in the 70s holzman released cheap classical recordings with drug art on the covers to fund his aquisition of the doors

hurwitz took over and found steve reich, laurie anderson (audio tape on a violin bow wtf), phillip glass, gorecki, buenos vista social club, says he knows whether to release music in the first thirty seconds of hearing it. what a genius

Those psychedelic classical record covers were a topic of discussion among me and a friend today. My favorite nonesuch cover is the Trinidad Steel Band "Sound of the Sun" release in the explorer series. totally tripped out.

come again?

While we're on the subject, they also put out some great gamelan records. And you can find the classical LPs with psychedelic covers for a couple of quarters in many places. But they did put out that Wilco record.

Many great things in the Explorer Series. "Gamelan of the Love God" was a real eye-opener for me.

Billions upon billions of cherubs, Ned. You wouldn't believe it...
