Description

This is the Rare and Original two-track Vinyl release (1988 - fright 042) of Spacemen 3's live famous live album "Dreamweapon: An Evening of Contemporary Sitar Music.

The record and sleeve are in excellent condition, near mint, having been very well looked after and always stored in an additional transparent sleeve. 

Front and back of the outer sleeve have been signed by Sonic Boom with the hadnwritten instructions on the back cover stating "NB - Side 2 plays inside out. I prefer it at 45rpm :)". 

Indeed, the B side does play from inside to the outer edge. And the inner circle labels on the vinyl are a cool inverted black and white karma design. 

I'm gutted to be selling it but I need to offload a few records as I'm saving with my partner for a deposit on a house. 

Not this is not one of the later re-issues in 1993 and 2004. 

Dreamweapon: An Evening of Contemporary Sitar Music is a live album by Spacemen 3.

Overview

The title track is from a live performance at Watermans Arts Centre in Brentford, London, on August 19, 1988. Peter Kember, Jason Pierce, Will Carruthers, and Steve Evans played. The liner notes for this track credit Pat Fish, a.k.a. theJazz Butcher, with "joint rolling."[1]

The other track on the original vinyl release "Ecstasy in Slow Motion" is a studio performance from 1987 which only features Pete Kember. It does not feature on the original CD. "Spacemen Jam", which appears on subsequent reissues, is Peter Kember and an unknown second guitarist, possibly Jason Pierce. Jason is credited in the sleeve notes on theSympathy for the Record Industry reissue. The track on the vinyl release plays backwards- from the centre outwards.

The title track is a 45-minute piece inspired by drone music, with a text from its 1960s originator La Monte Young in the liner notes.[2]

Dreamweapon is the creation of Angus MacLise the original drummer for the Velvet Underground and collaborator with experimental luminaries such as musician La Monte Young, filmmaker Jack Smith ("Flaming Creatures"), and poet Ira Cohen.
