SEEBURG MUSIC LIBRARY

1 Industrial Library Record

Record No. IND-118

Place In Use  4-1-74

ONE 9" record with a 2" center hole, made for the Seeburg 1000 Background Music System.  IT IS played at 16⅔ rpm.  Each side contains approximately 39 minutes of instrumental Easy Listening music.  This record was purchased by me from a local jukebox company in the 1980's.  It looks unplayed and is graded MINT.  

The Industrial library consisted of lively, medium- to quick-tempo music to induce workers to be more productive. This was perhaps the most varied and adventurous of the libraries; it contained polkas, mariachi music, twangy guitar, Hawaiian songs, and occasionally synthesizer.

A Seeburg Background Music record is a vinyl record of a non-standard 9 inch (23 cm)-diameter size with a 2 inch (5 cm) center hole. The recording is monaural, with a playing speed of 16⅔ rpm and a density of 420 grooves per inch.  A 0.5 mil diamond stylus is used for reproduction. Each side contains approximately 40 minutes of music (typically 20 songs). Records in each series were numbered 1-28 or 101-128; however, these numbers meant nothing other than where a record belonged in the stack.

Initially, the records were distributed four times a year, in sets of SEVEN records. The operator was supposed to replace records in the system with new records of the same number (e.g.ind-125). Each box was labeled with the library type, date to place in service, and instructions for the operator (including that each record was to be returned to Seeburg after use). Upon return, the records were destroyed. A Basic library box states that the records are the property of "Seeburg Music Library, Inc., 1510 N. Dayton St, Chicago 22, Ill".

All records are strictly graded and come with a 100% money back guarantee. All records are original, first pressings unless otherwise noted. If the record is an LP, EP or has a picture sleeve, the record is graded first, followed by the cover or sleeve.

Grading is based on the following criteria

Mint = store stock new

NEAR Mint = near new with only one or two small insignificant defects

Excellent = extremely nice. Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play

VG++ = extremely nice. Would be EXCELLENT, except for a few  light hairline scratches or scuffs, which do not affect play

VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.

VG = a well-used record that still sounds OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.

VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along
