Various

For the very first time, original recordings by key artists, writers, poets and theorists are now gathered together on a single volume. The various recordings, made between 1929 and 1963, include poetry, interviews, lectures and manifestos. Most are in the English language, and some in French. Some, such as those by Desnos (1938) and Read (1937), have not been heard since they were first recorded onto acetate discs. The cover reproduces a painting by Yves Tanguy, This Morning (1951)
15 tracks, running for 74 minutes and featuring extensive sleevenotes, the disc is a must for all students of 20th Century art and literature and the avant garde, as well as left-field musical ideas and endeavour.
