William Burroughs S. - Nothing Here Now But The Recordings [LP] Vinyl Record

In 1980, Genesis P-Orridge and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson (then of Throbbing Gristle renown) travelled to New York City to meet up at the fortified apartment, known as The Bunker, of famed beat writer and cultural pioneer William S. Burroughs and his executor James Grauerholz to starting the daunting task to compile the experimental sounds works of Burroughs, which, up until that point, had never been heard.During those visits, Burroughs would play back his tape recorder experiments featuring his spoken word "cut-ups", collaged field recordings from his travels and his flirtations with EVP recording techniques, pioneered by Latvian intellectual Konstantins Raudive. Throughout the next year, P-Orridge, Christopherson and Grauerholz would spent countless hours compiling various edits, each collection showcasing Burroughs sensitive ear and keen experimental prowess for audio anomaly within technical limitations.In 1981, Burroughs had relocated to Lawrence, KS in which to escape the violence of New York City. During this time, P-Orridge and Christopherson put the finishing touches on the record that would be known as "Nothing Here Now but the Recordings". The album would become the final release for Industrial Records, now reissued by Dais Records on vinyl for the first time, remastered from the original tapes.
