| AGP144 is the fourth
(and last for the time being) 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. AGP144 is a transcription of the LP from volume 1, issue 4, released in May 1986. The highlights of this issue for me are a length concert recording of the Japanese avant-pop group After Dinner (fronted by the singer Haco, who is still active), and another electroacoustic piece by Steve Moore. 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 AGP144 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 - "After Dinner" by After Dinner
