 ALVARIUS B. LP

Abduction 

w/insert

Very rare debut experimental album from Alvarius B. = Alan Bishop = Sun City Girls back from 1994.

Some info on the release:  Rare original issue, released in Usa sometime in the early 90's on their own Abduction label (Sun City Girls, Master Musicians Of Bukkake, etc.).

Alan Bishop (aka Alvarius B.) is a founding member of Seattle's avant-garde and genre-defying Sun City Girls, whose career spans 27 years and over 50 releases. His work in Sun City Girls, with Richard Bishop and Charles Gocher, alone stands as a testament to his fearless exploration of the outer reaches of improvisation and composition. From their telepathic free jazz/post rock psychedelic trio roots, to sprawling radio broadcasts incorporating noise, Italian pop, and sound collage, to gorgeous outer-national Arabic and Asian-inspired folk music, the group maintained their singular and uncompromising path from inception. Their musical restlessness continues to resonate in the wake of the passing of Charles Gocher and their subsequent disbanding.  

As founder of the Sublime Frequencies record label, Bishop has released over 100 records, introducing previously ignored musical genres from Syria, Burma, Indonesia, Pakistan, Vietnam, Niger, Thailand, India, Morocco, Egypt, Western Sahara, Cambodia, Algeria, and Turkey.  

And as Alvarius B., Bishop has penned hundreds of his own original folk songs in a primitive "out" style that is unlike anything that anyone else is doing now. This body of work is informed by an obsessive love of psychedelic rock, free jazz, exotic music from beyond borders, Italian film soundtracks, and an extraordinary sense of humor. Since 2011, Bishop has been living in Cairo, composing & recording new Alvarius B. material while simultaneously establishing his own Egyptian-based band, The Invisible Hands.

Condition: Vinyl lies in excellent condition, looks clean, plays nicely, insert is only good, as somebody was "playing" with his lighter on the edges, while cover lies in very good++ condition, could be excellent if it didn't have a couple of "claw marks" on the front (see picture).
