Description: n 1969 the National Geographic Society began issuing a series of sound recordings. The recordings were published in 12", 33 1/3 RPM Stereo vinyl (and in tape cassettes). The series was discontinued in 1979, though it seemed more were planned. There were a total of 25 albums released, under two theme banner categories: the "Sounds of the World" encompassed 9 releases, while the other 16 titles were issued under the "American Adventure Series". Society members could subscribe seasonally (e.g., American Adventure released 4 titles per year) - much like the loyal membership would subscribe to the Special Publications book series, at 4 titles per year. The books, and the Records were promoted with advance leaflets and brochures showing pictures and offering details of the content particulars. I have not precisely timed these, but all are less than 30 minutes per side. Where a title does have an inner LP sleeve, the sleeves do have text indicating track title, info., and lyrics.

No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
