Description
RITUAL ALL 770 : The Songs LP (Riverboat [USA] RB-3) 1967.
Record is Excellent with light sleeve scuffs only; cover is VG+ with some wear to the edges and corners, including a few small tears on the top and bottom seams. Nice original copy of the debut LP by Alan Sondheim's Ritual All 770, released in 1967 on Riverboat (also home of John Fahey's The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death - anyone know what RB-2 was?). One long improvisation by Sondheim (electric guitar, violin, flute, suling [Indonesian flute], xylophone, alto sax, classical guitar, clarinet, shenhai [Indian oboe], bass recorder, mandolin, so-na [Chinese oboe], Hawaiian guitar, koto, sopranino recorder, chimta [Indian percussion, cor anglais, sitar, bansari [Indian flute]) along with Barry Sugarman (tabla, dholak [Indian hand drums] and naquerro [Moroccan kettledrums]), Chris Matthewson (bass), Robert Poholek (trumpet, cornet), Ruth Ann Hutchinson (vocal), June Fellows (vocal) and J.Z. (jazz drums). An all-time classic of the American avant underground, this somehow managed to convince ESP-Disk' to put out two records (under Sondheim's name) and later merited inclusion on the infamous Nurse With Wound "influences" list (as "All 770"). To my knowledge, this has never been reissued in any form. Rare.
