V.A. / The East Village Other (LP盤)
NYのアンダーグラウンド・ペーパー「The East Village Other」を立ち上げるべく1966年8月6日という広島への原爆投下から21年という日にRLAスタジオで録音されたイースト・ヴィレッジ・アンダーグラウンド・シーン・レポートであり、アンディ・ウォーホルのファクトリー周辺やビートニクス達の特異性が素晴らしくドキュメント/コラージュされた貴重な記録!!! アンディ・ウォーホルを始め、ヴェルヴェット・アンダーグラウンド、ジェラルド・マランガ&イングリッド・スーパースター、そしてマントラズ・チャントでアレン・ギンズバーグ&ピーター・オーロフスキー、ニヒリスティック集団Fugs(ファグス)からは、マンソン本も出してるトゥリ・カッファーバーグと当時の先鋭思想人が集結した音源! This album was intended to raise funds for The East Village Other, an underground newspaper. This is the first North American CD release of the "electric newspaper," an archetypal Sixties counterculture 'happening' from August 6, 1966, this is also the first edition anywhere since the original vinyl to include the lengthy closing track, "Interview with Hairy." A legendary all-star cast of performers got together to make an anti-war collage of words and sounds that defies mere track listings—one of the elements is "Silence" by Andy Warhol, which, contrary to at least one wrong-headed European reissue, is not actually a separate track (so don't write in complaining about its supposed absence): For some period of time, while the radio played and/or other performers did their things, Andy stood in the studio silently. Hey, it was the '60s. It's a concept, man. (ESP-DISK') Side One 1. Plastic Clock Radio / Luci's Wedding 2. Steve Weber / If I Had A Half A Mind 3. Gerard Malanga and Ingrid Superstar / Gossip 4.
