A SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING RECORDS-THE SMALL PRINT
TAS Copland BILLY THE KID & RODEO Turnabout 34169 NM
COVER IS VG++
RECORD IS NM - Green Diamond Label- STEREO
Donald Johanos and the Dallas –
Copland BILLY THE KID & RODEO –
Original Turnabout TV 34169 – ON THE TAS RCOMMENDED LIST
THIS INFO TAKEN FROM ANOTHER SOURCE:
I tell you without reservation, that this is one of the very finest recordings you will ever hear on your hi-fi system.
Fact is, in my hi-fi salon years back, when I first approached a turntable with this LP, the audiophiles in
attendance during our listening session laughed out loud.
“You’re playing a Turnabout?” they asked, incredulous.
I couldn’t blame them; after all, we had been playing Decca Head series LPs, a few Lyritas, and a Gale record
or two.
But I will also tell you, that the moment the stylus hit those Turnabout grooves, not a jaw in the place didn’t
drop and remain so, as indeed Donald Johanos and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra delivered BILLY THE KID
with about as much presence, dynamics, and “in the room” sound as an LP should be allowed to muster.
To this day, I consider it in the top ten LPs of all time, a record I might add, that was on the original TAS list
and only removed when the re-issues didn’t hold up to this copy before you now.
PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR ALL DOMESTIC PACKAGES WE WILL REQUIRE DELIVERY CONFIRMATION
THIS IS AN EXTRA .80.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS , IT IS $15 PER LP AND ADD $4
ADDITIONAL PER LP
Unless you buy a vinyl record that is SEALED, or in NEAR-MINT condition,there will always be some type of surface sounds, or background noise, known as pops and crackling.
If the LP has been played a couple of times, it can never be perfect. This is especially noticeable in classical records, which have quiet passages.
I know there is software that you can use to clean up your records to record on CDs, if you so choose.
You are buying vinyl LPs because they sound better than CDs, however the pops and crackling come with an LP.
Ratings and Definitions of LP Conditions in order to avoid confusion:
ALL TAS RECORDS ARE LISTENED TO ON MY EQUIPMENT WHICH IS A HIGH END TECHNICS TURNTABLE & CARTRIDGE WITH A SANSUI AMP. I DO TRY TO LISTEN TO SECTIONS OF ALL RECORDS, BUT SOMETIMES THEY ARE VISUALLY GRADED IF THEY LOOK REALLY CLEAN.
Mint (M). Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played or still sealed. I use this rating very sparingly – Cover must be in the shrink wrap for this grade. Some promo copies can get this grade since they originally were never in shrink wrap.
Near Mint (NM). LP cover, inserts, e.g., lyrics sleeves, posters, promo cards, have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable flaws. LP shows hardly any signs that it ever has been played or it has been treated with great respect, cover can be in shrink wrap unless it is a promo copy.
Very Good Plus Plus (VG++). This LP may show some signs that it was played a few times or many times but the LP was treated with respect. LP surface may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches/hairlines that do not affect the overall listening experience. The cover may have some ring/spine wear and discoloration. Inner sleeves/booklets may have some slight wear. The LP cover may have also a cut-out hole, corner indentation not disturbing the overall condition of the LP itself. Can have a sticker or label attached if it is a promo copy. There will be pops and crackling in the quiet sections.
Very Good Plus(VG+). Conditions as described in VG++ may be found in a more pronounced way on LP for this rating. Surface noise may be evident upon playing, especially in soft and other passages, but not overpowering the music. Wear may be noticeable. Scratches may affect the sound in places. The cover and the labels may show some writing, or have stickers or residue attached.
Very Good (VG). LP in Very Good condition will have surface noise and scratches and it might have one skip, which will be noted in the description. The cover or sleeve may have seam splits, (however archival transparent tape will be used to fix the seam).
Good (G). I WILL NOT SELL A RECORD IN THIS CONDITION.
Also, there will be grading which is in between like VG to VG+ as cover might be one grade and record another.
A SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING REFUNDS:
