NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF BROADCASTING RADIO & TV COURSE 9X12" VINYL SET

	£		200

UP FOR GRABS, THIS ULTRA-RARE NINE-RECORD SET 'RADIO AND TELEVISION ANNOUNCING COURSE' FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF OF BROADCASTING, WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA

I RARELY INCLUDE PERSONAL STORIES AND BACKGROUND IN MY LISTINGS, BUT I FEEL IT IS RELEVANT HERE. THOUGH I'VE LIVED IN THE UK FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, I WAS BORN IN CANADA. MY LATE FATHER WAS ACCEPTED INTO THE INSTITUTE WHILE LIVING IN CANADA, WHICH IS WHY I AM NOW IN POSSESSION OF THESE RECORDS. HE HAD AN INTEREST IN BROADCASTING AND WAS A DJ FOR A TIME, WHICH EXPLAINS WHY HE APPLIED FOR THE TRAINING PROGRAMME.

THE SET CONTAINS 36 LESSONS, SPREAD ACROSS NINE VINYL GATEFOLD RECORDS. EACH RECORD CONTAINS FOUR LESSONS, AND INCLUDES PRINTED MATERIAL TO ACCOMPANY EACH ONE. IT WAS ONLY ISSUED TO PEOPLE WHO WERE ACCEPTED INTO CANADA'S NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF BROADCASTING TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR RADIO AND TV ANNOUNCERS. ALSO INCLUDED IS A WOVEN SEW-ONE PATCH, FEATURING THE NIB LOGO.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT EACH RECORD SIDE CONTAINS TWO LESSONS. AFTER THE FIRST LESSON ON THE SIDE FINISHES, THERE IS A LOCKING GROOVE, WHICH MEANS THE NEEDLE MUST BE LIFTED MANUALLY TO START THE SECOND LESSON ON THE SIDE.

I WOULD GRADE MOST OF THE RECORDS IN THE SET AS 'GOOD'. THEY HAVE TICKS IN SOME PLACES, BUT THE MOST PRESENT ISSUE IS SURFACE NOISE, WHICH DOES NOT INTEREFERE WITH PLAYBACK, BUT IS MORE NOTICEABLE DUE TO THE SPOKE-WORD NATURE OF THE RECORDINGS. SURFACE NOISE IS MORE NOTICEABLE ON THE FIRST 5 RECORDS, AND MUCH LESS PRESENT ON THE LATER ONES.

RECORD 2 HOWEVER, HAS SOME VISIBLE MARKING (SEE PICTURE) AND THUS A SKIP CLOSE TO THE BEGINNING OF SIDE 1, THOUGH THE RECORD DOES NOT STICK, SO I'D CLASS IT AS FAIR. RECORD 9 HAS A VERY SIMILAR VISIBLE MARKING, AND THOUGH IT TICKS, IT DOES NOT JUMP DURING PLAYBACK.

THE GATEFOLD SLEEVES ARE ALL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH JUST A FEW DENTS AND SIGNS OF EDGEWEAR, BUT NO RIPS OR TEARS. THE INNER SLEEVES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, BUT IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT EACH IS PURPOSELLY FOLDED AT TWO CORNERS, TO ALLOW IT TO BE SLOTTED INTO THE SLEEVE'S POCKET.

ALL THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE INCLUDED FOR EACH LESSON, EACH IN ITS CORRESPONDING VINYL SLEEVE. THESE ARE IN GENERALLY GOOD CONDITION, THOUGH ARE SOMEWHAT DISCOLOURED FROM AGE. ONE BEARS SOME STAINING FROM A CUP, AND SOMETHING WHICH COULD BE FOOD (SEE PICTURE). EACH LESSON IS INDIVIDUALLY MARKED, AND STAPLED TOGETHER. THE AGE OF THESE STAPLES HAS RESULTED IN SOME RUST STAINING TO THE SURROUNDING PAPER IN A SMALL AREA, AND OCCASIONALLY ONTO THE INNER SLEEVE, BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. ONE OF THE LESSONS IS MISSING ITS STAPLE.
