ANAIS NIN UNDER A GLASS BELL/HOUSE OF INCEST 1949 RECORDINGS 2 LP SET

$

200

THIS AUCTION IS FOR TWO SEPARATE RELEASES OFFERED AS A SET. THESE TWO LPs ARE VERY RARE AND TO FIND EITHER ONE INDIVIDUALLY IS DIFFICULT, TO FIND BOTH TOGETHER IS JUST THAT MUCH MORE SO.

ANAIS NIN ~ FOLIO I ~ READING FROM HER OWN BOOK "UNDER A GLASS BELL" ~ CONTEMPORARY CLASSICS SOUND PORTRAITS. IMPRINTED CLOTH BOUND COVER IS VG++. RED VINYL IS VISUALLY GRADED VG BUT PLAYS BIT BETTER THAN THAT. LABELS ARE VG++. INSERT SHEET IS GRADED "G" AS IT HAS A SMALL TEAR BRHC, AGE STAINING AND LIGHT CREASING. SIDE ONE HAS SHORT STORIES FROM "UNDER A GLASS BELL" (1941) INCLUDING "RAGTIME" (1944).SIDE TWO FEATURES THE COMPLETE SHORT STORY "HEDJA" (1945)  

ANAIS NIN ~ FOLIO II ~ READING FROM HER OWN PROSE-POEM ~ "HOUSE OF INCEST (UNABRIDGED)" CONTEMPORARY CLASSICS SOUND PORTRAITS. IMPRINTED CLOTH BOUND COVER IS VG++ WITH SOME AGE SPOTS LOWER BOTTOM SEAM. RED VINYL IS VISUALLY GRADED VG+ BUT PLAYS A BIT BETTER THAN THAT. LABELS ARE NEAR MINT.  SIDE 1 AND II ARE "HOUSE OF INCEST". INSERT (WHICH IS THE SAME TEXT AS WITH FOLIO I) IS VG+ WITH SOME AGE STAINING.

BOTH OF THESE RECORDINGS WERE MADE AT ANAIS NIN'S ATELIER IN SAN FRANCISCO IN JUNE, 1949 BY LOUIS AND BEBE BARON ON ONE OF THE FIRST COMMERCIAL REEL TO REEL MAGNETIC TAPE RECORDERS - A WEDDING GIFT TO THEM IN 1947. THEY RELEASED SPOKEN AUTHOR RECORDINGS BY HENRY MILLER, TENNESSEE WILLIAMS AND ALDOUS HUXLEY ON THEIR "SOUND PORTRAITS" IMPRINT IN THAT NEW FORMAT, THE LONG PLAYING RECORD. BEAUTIFULLY PACKAGED AND RECORDED THESE CULTURAL GEMS WERE A COMMERCIAL FLOP DUE TO MIS-MARKETING AND POOR DISTRIBUTION. ANY OF THE TITLES ON CONTEMPORARY CLASSICS/SOUND PORTRAITS ARE VERY RARE. THERE IS A GREAT INTERVIEW WITH THE BARRONS IN RE/SEARCH'S "INCREDIBLY STRANGE MUSIC VOL.II" ON THE HISTORY OF THE LABEL. THERE IS ALSO AN ENLIGHTENING INTERVIEW WITH BEBE BARRON REGARDING ANAIS NIN ON YOUTUBE.

THE BARRONS WENT ON TO RENOWN AS INNOVATORS AND PIONEERS IN THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC FIELD STARTING WITH THEIR GROUNDBREAKING WORK ON "FORBIDDEN PLANET".
