Some words on this issue: MUSICA ELETTONICA VIVA: “Friday” (Polydor – 583769) Original 1969 issue. First and only UK original pressing and one of the rarest releases in the UK as far as jazz and improvised music is concerned. “For the realization of "Friday", recorded in London in May 1969, MEV were Frederic Rzewski (piano, electronics, etc.), Alvin Curran (flugelhorn, etc.), Richard Teitelbaum (moog synthesizer), Franco Cataldi (trombone, etc.), Gunther Carius (saxophone, etc.). The main theme around this MEV piece is communication. Communication by means of music can be a very efficient means of reaching quick agreement among large numbers of people, because when you call something music, you have tacitly accepted a convention by which it is understood that the sounds that you make have no particular meaning, they are just sounds and therefore free to serve the general purpose of pure communication. Music can bring people together where language divides them. When this happens, the "concert" will come to resemble other liberated forms such as the party or the day-off, themselves secular remnants or earlier ceremonies. MEV music is not meant to impress people, but to liberate them.” (Soundohm). Great copy that most people would grade as NM, but conservatively I would say EX. No significant defects, record is clean as can be with only an occasional barely visible hairline here or there. The laminated sleeve is solid EX as well with no damages apart from 2 lamination scuffs on back. Beautiful copy
