Jezebel Spirits
Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts [EGLP 48 UK 1981 24-Bit FLAC]
Okay, hands up who doesn't have a copy of My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. This is one of those albums I have on both CD and vinyl after I went through a phase of buying Eno on CD. My vinyl copy is the original UK version on EG Records, including the sensitively removed track Qu'ran missing from subsequent pressings. It was the use of loops and cut-ups which had me transfixed, whilst the technique was not that new, my personal fixation with the technique led me to buy a lot of records with loops and early samples - my school music teacher ran a lunch time class on electronics in music and allowed us to create 'music' using loops on a reel to reel. I actually bought this copy some years later at a record fare and am grateful to the original owner who clearly preserved his vinyl better than I did at the time.

ReplyDeleteEG pressings are generally excellent. Delighted to see this (and you) here.

Somebody brought from Buenos Aires a copy of The Jezebel Spirit EP containing also Regiment and the non-album song Very Very Hungry., another highly recommended song. I was unaware of songs left out of the main album. Are there any others?
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back.
Thank you, Blogmeister !
ReplyDeleteCool thanks. This is indeed a good one. I've just realized I have the original US LP version so Qu'ran is still on it. Don't think I ever FLACed it though, so thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteNevermind, I found lost track!
DeletePlease re-up!
ReplyDeleteNew rip imminent on the new Needle Time ;-)
