Notes
"In November 1967 Terry Riley performed an All Night Concert in Philadelphia under the moniker Poppy Nogood. A form of happening where Terry improvised on soprano saxophone and tape-delay feed-back system, otherwise known as the "time-lag accumulator". The "All Night Flight" concert held in the Philadelphia art school began at 10pm and lasted until dawn. Attendees were encouraged to bring along sleeping bags and make a full evening of it. One of those that attended operated a disco in Philadelphia and commissioned Terry to compose a "theme" for the night-club. The result is the plundering and appropriation of an obscure R&B tune "You're Nogood" [sic] ['You're No Good' by Harvey Averne] in a mix of moog, tape-loops, and feed-back system. First Time Available." - from original obi info wrap.

- Disc 2.1 - Duration is shown as 1:02:25 minutes, The Notes for Disc 2 indicate: "was recorded live at 10 p.m. November 17, 1967 and originally released as an open reel tape as part of SMS No. 3: June 1968 published by The Letter Edged in Black Press". Closest I can find is Terry Riley - Poppy Nogoods All Night Flight (The First Ascent).
Notes for Terry Riley - Poppy Nogoods All Night Flight (The First Ascent) indicate that both sides A&B are identical, each with a duration of 19:30 even if we total both, this only gives 39:00 minutes?
Is this a full, previously unreleased version? a different mix? or recorded at the wrong speed?...Anyone have a clue? - "You're Nogood" is an epic piece of music made from audio tape (and at least a vinyl Motown record, hardware: such as a mixer, basic effects and an analog synthesizer) in the pre-digital age. The piece hints to a future of plunderphonics, mashups, loop-culture, etcetera. However, Terry's approach is different to John Oswald, tape-beatles and Negativland's non-repetative approach. Terry is a minimalist at heart and for that reason this (lost gem of a) recording leans more towards proto-sampling/hip hop/techno. If you haven't heard it yet you should, because it will give you more perspective of the composer, known more for his notated music. The piece begins with about 2+ minutes of Moog noise and then up pops a chopped, looped, tape-feedback matrix, hand-mixed, multi-tracked and edited version of a Motown song for the duration of the piece.
