George Harrison 1st Press UK LP Electronic sound NM ’69 ZAPPLE 02 With Inner
Original 1st Press UK LP released in 1969 on Zapple Records. Cat: ZAPPLE 02. Matrix number: ZAPPLE 02 A1/ ZAPPLE 02 B1. Comes with printed inner bag which is in Near MInt condition.Every so often Timewarp is lucky enough to come across a special record collection. Over the following weeks I will be listing records from one such collection. Collected mostly during the 1960’s and 70’s this set of records have been well preserved and cared for some dating back to over 50 years old!! Our regular customers will be aware that if we do grade a record at Near Mint expect it to have only been played a handful of times at most and to sound superb. We hope you enjoy the records we will be offering as much as we have in presenting them to you.
Hard as it is to believe, George Harrison, guitar picker, was also an electronic music pioneer, as these two lengthy, abstract tone poems for early-vintage Moog synthesizer reveal. A naif in the electronic sphere, George had a lot of help putting this music together, particularly from ace California electronic composer Bernie Krause. Dramatically structured, unearthly in its pitchless writhing, flamboyantly manipulating pink and white noise from the opening electronic gun battle onward, "No Time or Space" is still an entertaining listening experience, and some of its passages would turn up later in the "I Remember Jeep" jam from Harrison's All Things Must Pass album. The shorter "Mersey Wall," recorded in Harrison's Esher bungalow with his own Moog, is a low-key, drifting affair, not quite as virtuosic in its handling of abstract sound, nor nearly as theatrical. Though scoffed at when they were released, these pieces can hold their own and then some with many of those of other, more seriously regarded electronic composers.
Tracks: Under the Mersey wall/ No time or space.
There are no signs of spindle marks on labels. Record has a few very light scuff marks that cause a few minor crackles and plays in Near Mint condition. Full Gloss cover has very minor scuffing on bottom right corner and is in Near Mint condition.
