"Due to unprecedented demand" - the cover's own words - for the first volume, John Cage and David Tudor returned to the tapes of the Feigen/Palmer Gallery marathon to issue a second selection. Remarkable enough that Variations IV had found a label willing to release it; that it generated enough demand for a sequel remains one of the more improbable chapters in the history of avant-garde documentation. The two parts - simply titled "Part One" and "Part Two" - make no attempt to place themselves within the six-hour duration of the performance. It hardly matters.

The same ungoverned collision of radio signal, tape, and ambient event, pressing a different cross-section of the same irreproducible evening.
