Holm, Dallas - Signal [CD]

This CD is a direct copy of a rare original CD, seldom seen and when available, it fetches a high price. This recording was issued on CD as a double CD along with 'I Saw The Lord'. As CDs of this time (1990) were limited in capacity, two records never fit in their entirety, so then two songs from Signal were left out of the double CD. This CD-R then is a copy of the songs from the double, plus the two missing songs blended in from an analog source in excellent shape.

In order to satisfy copyright requirements, this CD copy (CD-R) is only made available to those that have owned a copy of this recording in any format. Don't own a record, tape or even an 8-track?, if available on our site, purchase the item alongside this CD. Don't see an original available? contact us and we'll do our best to satisfy this requirement.

We only use high quality, professional grade CD blanks for all our CDs. Unlike Costco specials, office supply and computer retail outlet deal packs, these CDs are manufactured to higher standards for trouble free playback and longevity in 99.9% of CD systems. CD comes in jewel case complete with full color inserts and labels.

NOTE: These items are done as orders are received, most orders will ship in three business days but depending on how busy we are, it may take up to a week for your order to be completed. Please note that we have no mail service on weekends. Orders placed on weekends are processed beginning Mondays.

Compact Discs (CD):

We are quite picky as to the quality of the second hand CDs we sell. Unless noted, our compact discs rate at NM (Near Mint) or better. This means that the CD is free of scratches and or scuffs and inserts show no rough handling. We also replace all cases and most trays for new ones, so the CD you receive will most often appear as new. Our NEW and sealed CDs need no explanation, though because we have purchased old stock through various sources, at times we note that a CD case may be cracked or the seal torn. We will not replace the cases but if possible, we will include a new case with it. A note for international buyers. CD's are universal, they play here in North America the same as they play in South America or Africa.

Cassettes (CAS):

Every second hand Cassette we sell is play tested from start to finish as often it's not possible to properly assess the condition of a tape visually. Unless a cassette is rare, any that play with issues are discarded. We replace all cases with new ones, so the Cassette you receive will most often appear as new. Our NEW and sealed Cassettes need no explanation, though because we have purchased old stock through various sources, at times we note that a case may be cracked or the seal torn. We will not replace the cases but if possible, we will include a new case with it.

Vinyl Records (LP):

We grade records in a simplified scale as Audiophile grading is somewhat confusing for the average joe.

Our record grading often looks like this 'NM/NM' The first NM is the cover or jacket, the second NM is the Vinyl itself.

Jacket Grading:

NEW = New, Sealed in shrinkwrap
M = Jacket looks as good as new
NM = Some wear
VG = More pronounced wear, ringwear or wear at edges
G = The poorest of the lot, it still hangs on but has definetly seen better days
PH = Punched Hole (Typical deleted inventory) Hole punched through the jacket, does not affect the vinyl.
* = Indicates lyric sheet enclosed (we cannot be certain of lyric sheets being included in sealed records)


Vinyl Grading:

NEW = New, Sealed in shrinkwrap
M = A record that is opened but shows no sign of being played or looks untouched
NM+ = Looks close to untouched or new but showing minor signs of use
NM = Some use but not abused, this would be a basic or standard grading. Proper cleaning will give great playback.
NM- = A little bit more use, some visible scuffs but nothing concerning, may play with some more noise.
VG = A poor record, it will play with noise, will have some scuffs and look used but will not skip due to deep scratches.
G = Anything that we would grade as G we would not sell


Songbooks (SBK):

We grade on a simple scale of 1 to 10, 10 being perfect. We sell nothing that's a 6.5 or lower.

10 = Perfect, like new
9.5 = Just coulnd't get ourselves to deem it perfect
9.0 = Most Songbooks you find at a New bookstore would probably rate a 9 after some folks handle them
8.5 = Slight wear
8.0 = A little bit more wear or handling
7.5 = More use, pages not as crisp, edge wear
7.0 = Additional wear, wrinkling, handling, staining
6.5 = The bottom of the pile. Edges frayed, some pages coming loose, looks somewhat rough.


CCM Magazine (CCM):

Refer to Songbook grading above


Videos (VID):

We play test all open VHS videos to make sure they play properly, any issues or wear will be noted. As we are in North America, our video cassettes are strictly in the NTSC Format and DVDs also in similar Region 1, North American format.
