description:
"The world of sound, as it applies to the state of the art of electronic music, is that which we are about to explore..." Both an impressive artifact of early electronic music and a dream come true for any sound effects-seeking DJ, this legendary box set documents the state of the then-young medium by offering a kind of construction set of sounds demonstrating various types of available synthesis, mixing, splicing, filtering, and sound-generating techniques. Tracks are Sine Waveform, Sawtooth Waveform, White Sound Composition, Transient Generator, Keyboard Control, Quarter Tones, Ring Modulation, Tape Delay, etc. Scattered among the raw materials are also brief experimental compositions by Beaver and Krause meant to serve as examples of how the demonstrated techniques can be put to use. All of the recorded sounds originated from a Moog Series II Synthesizer. Also included is a 16-page booklet in beautiful condition with extensive notes and diagrams, an introduction to electronic music theory, a glossary, and the score to one of the original compositions. Beaver and Krause would go on to pioneer electronic pop and prog with classic albums like Ragnarok, but this was their first ever release. Highly recommended.

US Shipping Media Mail with tracking is $5.00 for up to 3 12" records, then $0.65 for each additional; Priority Mail is also available but pricing depends on zipcode (you can check eBay's calculated shipping price on this page); other expedited shipping options and insurance are all available on request. Combine multiple items to save on shipping.

International Shipping 1 or 2 records to Europe/UK/Scandinavia/Asia/Australia is $24.00 for USPS First Class Airmail with tracking, and roughly $12 for every 2 additional lps depending on weight (7" records will cost less; heavy box sets will cost more). 1 or 2 records to Canada is $16.50 for First Class Airmail with tracking. 1 or 2 records to Mexico is $21.50 for First Class Airmail with tracking. Other international destinations vary as does the cost of adding additional lps depending on weight, email for a quote. Please note that First Class Airmail usually takes about 2 weeks and is uninsured. International shipments requiring insurance can use the faster but more expensive USPS Priority Mail International service or other expedited insured methods. Combine multiple items to save on shipping; I can hold paid records to be combined with a future purchase if desired. Feel free to email with any shipping questions.

Packing I pack professionally and with the utmost care drawn from years of experience trading vinyl internationally. I use new record mailers which I have determined are the best and most protective, reinforced with cardboard inserts and bubble wrap padding. All records are shipped with poly plastic sleeves and with the vinyl outside of the cover to prevent damage. All packages are completely sealed with strong packing tape covering all openings. Unless requested, no paper invoice is included in the package, both to save trees and to avoid customs difficulties. If you'd like your package done any differently, just let me know.

Payment I accept Paypal (which allows for fastest possible shipment). Please email with any payment questions. If you are paying by Paypal and have won multiple items, please use a single Paypal payment. I will send an eBay invoice to winners shortly after my auctions close, and an email after payment has been received to confirm item shipment.

Other Info Feel free to email me if you have any questions (need more info, want more pictures, etc.); you can use eBay's 'ask a question' function. Records are visually graded unless otherwise noted; my condition rating scale is M (sealed) / NM (unplayed) / EX (barely used) / VG (some evident wear from prior use but no major flaws) / G (major flaws) / F (very major flaws). All included album inserts are pictured in the listing; what you see is what you get, if I know an insert is missing I will mention it in the description. Satisfaction guaranteed; if you have any problems with your order please contact me directly.
