Long unavailable only documentation of the tape work by conceptual artist John Perreault on Slowscan's collectable artist's records series, limited to 300 copies.

Long sold-out on the highly collectable Slowscan label of artist’s records (Richard Maxfield, Allan Kaprow, Henning Christiansen, LAFMS, Henri Chopin, Takehisa Kosugi, Gordon Mumma, Joe Jones, etc.) the only record by American poet and critic John Perreault. “Ultra limited LP release, comes with 6 pages booklet, featuring two tape works pieces by conceptual artist John Perreault (b. 1937). The first work, A Recorded Message, features a tape loop with what sounds like a mechanized recording of someone saying “this is a recorded message” mixed over a soundscape of ambient sounds of automobiles and city streets. The second piece, Traffic, is a fairly straightforward field recording of traffic sounds made on West 10th Street between Bleeker and Hudson in New York City from 2 o’clock to 3 o’clock in the afternoon on September 25, 1969.”
