Gate 5 Records Issue C. Beautiful original copy of world renown avant garde composer Harry Partch's "Satyr-Play Music for Dance Theatre". Includes Harry's own paste-on sticker of his Petaluma address in the bottom left corner on the back(see scan). Also included is the original Gate 5 booklet insert entitled "Photographs of Instruments Built by Harry Partch and Heard in His Recorded Music"(16 pages of photos, history, etc). Truly a piece of American musical history and exceedingly rare in this condition. Record grades consevatively at EX-VG+ with a few paper scuffs that do not affect play. There are no scratches and the vinyl has full gloss and apperas unplayed. The label on side A is perfect and on side B has a few small marks around the spindle only noticable under bright light. The cover is a flawless NM with tight spines/corners and no ringwear or discoloration. Email me with any questions. Also check my other auctions for a NM copy of "The Bewitched." Thanks!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My Grading Scale:
- NM -----> My highest grade. Should pretty much be perfect. Wax Should look barely if ever played. Cover should be pretty much perfect.
- EX -----> Think of this as a VG++ or NM-, a record that is used, but was VERY well cared for. Wax should be glossy and will have nothing more than a few light scuffs. A bright light may reveal a few light marks, but nothing major. An EX cover will show just a few touches of wear, but all the seams should be intact, and the corners should be sharpish.
- VG+ -----> A VG+ has light wear and tear, but a record worth keeping and enjoying. Wax should retain most of its original gloss, but may have some visible paper scuffs and light marks. There will be nothing you can feel with your finger. Vinyl should play with minimal noise, with nothing to distract the listener, even during quiet parts. Wax may have SLIGHT warp, but again, nothing that affects play. VG+ covers should have thier art intact. They may have light ringwear, or a cut-out. There may be some discoloration, mashed corners or small seam splits.
- VG -----> VG records are used, but still play well. There may be many visible marks and there may be some pops here and there, or some crackle, but NO SKIPS and even the quiet parts should sound decent. A VG cover should have the cover art mostly intact, but there may be ring wear, some seam splits, discoloration, mashed corners, and general wear.
