Takehisa Kosugi "Catch Wave" (CBS/Sony SOCM-88, 1975) - Original pressing
Rarely-seen original 1975 pressing of this LP, arguably one of the best in Kosugi's discography.
Takehisa Kosugi is without doubt one of the most important and influential figures of the Japanese avant-garde still performing into the 21st Century. Over the years he has worked with everyone from John Cage to Sonic Youth as well as being an active member of the Fluxus group and starting his own performance units Group Ongaku and the Taj Mahal Travellers. Catch-Wave, originally released in 1975, features on side A "an excerpt from a meta-media solo improvisation" utilizing heavily-processed violin, voice, radio and oscillators (the latter modified via wind and light) to create a massive drone. Side B is "a triple performance by a solo vocalist" where a vocal phrase is taken and electronically modified until it loses any meaning other than as part of the wave form.
While the LP was reissued as a limited edition bootleg some years ago, this copy is the real thing. Copies of the original rarely surface - here's your chance to get your hands on an authentic prime document from the 1970s avant-garde.
Note that the record is in good condition with some surface noise, but this shouldn't distract from the music. Cover in good condition.
Shipped in secure, sturdy record mailer. Airmail shipping and handling approx $US15 - 20 - ask for other options.
Paypal accepted, within Japan bank transfer or COD.
