RUTH WHITE

"Flowers of Evil"

Limelight      LS-86066

1969

ONLY COPY OF THIS LP ON EBAY AS OF 4-29-2016

Very early electronica featuring Moog Synthesizer and other what she referred to as electroacoustic instruments.  White had been composing electronic scores in an educational vein for years but this LP was one of her first to address strictly the experimental audience / market.  A pioneer and influence on everyone from Paul Beaver, Walter / Wendy Carlos and George Harrison.  See below.

This LP is still in its shrink wrap and is in perfect shape (amazing considering the silver metallic-like printing on the front cover which lends itself to wearing.  I picked this up at Gibson's Discount City in San Marcos, Texas in 1971 on a trip back from school.  Beautiful shape and condition.  Stored vertically in a smoke free environment 45 years. 


Here's what Wikipedia says about White and this LP:  " American composer known for her electronic music compositions. While most of her career was dedicated to educational recordings,[2] she is best known for being an electronic music pioneer, owing to her early explorations of sound using the Moog synthesizer. The back cover of her 1971 release "Short Circuits" stated that “Ruth White is considered among today’s most gifted arbiters of what is termed ‘the new music’".   Her early recordings “Seven Trumps From The Tarot Card And Pinions” (1968), “Flowers of Evil” (1969), and “Short Circuits” (1970) all featured surprising uses of the Moog synthesizer as well as other electronic musical equipment.   In 1969 she recorded “Flowers of Evil”, a record based on French poet Charles Baudelaire’s volume of poetry “Les Fleurs du Mal”, reciting Baudelaire’s words over electronic music. The poems are accented eerily by White’s use of “electroaccoustic” music – more specifically the moog synthesizer. Once again White’s music was published on Limelight Records."
