Notes

Primarily spoken word (with some musical vignettes) live recording at an historic "summit" of counter culture and avant garde performers in New York City in 1979. Includes very early performances by Laurie Anderson

Prior to C4, Anderson recites her piece "It Song"; this is not listed on the label or sleeve.

Comments and Reviews

23skidoo 19th Aug 2014		Looking this up online, it appears GPS might have also released it in two parts at one point but I can't confirm this. The version I used to own was a single two-LP set.
