Notes

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.

Lo Recordings present 30 guitar pieces by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Remixed, remodelled & reshaped for your listening pleasure.

The original guitar pieces by Thurston Moore were recorded by Wharton Tiers in New York, Spring 1997 and transformed by the following:

Has anybody come across a white label copy of this before? I’ve got one. Interesting that it isn’t listed on here and I cannot find any evidence of it existing/having been sold anywhere online. Mine is just the 5 records in plain white poly lined paper sleeves not sure if mine is complete guessing it would have been issued with at least some info/press release.
