Rare lp of awesome field recordings of strange sounds emitted by various underwater creatures, recorded by the Naval Research Laboratory using special underwater microphones! "Actual sounds of fish species recorded in isolated tanks and at varying depths - from 5 feet in sheltered areas to 2000 fathoms 200 miles out - in tropical waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans... In many parts of the seas of the world, noises made by fishes and some of the other inhabitants of the waters are so great and varied as to be almost deafening..." Tracks include "Normal Water Noises", "Snapping Shrimp", "Spot Fish", "Drum Fish", "600 Fathoms Down Unknown Sounds", etc. Includes insert booklet. Highly recommended lp of fascinating raw sounds from the venerable Folkways Science Series. This sound effects record/unintentional DJ turntablism/musique concrete tool should be of interest to fans of Pierre Schaeffer, Luc Ferrari, Jim Fassett, Tony Schwartz, the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, DJ Shadow, The X-Ecutioners, Mix Master Mike, Q-Bert, Otomo Yoshihide, Christian Marclay, Martin Tetreault, Erik M, Negativland, Kid Koala, etc. Check my other items for Volume 2 of this series!

Combine multiple items to save on shipping; I can hold paid records to be combined with a future purchase if desired. Note: I can also offer international buyers the slow but super-cheap M-Bag bulk airmail rate for orders of 8 or more lps; to most destinations this costs $40.00 flat rate for up to 16 lps, a huge per-record savings over standard rates for smaller parcels!

If you are paying by Paypal and have won multiple items, please use a single Paypal payment. I will send an invoice email to all winners shortly after my auctions close, and another email after payment has been received to confirm item shipment. Packing - I pack professionally and with the utmost care drawn from years of experience trading vinyl internationally. I use new record mailers from Cameron Packaging (which I have determined are the best and most protective) reinforced with cardboard inserts and bubble wrap padding. All records are shipped with poly plastic sleeves. All packages are completely sealed with strong packing tape covering all openings. Unless requested, no paper invoice is included in the package, both to save trees and to avoid customs difficulties. If you'd like your package done any differently, just let me know. Other Info - Feel free to email me if you have any questions (need more info, want more pictures, etc.); you can use the 'ask seller a question' link above. Records are visually graded unless otherwise noted; my condition rating scale is M (sealed) / NM (unplayed) / EX (barely used) / VG (some evident wear from prior use but no major flaws) / G (major flaws). All included album inserts are pictured in the listing; what you see is what you get, if I know an insert is missing I will mention it in the description.
