WALTER CARLOS with BENJAMIN FOLKMAN Switched-On Bach (Mid to late 1970s UK issue of the 1968 10-track stereo LP on the graduated orange CBS label, by the man [pre-Wendy!] responsible for some of the haunting electronic music interpretations behind '2001' & 'A Clockwork Orange', picture sleeve. This first pressing has the original sleeve artwork with the seated Bach image. Walter Carlos himself hated this artwork, complaining that it was 'a clownish, trivializing image of a muggingBach', supposedly hearing some absurd sound from his earphones. The fact that these were plugged into the input, not the output, of a 914 Filter module, which in turn was also connected to nothing, assured that silence was all that would have greeted Johann Sebastian's ears. Subsequent pressings had a similar image but with a more serene looking Bach standing in front of the synthesizer. The sleeve shows just a little discolouration to the reverse, whilst the vinyl looks seldom played)
