Arthur Russell white-label

Photobucket

Seldom-heard b-side to the white-label-only 12” of Russell’s single greatest piece of music, “In the Light of the Miracle”. While the a-side was reissued on Soul Jazz’s comp of Russell material, this mysterious house-infused flipside remains tragically unreleased. Features the whole Singing Tractors crew (Elodie Lauten, Mustafa Ahmed, and Peter Zummo) as well as Allen Ginsberg (!) and a rare appearance by Julius Eastman.

BONUS: Yet another unreleased version of "In the Light of the Miracle", a fragile solo voice/cello/delay live recording complete with an entirely different opening stanza:

Went to Jared's (aka dj MAXX BASS) new record store the other day. WOW! amazing selection of vinyl (strictly) and audio equipment. It's not technically open yet but you should probably stroll on by and dip your paw into the sweet stuff now cuz ooh weee it's nice.
what did we get? weeelllll just some azari and iii remixes, keri chandler, levon vincent and snuff crew's snuff trax. I should've known something was up when rafael handed me september's bill money before we walked into the store.
