Some words on this issue: YUASA JOJI: “Triplicity For Contrabass – Masahiko Tanaka, Electronic Studio of the NHK” (RCA Red Seal – JRZ-2104) (Record: Mint / Jacket: Mint). Original 1974 pressing, 1st and only press of this album, never has been reissued in any format yet. NEVER turns up. First of all, don’t let the title mislead you since this disc – although its has processed sounds of contrabass on it – is 100% pure and sheer electronic music, vintage white noise spiced up with endless stream if female telephone operators popping in and out of the mix. But I am going a bit too fast here. Made out of three compositions entitled “Triplicity For Contrabass” (avant-garde – contemporary and electronic music composition - 1970); “Projection Esemplastic for White-Noise” (electronic music composition - 1964) and “Voices Coming” (tape-splicing music composition - 1970) Yuasa Joji delivers here his ultimate masterpiece, one of the cornerstone recordings to document the evolution of electronic music in Japan. Ranging from modulated and altered contrabass sounds towards sheer blizzard storms of eerie electronic white noise beating down your eardrums evoking images of detuned jet engines, bleeping submarine-like sonar eavesdropping and aborted shuttle missions over to spliced tape snippets of telephone operators zooming in and out of focus, evoking echo-y stipulations and ghostly revelations, beamed up and out of a foggy afterlife.

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
