Sonatas & Interludes For Prepared Piano/A Book Of Music For 2 Prepared Pianos

LP (Item 33360) Tomato, 1977 — Condition: Very Good+
2LP Gatefold
Of all of John Cage's work the stuff that still stands up extremely well for us is his prepared piano compositions. The sound that Cage forged on the instrument is still incredibly striking, and recordings of the technique are not always that easy to come by. This 2LP set on Tomato represents some of the finer prepared piano recordings of Cage's later years – and it offers a record apiece dedicated to the works in the title. Joshua Pierce plays piano on all four sides, and he's joined by Maro Ajemian on record 2.  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
