Keith Haring, Gregory Tate / NEW MUSIC DISTRIBUTION SERVICE 1986 1st Edition

Description: Original Keith Haring CoverNEW MUSIC DISTRIBUTION SERVICE 1986Forewords by Gregory Tate, cover art by Keith Haring(1986)Original New Music Distribution Service annual catalogue for 1986, its largest to date, dedicated to the memory of NMDS general manager Taylor Storer — featuring a brilliant neon orange cover by Keith Haring.Very good plus."a kind of musical version of the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" - Tate Originally founded in 1972 by jazz composers Carla Bley and Michael Mantler, the NMDS grew beyond jazz and contemporary classical to encompass avant-garde and experimental music in nearly all genres — offering a catalogue that was, in Tate's introductory words, "a trans-dimensional road map to the alternative music of the spheres," with a little of "everything from Tibetan bells to Brian Eno." Organized alphabetically by record company with an index of composers and musicians, each release is described with brief but surgical precision: "If you listened to Soft Machine, Henry Cow and Going in the '60s and '70s, and you find yourself listening to Henry Mancini, Martin Denny, and Nino Rota in the '80s, then this [Belgian avant-rock group Aksak Maboul] is the group for you." Alternatively, the Plastic People offer music "so profoundly tangible in its anguish and hope, we thought of Captain Beefheart being crucified." Terrific.Read more: Oteri, "Carla Bley: On Her Own," New Music USA. (New York): (Jazz Composer's Orchestra Association), (1986). 10.75'' x 8''. Original saddle-stapled neon wrappers by Haring.
