Friends Of Shellac Plus 11 Ovens Demo

Artists

Album Info

Release Date: 2008

Label: Not On Label

This is a bootleg release featuring the rare 'Futurist' LP plus four tracks credited as '11 Ovens Demo'.

The first track on each side is from the Futurist LP, credited here as "Friends Only".
B2 is erroneously credited as "Dong And Pony Show" on the release.

Comes in a clear protective bag in a folded coversheet. The front shows a reprint of the original cover of Futurist.

At least four vinyl color variants exist: black (first edition of 385 copies; all colored vinyl copies are later pressings), purple, green, and yellow.

There are also two cover variations - first pressing is on rough cardboard stock with the coversheet printed on the inside and outside, later pressings are on normal paper with no printings on the inner side.

'The Futurist' was originally recorded for La La La Human Steps, Montreal (dance troupe). Both sides are instrumental, not counting a shortwave radio collage interlude on side B.

Recorded in Chicago & Angers, 1995

Distributed to the "friends" listed on the front cover, each copy had the recipient's name circled in marker (or written in the box at the bottom) for personalization (and sale deterrence). Just under 800 people are listed on the cover.
