Hello, all! Can anyone ID today's mystery-LP-under-the-cassettes? It's actually a generic cover -- meaning, it's been used for many LPs released by the label.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:01pm
listener james from westwood:

How do, Tony and all!
Avatar ♥ 12:01pm
Tony Coulter:

So, in other words, I wouldn't expect anyone to recognize the particular release, just the series.

Yvang:

The partly hidden visual of musical instruments reminds me of an early R. Crumb drawing style. So I would say it's for late 60's early 70's music...
Avatar ♥ 12:08pm
Tony Coulter:

Well, you are right about the decade -- it's from 1970. But it's from the U.K. And again, it's a generic cover, so it may have been used on as many as 100 LPs released by this label.
Avatar ♥ 12:11pm
Tony Coulter:

Here's a big clue: The label is a British sound library label. Since no one could guess the artist, the trick is to ID the label.
Avatar ♥ 12:12pm

The winner will get an all-expenses-paid trip back to 1970.

OK, I guess it's time to reveal the identity of today's mystery LP jacket: It's a generic cover used by the Standard Music Library ‎sound library label. Here's the particular LP I photographed: www.discogs.com...

Now that I see the whole drawing, it's more Archimboldo than Crumb.

Yes! Definitely Archimboldo-esque.

This is what Vance Annex says about himself on his youtube channel:
"In the mid 1980's, Vance Annex was a solo vehicle for me to develop musical ideas with home-brew sequencers and synthesizer automation. I was hungry to explore that distinctive cybernetic sound that was happening in Europe in those days. (Kraftwerk, Ultravox, etc)
I was a musician as well as electronics technician. So, I ended up building kits and even designing my own sequencers and drum machines using computer memory chips. I also bought used Arp and Korg synthesizers modifying them. I was an "independent" artist then and evolved into part of the 80's cassette culture.

Not long after the release of this project, ( late 1980's) the music "Pop" culture started to bleed into the air waves stealing electronic sound from the original innovators and independent musicians. Record companies with large studios and deep pockets selling the "top 40" ultimately discouraged myself and many others (I suspect) from pursuing the art any further."

On a tangent, a buddy of mine directed my attention to last month's priciest Discogs sales. I noted that one of the items was the Arzachel album, Hillage and Stewart pre-Khan.
Avatar ♥ 1:01pm

Hiya, Dean! This is sacrilegious, I know, but I prefer Khan ... not to mention Egg.

If, Bwana (just on) = frequent FMU guest Al Margolis (founder of the Sound of Pig and Pogus labels).

Dean:

I agree. Space Shanty is one of those perfect albums. I enjoy Arzachel/Uriel because I can hear them finding their "voices" below the crust of bluesy psych.

Hey there, Honeybear!

I see that means "music" (thanks, google translate).
Avatar ♥ 1:56pm
Tony Coulter:

In case you're wondering: yes, the channels are pretty unbalanced on this tape -- don't think it's my deck.
Avatar 2:03pm
Honeybear:

'sokay, Tony! I feel like I'm eavesdropping on someone's apartment (or office) in late 90s St Petersburg (with the TV on) - so I expect the channels to be a bit imbalanced
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:08pm
ɨkɛ:

Yeah I went to St. P in the 90s to study and this takes me back a bit. Great art museums and beautiful statues in the subway, but not very friendly! And there wasn't much good food other than a place called the "Hare Krishna Cafe", though I don't think that was its real name.
Avatar ♥ 2:10pm
Tony Coulter:

I was there in the early-ish 2000s. The food was good in Georgian restaurants. Came back with a suitcase full of cheap bootleg CDs.

PS: I was only in St. Petersburg for around a week or so.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:15pm
ɨkɛ:

Oh I like Georgian. Sadly I think in the mid-90s, Georgian was not the "in" thing yet, or at least we students didn't hear about it. Probably the same for Uzbek food, which later became popular there (and in Coney Island). Also I found a small shop filled with cheap bootleg cassettes where they didn't even try to copy the original cover art, just plain white cover art with the title and artist. No CDs yet then, that I saw.
Avatar 2:15pm
Honeybear:

@ɨkɛ - yeah that was the beauty of the "Motherland" in the 90s. Was in Moscow for a very short bit in this time - if I had better sense at the time, I would have splurged on B+W film and photographed everything
Avatar 2:24pm
Honeybear:

a very good find, thisss tape
Avatar ♥ 2:26pm
Tony Coulter:

A listener in Moscow tracked it down for me (thanks, Artem!)
Avatar ♥ 2:27pm
Tony Coulter:

He's on the radio there himself, and runs a small record shop.
Avatar 2:29pm
Honeybear:

Are you at liberty to name the shop? Am hoping to get a chance to visit the Motherland again someday when civilization resumes
Avatar ♥ 2:29pm
Tony Coulter:

Sure -- let me check for you.
