Description
Lovers of "Classical Music" would hate this! I'm not even sure if "music" describes it very accurately, but this LP is a highly entertaining curiosity. Sleeve notes and brave attempts at the clarinet by Brian Eno, who is easily identifiable top right in the charmingly amateurish out-of-focus front cover photo. Released 1973 on the prestigious Transatlantic label in the UK. Near mint copies sell for much more than this but some crackles between tracks and in the quiet passages such as the opening of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" actually add a certain indefinable something, and otherwise the vinyl plays through without problems. Sleeve is quite worn at corners and edges and, as the photos illustrate, the glossy laminate is lifting off along the spine. Check photos for more.
