**  condition: M/VG (record is pristine, sleeve has light general wear) **   The essential first La Monte Young album which remains one of the very few official releases of his music and an artwork itself. Needles to write about the importance of this record released in a limited hand-numbered edition of 2800 copies (this is nr. 2555) housed in a very peculiar sleeve, a black gloss print on matt black, designed by Marian Zazeela. Young: voice, sine wave drone, bowed gong; Zazeela: voice, bowed gong.
