'Instrumentals 1974 Volume 1' features sessions recorded at The Kitchen when Russell was 23, new in NYC and crashing at Allen Ginsburg's. 'Volume 2' consists of his 1977 - 78 modern classical recordings from The Kitchen, previously on a costly compilation and now on vinyl again since 1984. Russell worked with Dinosaur L and Loose Joints, but this set, along with 'Corn' and 'Another Thought', shows his wide - ranging talent. It's a fully remastered double vinyl set with printed inner sleeves and a 12 - page booklet with liner notes by Tim Lawrence, Ernie Brooks and Arthur Russell. Features include black vinyl pressing, remastered audio, a 12 - page booklet, and it's from the Audika label in 2017. Reviewed by dj winyl destination in 03/2017.
Using this Arthur Russell vinyl is easy. Just place it on your record player, gently drop the needle on the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or fingerprints on it. Store the vinyl upright in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. Don't stack too many records on top of it as this can also cause damage. The 12 - page booklet inside gives great insights, so take time to read through it and learn more about Arthur Russell's work. And remember, this is a remastered audio, so you'll get high - quality sound as long as you take good care of the vinyl.
