Poetry Out Loud

Interested in these LPs from the 1970s, which seem to have resurfaced and found there way to fusetron, Volcanic Tongue, etc. A pair of American couples did several volumes worth of home-brewed spoken word/sound-poetry/DIY noise kinda stuff in the 1970s, and ultimately even got Bernard Heidsieck and Henri Chopin involved. Sounds kinda neat.

Anyone heard them?

I've heard a few, and some of them are cool but in general a mixed bag. I don't own any or have a very good memory, so I can't really cite which ones I thought were good.

I had roommates that were pretty obsessed about this series and they managed to track down a good portion of it. I only have a passing familiarity/recollection but I recall a good amount of trippy, delayed recitations. Worked well with my then copious pot consumption. I really remember liking the home-grown, loner vibe to a lot of it...
