The first album on Cramps' superlative "Nova musicha" experimental music series released in 1974, presenting pieces for piano, voice and radio noises spanning from 1947 to 1971, performed by an all-star cast including Walter Marchetti, Demetrio Stratos, Juan Hidalgo and Gianni-Emilio Simonetti.

condition (record/cover): VG+ (occasional surface noise and light stamp on labels) / VG (1/2" sticker residue on front and general wear)

Gatefold sleeve with original innersleeve. Cramps Records - the Italian label founded by Gianni Sassi in Milan - issued some of the most important avant-garde music of the 1970s, and their John Cage LP belongs to that tradition. An essential document for any serious survey of the composer's recorded legacy, circulating in an edition that has become consistently difficult to find.
