John Somebody
LP (Item 551116) Nonesuch, 1986 — Condition: Sealed

A totally great, totally cool little record – one in which experimental musician Scott Johnson uses his guitar to trigger a set of spoken phrases! The approach is somewhere between early Steve Reich tape experiments and Frippertronics – as Johnson makes these great loops of sound that blend together his own fuzzy lines and this excellent repetition of a phrase that begins "Remember that guy – John somebody?" – with the latter half then looping out again and again. A real lost treasure from the same downtown scene that gave us Glenn Branca and Christian Marclay. © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Sealed
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Momente – Martina Arroyo/Nonesuch, 1965. Near Mint-
One of Stockhausen's more extended compositions, and a haunting piece composed for soprano, choir groups, and a very strange mix of instruments – including lots of weird percussion, and some very spooky electric organ.

Wild BullNonesuch, 1968. Very Good
A landmark early recording from Morton Subotnick – and a piece of music that really pushed analogue electronics forward from the previous academic generation! Subtonick's style here is much more freewheeling – with almost an improvisational feel at times – sounds and noises that ... LP, Vinyl record album

Amazing stuff! This is one of the now out-of-print series by Arch that compiled all of Conlon Nancarrow's fantastic music for player piano.
