MORE INFO, FROM THE LABEL: http://www.time-lagrecords.com/past.html SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE ~ FOR OCTAVIO PAZ ~ LP (TIME-LAG 014) during the winter of 02/03, ben chasny sat down for a few late night sessions with wine in glass and recorded these instrumentals using just guitar and voice, and on a few songs some bells. for octavio paz is the first six organs record to draw from the reverberations of a nylon string guitar, resulting in some of the saddest notes yet recorded on any six organs release. stripped of the usual sufi influenced lyrics, this record proves that the spiritual flows freer through the non-delineated form of instrumental sound. side b features a near side long steel string epic that conjures visions of dessert orgies, appalachian witch hunts and the loading of a shotgun to be aimed at the six and twelve string bandits on the horizon… 180 gram vinyl. packaged in a white on white screenprinted/letterpressed fold-out sleeve, with letterpressed insert. numbered edition of 500. and this, from http://www.midheaven.com/artists/six.organs.of.admittance.html: Since the release of Six Organs of Admittance's self-titled debut in 1998, Ben Chasny has played pure guitar within individual songs, but For Octavio Paz is his first full record to explore the guitar inside and out, solo and over-dubbed, steel and nylon string (in fact, For Octavio Paz is the first Six Organs album to feature the reverberations of a nylon string guitar). What really sets Chasny apart from the other modern Fahey worshipers is that Chasny's pantheon is willing to accept a wider array of other guitarists into the lexicon-- Peter Walker or Richard Youngs, for example-- not to mention the fact that he can stand the sound of a Stratocaster. This is the definitive guitar record from Six Organs of Admittance. Originally released in a vinyl-only limited edition by Time-Lag at the end of 2003, For Octavio Paz sold out instantaneously. It was decided that the material is just too strong to belong to so few. An assortment of raga-blues for the temple and the front porch --Dusted

9/12/07, new pictures added to illustrate the mentioned dent, an exalted ding; and while I'm at it, if you can, notice the very slight round cover bend from the record being in it, and two corners have very slight creases. The record is as I first got it, and has been treated better than the rest of my cherished collection.
