Description

LEO KOTTKE - 12 STRING BLUES - OBLIVION.

THIS PRIVATE PRESSING LP WAS RECORDED AT THE SCHOLAR COFFEEHOUSE IN MINNEAPOLIS IN 1968 AND FIRST RELEASED IN 1969 IN A PRESSING RUN OF 1,000. A SECOND PRESSING WAS SUPPOSDELY DONE IN 1970. COVER ON THIS COPY HAS A CATALOG NUMBER ON B/C OF obl-SIA, WHICH WOULD INDICATE A SECOND PRESSING. CATALOG NUMBER ON THE LABEL READS S-1, WHICH WOULD INDICATE A FIRST PRESSING... EITHER WAY, THIS IS A SCARCE LP WITH THE COVER IN VG++ CONDITION WITH LIGHT RUBBING AND SLIGHT FOXING B/C (THE B/C IS MUCH WHITER THAN THE PHOTO SHOWS). THE VINYL IS ALSO A NICE VG++ WITH SOME VERY SOFT SCUFFS. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED BUT VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THE LABELS ARE VG++ AS WELL, WITH LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS.

MATRIX SIDE 1 READS: ADEN-1A 16715. MATRIX SIDE 2 READS: ADEN -1B 16715. A VERY NICE COPY OF A LONG OUT OF PRINT LP.

Many of the sounds that sometimes characterize performances in the place though are absent from the record-random hummings from the piano when it feels like it, the sound of one or two people who eschewed the door for the plate glass window, and in Kottke's case, bizarre speech noises from the stage between songs. (These may be released later in Paoli, Penn.) Despite these "artifacts", coffeehouses and auditoriums are the only places where a guitar player can expect a quiet audience. Still, as in its now distant past for a younger Robert Zimmerman [a.k.a Bob Dylan -- BH] or John Koerner, the Scholar audience is appreciative and quiet.
