Near fine. <br/><br/>Advertisement for the Minimoog Synthesizer a landmark instrument in 20th century pop music. Modular synthesizers had been used extensively in the studio but were cumbersome and expensive. With the release of the minimoog in 1970 synthesizers could be taken on tour and were more affordable to the general consumer rather than just the music industry professional.

Once bound so slightly trimmed with a rough left edge. Light wear and soiling. Small owner's stamp in upper right corner of the cover. <br /><br />William Sprague was the Governor of Rhode Island when the Civil War began and although not a Republican he pledged President Lincoln military support from his state. Following the shelling of Ft. Sumter Rhode Island raised two regiments of infantry under the command of Colonel Ambrose Burnside. Sprague firmly believed that the war would be over in a matter of days once combat began so he accompanied the state's regiments to the Battle of Bull Run where he served as an aide to Burnside and had his horse shot out from under himself while doing so. <br /><br />After the union defeat Sprague realized that the war would continue for some time so he returned to the Governor's Office. Sprague remained loyal to Lincoln and attended the Loyal War Governor's Conference at Altoona Pennsylvania in 1862 which despite some contentious issues reaffirmed support for Lincoln's management of the war and provided support for Lincoln to issue a preliminary emancipation proclamation decreeing that he would order the emancipation of all slaves in any state that did not cease its rebellion against the United States before 1 January 1863. Shortly after the conference Sprague resigned his position to run for the Senate in which he would serve for the next twelve years. <br /><br />At the time of listing this version of the music is not listed in OCLC. <br /><br /> Lee & Walker books
