Side One :
- Olympic Fanfare (4:05
- Olympic Fanfare was composed for the 1984 Olympic Games held in Los Angeles, California. This music, heard by millions of people throughout the world became
synonymous with the Olympic spirit.
2. Cowboys (9:40)
John Williams is the preeminent composer of movie music in Hollywood today. His skill in all styles of composition that set just the right mood, has had a lasting impact on movie goers and listeners alike. Who can forget the theme music of “Jaws”, “Close Encounters”, “E.T.”, and “Star Wars” ? This same skill is evident in “The Cowboys”. The music is perfect in bringing the panorama of the west to the listener.
3. Selections from Oklahoma (9:15)
“Oklahoma” was the first musical show in which Richard Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Oscar Hammerstein ll. Oklahoma became a classic with songs that are the standards in the industry like “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning”, “People Will Say We’re in Love” and “The Surry With the Fringe on Top”. Warren Barker’s stunning arrangement of this musical show is in a class by itself.
Side Two :
1. Selections from Barnum (5:22)
“Barnum” is the Tony Award winning musical of Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart. With songs like “There is a Sucker Born Ev’ry Minute”, “One Brick at a Time”, “Come Follow the Band”, “The Colors of My Life” and “Join the Circus”, it is easy to understand and enjoy the colorful adventures of P.T. Barnum.
2. Selections from Mary Poppins (8:35)
The Walt Disney film, “Mary Poppins”, is fondly remembered by over a generation of people for its catchy, up-beat songs like “Feed the Birds”, “Spoonful of Sugar” and “Chim Chim Cheree”, which always bring smiles and set feet tapping. It is however, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” that caused most of us to trip over our tongues.
3. Selections from West Side Story (9:18)
“West Side Story” is an American “Romeo and Juliet”. Set against and racial strife, it is the classic love story. The music from this smash hit has been called Bernstein’s musical masterpiece. The mood ranges from overt intensity to inner meditation.
The Conductor Lowell Graham : --Lowell Graham, a native of Greeley, Colorado, has earned recognition as one of America’s most talented young conductors. He was graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with both his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees. Additionally, he was the fist person to be awarded the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree in Orchestral Conducting from the Catholic University of America.
Lowell Graham has led orchestras and bands on record and in performance throughout the world. He is the current conductor and commander of the United States Air Force Tactical Air Command Band.
FOR ALL DOMESTIC PACKAGES WE WILL REQUIRE DELIVERY CONFIRMATION
THIS IS AN EXTRA .85. AS OF JAN 2012
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.
