1978 LP on Turnabout with several mainly avant-garde compositions or adaptations for voice and guitar performed by Rosalind Rees and David Starobin. With insert.
condition (record/cover): NM / VG+ (light ring wear) - Insert included.
An unusual compilation framing John Cage's vocal works within a broader survey of 20th-century American writing for voice and guitar. Turnabout was among the more adventurous of the budget classical labels, willing to give contemporary music releases that larger companies would not risk. A fine survey object of a moment when the guitar was being reimagined as a vehicle for the experimental.
