Description

The Horace Mann School -- 1964 Mannicord LP

Produced by The Horace Mannikin, Larry Jay and Andy Tobias, Editors • WHMS

Original 1964 US custom pressing on no label (catalog # RB-332).

This is a really unique audio yearbook from the Horace Mann prep school. It presents "a candid picture of school life" through the use of audio tape from many different sources... students, teachers, events, etc. The entire B-side is an artsy attempt to (crudely) tape-splice together a song, "Our Song of 1964", out of random clips of school life mashed-up with a woman singing in German ""Die Moritat von Mackie Messer" ("Mack The Knife")... a la Ernie Kovacs. Some of the splices are other songs being sung or performed by bands, or people yelling and screaming, or bad jokes, or strange found sounds. The whole effect of all this tape-splicing is so jarring at times that you think you could be listening to a Halfer Trio or Nurse With Wound record... truly a bizarre listen.

Andrew Tobias (born 20 April 1947) is an American journalist, author, and columnist. His main body of work is on investment, but he has also written on politics, insurance, and other topics. Since 1999, he has been the treasurer of the Democratic National Committee.

Shipping And Payment Info

Vinyl can be shipped worldwide via any method.
I will combine shipping. Winners of multiple items save substantially on shipping costs.

Within the US: Media Mail shipping is calculated automatically based on weight. NOTE: Media Mail can be S-L-O-W sometimes, especially to the West Coast. Media Mail delivery time is usually anywhere from 4 to 10 days, but occasionally it takes 2 weeks or even longer to reach the West Coast from here. Please consider this potential delay before you decide to go with Media Mail instead of Priority Mail.

Priority Mail is a highly recommended option for all vinyl, it's a lot faster and much more secure -- I double-box (and sometimes triple-box) all LP's shipped via Priority Mail. Cost is reasonable and calculated based on your zip code.

Shipping costs include delivery confirmation for all US orders.

    Combine shipping with other items: The cost of each extra item is calculated automatically based on weight: if you want to add a record or CD to your order the cost is less than $1, usually around 50 cents per extra item depending on total weight.

Outside the US: shipping is calculated automatically based on your country and the weight of the record. IMPORTANT: Priority Mail International and Express Mail International are the only services which provide tracking. First Class Mail International is normally a very reliable service, but it does not provide tracking so if you choose First Class Mail International you agree not to hold me responsible in the unlikely event of loss or damage to the package -- please review my 12+ years of 12500+ positive feedbacks if you have any concerns, and contact me for more details.

    Combine shipping with other items: If you want to add a normal-weight record (7", 12", or LP) or CD to your order the cost is reasonable, usually not more than $3.99 per extra item, often less, depending on total weight.

All records are packaged securely, protected by both stiff and cushion packaging, with vinyl (in original innersleeve) removed from cover and placed safely in poly sleeve to help prevent seam splitting during transit.

I can usually accommodate special shipping requests or special payment requirements, just ask.
