Label: Pogus Productions - P210502

1967〜1973年まで出版された伝説的前衛雑誌[Source]に付属していた激レア10インチ音源がPogusより3CDで復刻。約40年前のリリースという事で大部分のマスターテープが紛失&劣化という状況にあったらしく、どうやらオリジナルのレコードから音源を抽出したらしいリマスター版。チュードアのサポートを受けたLarry Austinの傑作ライブエレクトロニクス[Accidents]、Robert Ashleyのマイクを口に突っ込んだ有名パフォーマンス[The Wolfman]、徐々にガビガビの電子ボイスへと移行するルシエの[I Am Sitting In A Room]等、ホント貴重過ぎるアヴァン・エレクトロニクスばかりです。

Pogus is extremely proud to reissue the recordings included in the seminal new music journal, Source: Music of the Avant Garde, Vols. 1-6, Issues 1-11, Source Records 1-6, 1967-1973. The original six ten-inch LP Source Records contained some of the most important experimental music of the nineteen-sixties to mid nineteen-seventies ­ and they have now been reissued as a 3 CD set. Source ended publication in 1973, having published, since 1967, contemporary musical materials, scores, articles, interviews, photo essays and recordings over seven years, with up to 2000 subscribers to the semiannual journal: the subscribers avidly anticipated receiving two new and critically acclaimed issues each year during that period.

Most of the original tape masters for the records, after over forty years, have vanished or have seriously deteriorated; hence, we have carefully transferred, noise-reduced, and crackle-removed all the actual LP record tracks to the digital medium, then mastered to the compact disc format for this reissue: the result is an authentic recreation of the original LP, characteristic sound.
