Globe Unity Orchestra- compositions (1979- japo lp 60027) flac and lame

Heres an old favourite, brought to us by glmlr… a pristine rip of one of the GUO’S Great albums.
the version of lacy’s worms dedicated to ezra pound is extraordinarily vivid and definitive.
Comparatively speaking this is one of the best recorded ,most structured and less turbulent efforts.
That may make it uncharacteristic, but for me no less essential.
I owned this until it was lost to me in 1997, being a favourite I’d missed this a lot .. ..so thanks glmlr for stepping in.
