Is Arthur Russell's Another Thought still in print anywhere?

"My Tiger My Timing" is worth whatever you pay for this.

Well thank ya, I do appreciate it.

someone on here asked for these lyrics once:

Losing My Taste For The Nightlife

'well i'm driving to town
but im on the same road that took me back home
put me on the road
now im heading to nothing 'cause its no more fun
going down through the pines, what im doing i did before
and thats all i see
driving, driving sixteen miles
im looking for something i dont want to do
because my coming to town it took me from you
losing my taste for the nightlife
losing my taste for the nightlife

now i feel like an island
a man in a whorehouse
and im back again
i go back to the highway, i go back to the farmhouse
and the hills of grain
and i wonder at all
where i would be
if i cant go and find you there
well i wondered so long
where to find you and how
i go standing in where i am right now
losing my taste for the nightlife
losing my taste for the nightlife

try it once if you need to
come back and then you can
take it out on me
its the same it could lead you
but all that is what two can do
and still be free
you've been gone such a long time
now i know its for real
and how sad or how good
and how i feel
losing my taste for the nightlife
losing my taste for the nightlife'

you better be doing a cover version and dont just want them so ye know what they are.....*

'kiss me again' is VERY hard to license - i have tried to no avail (in fact, i'm still trying). the version on disco (not disco) is the wrong version (ie, not the best). there is a red vinyl bootleg of it out at the moment where they also use the a-side. it's ALL about the b-side mix. i think this might be my favourite record of all time.

remixing arthur russell = dud!

Who owns Sire? Warner? How did Strut get the rights?

i had always loved 'kiss me again' then one time while at body & soul i heard danny krivit play arthur's own mix with david byrne's mad freakout at the end and i lost it completely. when it finished, mr. krivit left a minute or two of silnece which was filled with the applause of the crowd applauding the wonder of the record. when i got back to scotland i had that version on repeat on my turntable for about three weeks. i've done an edit of it simply because clubbers here don't have the patience to dance to a 13 minute record.

Last I heard it was going to be out this year from Philip Glass's Orange Mountain label. No news yet, though...

i thought audika were releasing it in expanded form soon?

"Amplified: New Music Meets Rock, 1981-1986 is the third release in a series of CDs compiled from The Kitchen's archive that documents historic concert recordings at The Kitchen from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s.

While the first two releases, New Music, New York 1979 and Steve Reich and Musicians, Live 1977 focused on major figures of new and experimental music from The Kitchen's first decade, Amplified moves into the early 1980s, representing a vocabulary that emerged from the avant-garde, minimalist, and No New York scenes in the 1960s and 1970s in New York City.

Highlights from the CD include the layered guitars of Rhys Chatham's works; classical cello played through electronic effects pedals by Arthur Russell; a Christian Marclay piece created with multiple turntables "prepared" with his "To and Fro-nograph"; one of the earliest Sonic Youth concert recordings; two tracks by Swans; and a rarely performed large orchestral piece by Elliott Sharp.

Even now, more than twenty years after these shows took place, these recordings capture an explosive energy that still feels vibrant and vital.

Track Listing:

1. Sonic Youth "World Looks Red" 3:03
2. Sonic Youth "Shaking Hell" 4:46
3. Swans "Clay Man" 4:09
4. Swans "Weakling" 5:02
5. Bill's Friends "RTZ" 3:08
6. Arthur Russell "Hiding Your Present from You 4:19
7. Arthur Russell "All-Boy All-Girl 8:16
8. Christian Marclay "His Master's Voice (opening)" 5:14
9. Rhys Chatham "Guitar Trio (1977)" 8:13
10. Elliot Sharp "Crowds and Power" 10:32"

I still can't remember how or why I bought it, but 'Another Thought' was the first Arthur Russell I heard, bought around 1999/2000 when it was still in print, and despite the hundreds of amazing things I've heard since, it remains one of the singular musical discoveries of my life.
