were disconnected.
Open the lines to the poets! We used the telephone for poetry. They used it to spy on you. Poetry plumbers uite! We invite you to do it yourself. Start your own Dial-A-Poem in your own hometown. Get hooked up to the telephones. Call your local telephone company business offfice; order a system and put on it these LP selections; put on your own local poets and we'll supply you with more poets.
The system we used at The Museum of Modern Art, NY, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Architectural League of New York, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and in Albany, New York was 12 telephone lines each connected to an automatic answering set, which holds the recording of a poet reading a poem. Each phone line has a different poem and all the phone lines were changed daily. So dialing one number, you randomly got one of 12 poets. There are 70 Dial-A-Poem poets, each with at least 12 selections, or over 1,000 selections in all.

GRADING STANDARDS (based on Goldmine)
M (Mint): Perfect, used for sealed records.
NM (Near Mint): Apparently unplayed, with no signs of wear, or at most, one or two inconsequentilal flaws that don't affect play.
NM- (Near Mint Minus): Minor paper scuffs or flaws that are likely inaudible.
VG+ (Very Good Plus ): Record shows signs of careful use. Scuffs or light scratches are common but not very pronounced. Slight surface noise.
VG (Very Good): Visible light scratches or scuffs are more pronounced, evident surface noise. Noticeable groove wear that affects the sound.
VG- (Very Good Minus): A well-used but playable record. Still has a decent sound despite scratches, surface noise, groove wear.
G (Good): Record plays, but is probably only useful for reference. I hardly ever sell these unless it's a very rare item.
GRADING STANDARDS (78 RPM)
Same as above. Comments on surface lustre, edge chips, etc. will always be included.
I usually grade visually, but I often listen to more valuable items. I try not to over-estimate the quality of a record, but mistakes are sometimes made, and people's opinions sometimes differ as to grading. I guarantee fairness and customer satisfaction, and will do everything possible to correct mistakes and issue refunds when justified.
