I've recently heard a test pressing of the LP. We had to send it back for a recut unfortunately, but it means that things are in progress and with luck it will actually be out this year.
@@spp1680 I wish - I think I will be dead before it's released! I have heard the vinyl masters, and that was several months ago. Maybe contact www.community-library.net to ask them
@@JanSax3 hope they follow through. this music really deserves to be in print. I suppose it's crazy to hope they'll also do a CD version? surface noise was a real issue with this music.
To add to the video description above: Jan Steele is the composer of this piece, with no input from John Cage. This album was the fifth release on Brian Eno's Obscure Records.
I did see John Cage in solo concert back in the am 70's at ASU in Tempe Arizona..I came expecting him to do maybe I'll some of his prepared piano pieces, but I was UN prepared for what happened when he sat down at the piano... He scooted the bench, and then scooted it again, and again... and some more... It became clear that it was all miked, and this went on for over five minutes!.. that's what I remember most clearly from this, except for the fact that the sound quality was really bad through the system, quite possibly on purpose... The whole thing was quite dada-esque, I thought...

wonderful and unforgettable song
One of the best things to happen to ‘high-brow’ music was the introduction of singing without vibrato, and without ‘opera lungs’.
I bought this album in the early 80s when I was at art college in Brighton - takes me straight back to wonderful times and wonderful music.
This song is one of the most powerful works in the entire world.
Thank you Jorge
incredible piece.
Thank you Oded
Thanks folks. NB This is going to reissued in a remastered version on the Community Library label sometime in the (hopefully near).
Hello Jan. That's great ! Has it been reissued yet?

I really like in the first piece when the guitars come in, the chords and the bending of the single note... Very influential, really...
All Day is a James Joyce poem.

truly truly a masterpiece
Grazie Fabio.
The music brings to mind 1960s Outer Limits' Dominic Frontiere's soundtrack music.
