ULTRA VIOLET
"Ultra Violet"
Capitol ST-11244
1973
ONLY COPY OF THIS LP ON EBAY AS OF 5-24-2016.
Ultra Violet (real name Isabelle Collin Dufresne) was one of Andy Warhol's stable of actors at The Factory in New York City.
In 1963, Slavador Dalí introduced Dufresne to Andy Warhol, and soon she moved into the orbit of his unorthodox studio, "The Factory". In 1964 she selected the stage name "Ultra Violet" at Warhol's suggestion, because it was her preferred fashion — her hair color at the time was often violet or lilac. She became one of many "superstars" in Warhol's Factory, and played multiple roles in over a dozen films between 1965 and 1974. In 1967 Ultra Violet played a part (with, among others, Taylor Mead) in the surrealistic play Desire Caught by the Tail by Pablo Picasso when it was set for the first time in France at a festival in Saint-Tropez. t various points in her career she would meet numerous celebrities, including John Graham, John Chamberlain, Edward Ruscha, Rudolf Nureyev, Miloš Forman, Howard Hughes, Richard Nixon, Aristotle Onassis, Maria Callas, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Marc Chagall, Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Yoko Ono. In later reminiscences, she would name Ruscha, Nureyev, and Forman among her past lovers.
This 1973 LP release was recorded after she had moved on from primary film roles into more multi-media environments. MUSICIANS INCLUDE TODD RUNDGREN, MARK "MOOGY" KLINGMAN (Jimi Hendrix, Randy California, Lou Reed), Ralph Schuckett (Clear Light), The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Jo Mama), The Blackberries, The Crusaders and Pete Sears (Jefferson Starship, Copperhead).
This is a CLASSIC recording from the early 1970s that encompasses everything from NYC Underground Culture, "The Factory" NYC scene, NYC rock, 1960s / early1970s counterculture, and USA hip culture. ALSO, THIS IS QUITE A RARE ITEM FOR TODD RUNDGREN COLLECTORS AND UTOPIA COLLECTORS.
Additionally, ANDY WARHOL DID THE PHOTOGRAPHY.
Stored vertically in a smoke free environment for 41 years since I picked it up at a church bazaar in Oak Hills, Texas in 1975.
