Notes

There seems to be an issue with the original release date of this album. According to the liner notes and copyright information of the 2013 reissue by FiveDayWeekend (FDW7711-LP), the LP first came out in 1967 (Columbia CS 9501) instead of 1968 as was previously stated on Discogs.com. While the original stereo pressing of the album does not state an issue or copyright date, the 2013 reissue very clearly states "© 1967, 2013 Sony Music Entertainment / Originally released 1967". Recordings for the LP took place in New York City in April and May, 1967.
The LP release date 1967 is independently corroborated by McLuhan's biographer Philip Marchand, in his book "Marshall McLuhan: The Medium and the Message", Toronto: Random House 1989, p. 193. Jeffrey T. Schnapp and Adam Michaels equally document mid-1967 as the LP's release date in their book "The Electric Information Age Book: McLuhan/Agel/Fiore and the Experimental Paperback", New York: Princeton Architectural Press 2012, p. 57.

referencing The Medium Is The Massage With Marshall McLuhan (LP, Album, Deluxe Edition, Limited Edition, Reissue, Stereo) FDW7711-LP
Comes with white paper inner sleeve. Very strange record, and this pressing has a different back cover than the original. Okay pressing, the usual little white flakes stuck with static to the vinyl due to the white paper inner. The little booklet is pretty cool, but poorly edited; quite a bit of misspellings, poorly set type, etc, for a 16 page booklet. Dead Kennedy's artist Winston Smith contributed illustration for the booklet. Definitely an ideal record to swipe some samples from LOL.

This record is one of the best things you can own if you want to explore new ways of approaching art and sound / film / multimedia / design / collage / sampling / remixes / mixtapes / cut & paste / the list keeps going and will continue to change on this project.
In my opinion.
