Description

"You got the first one" someone from ESP-Disk said to me .  This record was given to me by ESP president Bernard Stollman as a token of friendship and as payment for some PR writing I did for him.   "These are going to be collectors items someday," he said to me as he handed me a stack of early records in the late 1960s, the heyday of the great underground countercultural music shrine ESP-Disk.     So read all about it-- the famous Electric Newspaper. 

The East Village Other


  1. This album was intended to raise funds for The East Village Other, an underground newspaper. This is the first North American CD release of the "electric newspaper," an archetypal Sixties counterculture 'happening' from August 6, 1966, this is also the first edition anywhere since the original vinyl to include the lengthy closing track, "Interview with Hairy." A legendary all-star cast of performers got together to make an anti-war collage of words and sounds that defies mere track listings—one of the elements is "Silence" by Andy Warhol, which, contrary to at least one wrong-headed European reissue, is not actually a separate track (so don't write in complaining about its supposed absence): For some period of time, while the radio played and/or other performers did their things, Andy stood in the studio silently. Hey, it was the '60s. It's a concept, man.

  • It's a wild ride with Ginsberg and Orlovsky chanting, the first appearance of the Velvet Underground, Tuli Kupferberg's folk crooning, the marriage of Lucy Baines Johnson and Hiroshima A Bomb on the same day, August 6. The original Fugs,   Ed Sanders and Ken Weaver do the infamous Interview with Hairy, missing from the original CD. I'm including a print- out of net info about the record. August 6, 1966 the date the record was made in New York City.
  •    There's only one of these, so good luck and may the best collector win it !!!
