A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...

HENRY COW Unrest (1978 French issue of the 1974 8-track vinyl LP, one of the most avant-garde offerings on Virgin at the time, mixing Zappa, Bartok & chamber music with a very British sense of the Progressive, & to magnificent effect, front laminated gatefold picture sleeve. The sleeve shows minimal wear and the vinyl has little sign of play LTM1009)

Tracklisting: 1. Bitter Storm Over Ulm 2. Half Asleep 3. Half Awake 4. Ruins 5. Solemn Music 6. Linguaphonie 7. Upon Entering The Hotel Adlon 8. Arcades 9. Deluge
HENRY COW Western Culture (1978 UK 7-track vinyl LP, the band's last album on their private Broadcast label, picture sleeve. The sleeve is still in its opened shrinkwrap and the vinyl has minimal sign of play - a superb copy BC1)

Tracklisting: History & Prospects Industry The Decay Of Cities On The Raft Day By Day Falling Away Gretels Tale Look Back 1/2 The Sky
HENRY COW / SLAPP HAPPY In Praise Of Learning (1978 French issue of the 1975 6-track vinyl LP, this is one of the great albums of jazz/rock experimentation. Fred Frith's guitar is challenging and thrilling & Dagmar Krause's vocals complement themusic beautifully.As the quote on the album states; "Art is not a mirror, it is a hammer". Get this and open your ears. At a time when music was either bland and poppy or overburdened with stadium sized pretention this is uncompromising andtough minded. The addition of Slapp Happy to the mix adds a dimension that made this album stand out from the other 'sock' albums and proved a precursor for what was to follow with Desperate Straights, front laminated picture sleeve. The sleeve is still in its opened shrinkwrap and the vinyl has little sign of play LTM1010)
