"The first musical work in history to use brain waves to generate sound. On Side A, Alvin Lucier recorded and superimposed eight versions of Music for Solo Performer, overlaying pairs of Western Classical and Jazz percussion instruments, as well as a cardboard box and a trash can. On Side B , Pauline Oliveros recorded four versions, each with a separate World Music percussion orchestra: Indian; West African; Chinese, Japanese and Korean; and Javanese."

Grading
I've done my best to grade by the Record Collector grading standard as follows:
MINT (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
Payment
Paypal preferred; I will aim to send a Paypal invoice shortly after the end of the auction. I can also accept a cheque drawn on a UK bank or, if you want to risk it, cash in pounds sterling or euro, sent by registered post. Sorry, but I won't accept bank transfers.
Postage & Packing
Records will be removed from the outer sleeve to avoid seam splits and packed carefully in new cruciform-style mailers with stiffeners. Rates as follows:
UK by 1st Class post - GBP2.50 for 1st LP or 12" plus GBP1.00 each additional.
Europe by Air - GBP3.50 for 1st LP or 12" plus GBP1.50 each additional.
Rest of World by Air - GBP6.00 for 1st LP or 12" plus GBP2.50 each additional.
Double albums count as 2 LPs.

Please bear in mind, I don’t do this for a living and I can only make it to the post office once or twice a week, so it might take a few days for me to post your parcel.
