Description
LIFE IS A KILLER 1982 Giorno Poetry Systems GPS-027 Burroughs Spoken Word
An intriguing piece of early 1980s counter-culture audio, Life Is A Killer brings together spoken word performances from notable underground figures including John Giorno and William S. Burroughs, along with Amiri Baraka, Jim Carroll, Jayne Cortez, and others. Issued on Giorno Poetry Systems (GPS) in 1982 as part of The Dial-A-Poem Poets series, this LP captures a range of poetic voices and experimental readings set against minimal musical backdrops and sound explorations, reflecting the innovative downtown New York spoken word and avant-arts scene of the era. 
This copy is a well-cared-for original 1982 U.S. Giorno Poetry Systems pressing with clean surfaces and a bright label presentation.
