PULP MUSIC (ANNE BEAN & PAUL BURWELL) Low Flying Aircraft #289 Super RARE Sleeve is as I received it
Original UK Private 7" EP released on -- Records in 1979. No labels on record - just black and hand numbered in white.
Should be noted this record has been played give me a break it is totally cool used it many times but this is the original 1979 release so it is not mint
As far as I know, all copies have an 'extra' hole burned through the label area and are individually hand numbered with tipp-ex.
This enigmatic 7”, released in 1979, is one of the most startling DIY records from this period: a very “intense mix of manic precise percussions together with vocal yelps, grunts and screams leavened with distortion and feedback”.
The so-called Pulp or Pulp Music (in fact the label name, not the band name) was a London based duo composed of the performance artist Anne Bean and the percussionist and instrument-maker Paul Burwell. Anne Bean has presented solo and collaborative projects incorporating visual art, sound, and performance since the beginning of the 70’s. Active on the improvised music scene through the 70’s, notably in a collaboration with David Toop and poet Bob Cobbing, Paul Burwell was also one of the founding members of the London Musicians Collective.
This duo met several years before the release of this 7” and performed in various places until the beginning of the 80’s. One of their last appearances took place in October 82 at the Final Academy which was intended to be a celebration of William Burroughs. During three days, this event featured readings by William Burroughs, Brion Gysin and John Giorno, together with bands like Cabaret Voltaire, Psychic TV, 23 Skidoo … and a remarkable performance from Anne Bean and Paul Burwell as described by Performance Magazine:
“(...) but Burwell and Bean put an incredible show of pyrotechnics preaching, pounding of drums and proclaiming of ‘White mans gotta god complex’ by the Last Poets. A sample of the late Steve Cripps ‘legacy’ of explosives had the battery of the exotic snappers, video and super eighters, minor celebs and their retinues, scampering for cover, as Anne bean raged, stamping her feet in the billowing smoke.”
Soon after this event, Anne Bean and Paul Burwell extended their duo with sculptor Richard Wilson, to form the influential and much noticed performance group, BOW GAMELAN ENSEMBLE, which lasted until the beginning of the 90’s.
These records were purchased for play not as collectibles they were used on various radio shows. The vinyl was well taken care of and is in great shape, with limited minor scuffs and imperfections (unless otherwise noted).
The covers do sometimes show signs of wear though, they have been sitting on shelf's or in boxes for the last 20 to 30 years. I am not going to try and grade this stuff because I just don't know how so there you have it if you want this stuff because it's very cool (which it is) here is your chance.
International shipping cost does no include insurance or tracking. The cost for that is 2 to 3 times more expensive and would need to be shipped so it can be opened by customs. So with that said I can not really guaranty delivery. But to this point, after shipping over 100 packages I have had only one problem.
