Willie Ruff & John Rodgers | The Harmony of the World: A Realization for the Ear of Johannes Kepler's Astronomical Data from Harmonices Mundi 1619 The Kepler Label LP 1571 US Pressing/First Pressing/Vanity label
Jacket: Strong EX except for minor storage wear and previous owner's name written inside jacket. Autographed by Willie Ruff 
Vinyl: EX; play-graded and cleaned
One of the strangest and most obscure of the "academic electronics" records of the past few decades. The jacket describes this as A Realization for the Ear of Johannes Kepler's Astronomical Data from Harmonices Mundi 1619. The work was composed for the Princeton University computer center on the IBM 360/91 computer. GREAT samples in here. This is autographed by one of the artists. Great copy. 
===============================
GRADING: I grade conservatively and try to provide some detail other than letter grades. Photos show the vinyl in raking light. Most titles are play-graded, some are cleaned on a Nitty Gritty cleaner. All are dusted on the turntable with a Hunt EDA brush. Check my feedback on my grading and condition-reporting accuracy. 
PACKING: I pack like I'm sending the LP to myself, and I have high standards. I use proper record mailers with additional padding. LPs ship in a DiscKeeper sleeve or better with outer poly jackets. Original inner sleeves, even if blank, are retained. Vinyl and inner sleeve ship outside of the jacket, inside the poly sleeve or in a separate poly sleeve if it looks safer to do it that way. I am a collector and care about my vinyl, and I actually, really, seriously do know what I'm doing. 
SHIPPING TO BUYERS IN THE UNITED STATES: Single LPs ship Media Mail at a flat $4.00 for all US addresses. Double LPs ship at $6.00. Box sets ship at actual cost based on weight.

SALES AND SHIPPING TO BUYERS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES: Please note that US postal service rates for international packages have increased dramatically. Please contact me for shipping rates prior to purchasing if you have questions. I do NOT sell or ship to the Russian Federation, even if you are using a freight forwarder. I will not ship to several other countries. See my exclusions list.
