| AGP143 is the third in
a series of transcriptions of the long out-of-print ReR Quarterly,
produced by Recommended Records.
Released at irregular intervals of no less than three months, the
series continued through three volumes of LP releases, before switching
to the CD medium for a fourth volume starting in 1994, and then ending
in 1997. Each volume except the third consisted of four issues
containing a magazine and either an LP or CD of music. A pair of CDs
with selected tracks from the first two volumes were released in 1991,
but those are now also long out of print. AGP143 is a transcription of the LP from volume 1, issue 3, released in January 1986. The highlights of this issue for me are an electroacoustic piece (track 02), an impressive piece for solo percussion (track 04), and a series of avant-pop pieces composed at the 1983 Montepulciano Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte festival (begun in 1976 by Hans Werner Henze), as part of an improvisational workshop involving Chris Cutler and five other musicians (track 07). It is an excellent pressing in excellent condition, with negligible surface noise or tracking distortion. The installment includes a PDF file with scans of the pages from the magazine describing the music on the LP. The scans encompass the four issues of volume 1. To download AGP143 files, right-click on each of the following links and select SAVE LINK AS. The tracks without links are available on CD in a sampler of some of the best tracks from volume 1, which can be purchased from ReR Megacorp. The out-of-print tracks from volume 1 are available here with the kind permission of ReR Megacorp, so if you like what you hear in AGP141-144, be sure to check out the sampler CD as well. 01 - Card to Bernard, by The Big
