A prominent historian of the US counterculture shares exclusive access, via Rock and the Beat Generation, to his latest Beat album liners with Poetry for the Beat Generation to commence
So great to read the notes about the liner notes and see more and more people finding out about this incredible collection. I bought it in 1990 but I was living in a van without a record player so really, the vinyl sat waiting for decades before picked it (at a pal's dad's house in SLC, UT, USA) who'd diligently stored a crate of records for me for yeaaaars – was a like time capsule to myself. Now, in savoured rotation. Congrats to Pat Thomas and everyone else involved in this important project.
Really enjoyed Pat's now released liner notes, especially the extended section toward the end about Jack listening to and telling stories. That was truly wonderful.
Man the decks, Dave, and put the needle to the groove! Neat memory...
