Light scratches but overall a great record. Shipped the next business day! We own a small family book store and sell our extra books and media that have been on our shelfs for too long. We sell them for a quarter of the price at our store so we can move our inventory! Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: In an age much threatened by those forces that separate man from his fellow man, music becomes more than ever significant. For music is something universal; and when it springs from what lies deepest in man, all men can find in it vestiges of the true, the good and the beautiful. The selections chosen for this recording are a case in point, for these melodies are the expression of an experience that lies beyond East and West. In their present form, they are representative of what is best in the chant tradition of Western Europe; and yet, with few exceptions, they have their taproots in the liturgies of Eastern Christendom.
