Some words on this issue: PIANO COSMOS: “Gendai Ni Hon Piano Kyokusen 1960 ~ 1969” (Crown – SWS-1-2) (2 LP Set: Near Mint/ Gatefold Jacket with attached diamond: Near Mint/ All Inserts being 3 triple gatefold inserts; one single insert & 3 square card inserts: Mint/ OBI: Mint). Bloody rare and obscure November 1969 release. First copy to cross my path in over a decade with all inserts and OBI complete. Comes complete with the gimmick “diamond” attached gatefold (on back and front!!!) jacket plus 3 Triple Gatefold fully illustrated Inserts plus one insert and 3 detailed card inserts!!!! Eye-bleeding set that combines unissued recordings by the greatest avant-garde and experimental music minds to be operative in Japan at that time. Composers included here are the following: Satoh Keijiro “Calligraphy”; Takemitsu Toru “Corona”; Shinohara Makoto “Tendence”; Irino Yoshiro “Music For 2 Pianos”; Miyake Haruna “Piano Sonata N.3”; Matsushita Shinichi “Spectre Pour Piano N.2”; Ishii Maki “Klavierstuck Fur Pianist und Schlagzeug”; Fukushima Kazuo “Kaze No Wa”; Takahashi Yuji “Metathesis”; Adachi Motohiko “Monodia For Pianoforte”; Kora Toshio “Rezitativ Und Arie Fur Klavier” and Noda Teruyuki “Torois Developpements”. The overall tone of the recordings on this record is stripped-to-the-bare- minimum kind of approach that suggests psychic isolation of deep space rather than flashy sci-fi that much of the avant-garde is burdened with. Small clusters of notes are configured into themes and variations that lift space on a cloud of softly clashing microtones and teased out harmonics. The composer and the executioner determine the character of each piece and this makes the results emerge as iridescent ribbons of sound clusters. The primitivism and the quick costume changes of the present material is totally affective and encompasses intimate soliloquies and scenes on a cinematic scale.
New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.
Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
