Description
Ron Geesin and Derek Bowskill - ‘The Musical Elephant’
(Musical Reading Ltd ME 2, 1974) Best known for his Pink Floyd collaborations ‘Atom Heart Mother’ and ‘The Body’, composer Ron Geesin has long been at the forefront of avant garde music utilising electronics, sound effects and tape manipulation. In 1974 he provided the score for The Musical Elephant which was a children’s story on record with accompanying music recorded at Ron’s Sussex home studio, Headrest.
This consists of a long-play seven inch single housed in an album size gatefold sleeve displaying the story in pictures as well as a jigsaw game.
The story is narrated by Derek Bowskill on one side with Ron Geesin's score illustrating the action, while the flipside features Geesin’s score on its own. It kicks off with a piano melody treated through processors to create a flanged effect leading into layers of electronic sounds and bird calls, etc. The finale is a wash of VCS3 synth white noise and electronic pulses interspersed with voices.
The record is in excellent+ condition although has a very slight warp but plays perfectly, the gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition but has a slight musty odour. The jigsaw game is missing apart from one piece and the frame .
