Notes

"LO RECORDINGS PRESENTS 30 GUITAR PIECES BY THURSTON MOORE OF SONIC YOUTH. REMIXED, REMODELLED & RESHAPED FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE." (Quotation from the backside of the box.)

This is a compilation of audio tracks and artworks from the Root exhibition.

"In May 1997 Lo Recordings received a DAT tape containing 30 different one-minute guitar pieces by Thurston Moore. Each piece was copied onto individual tapes and packaged in custom designed vaccum cleaner bags. One hundred bags were sent out to a selection of visual artists and musicans, inviting them to create a brand new work utilising the original piece as a starting point." (Quotation from the linernotes of the poster.)

Vinyl version of LCD011 contains 38 of the musical contributions, and comes in a box with label artwork by Cedric Christie, Joe Ewart, Martin Fletcher, Savage Pencil & Gavin Tork, and also includes a poster featuring a selection of images from the Root exhibition. Contributors to the 'Root' exhibition included Yoko Ono, David Bowie, Angela Bulloch, Russell Mills, Sarah Lucas and Damien Hirst.

The first 3 track-entries on the label of side DD are wrong, the right ones are printed on the backside of the box and in the tracklisting of this submission.
