Examples of some of the strange, bizarre or just unusual records in my collection. There are also Brian Eno rarity and odd CD's here.

The Chaps

Rawhide

Chock Full of puns and regional humour - and yes, that IS a cow pat featured as a picture disk!

Farewell Aunty Jack

Graham Bond

Farewell Aunty Jack

From the cult 1970's Australian TV series, famously recorded over by the ABC for home movies or a cookery program. Notable for the line "...and you had better listen too, or I'll come through yer speakers and rip yer bloody arms off!"

I am Sitting in a Room
Alvin Lucier

45 minutes of the gradual degradation of a recording played into a room and recorded and then cycled through the same process. Made even more strange by being a recording of the composer reading a paragraph about the process. Definitely one for the discerning.

I am currently also waiting for delivery of -Music on a Long Thin Wire-, which is the result of playing with a 24m piece of wire and a bunch of electromagnets and pickups.

Primal Image / Beauty
Alan Lamb
Recordings made of the wind blowing through old telegraph wires in the Australian outback. Another one for the discerning.
 
   

Sing it Again Rod

Rod Stewart

Or rather, don't. Never played (by me at least). Condition Poor-/Poor-. But for 50p who can resist such a gem of naff packaging and awful design. I feel surreally proud to have this in my collection!
