Description
J.D. ROBB : Electronic Music From Razor Blades to Moog LP (Folkways [USA] FS 3438) 1970.
STILL SEALED. No cut out marks. Both right hand corners are bent, the top one very slightly, the bottom one somewhat worse -- see photos.
Sealed copy of the first LP by American electronic/avant garde composer/scholar John Donald Robb, released in 1970 on Asch/Folkways. As the title suggests, this is more or less an electronic music history lesson, with various examples of techniques/sounds/instruments, using Robb's own compositions.
"Asch Records" was the original (circa 1945) name of the label that later became Folkways (named for founder Moses Asch); for some reason the original label name was revived for a few miscellaneous releases circa 1969/1970, including this one. This LP originally had Asch as the label name and the "AHS" catalog number on the labels, insert, and cover, with no mention of Folkways. Later when they re-printed the cover slicks (not sure when, probably not long after), they changed the credited label name to Folkways and changed the catalog prefix on the slick. All copies we've seen (not many) have had the Asch label, in either an Asch cover or a Folkways cover. We assume this copy has Asch labels, though it's quite possible there was a later press with Folkways labels and if so, this could be one.
See our other listings for a copy of Robb's Rhythmania LP.
