Tracklist
A:
[untitled]
Engineer: Steve McAllister
Composed by / Design: Christian Marclay
"Do not store in a protective package".
Recorded on a 4-track at Plugg, New-York City, March 1985.
The album has one track, beginning with the sounds of records being played, growing louder
until samples and drums fade in. Towards the end of the track, the vinyl clicks and pops
from the introduction interrupt the samples.
(

)
The album was sold without a cover or any sort of protective packaging,
the damage intentionally becoming a part of the composition.
One of Marclay’s most notorious works of art.
Only a small edition was made.
(Even the white 1999 re-edition owadays costs 0...)
