Description
Words In Order by Gerald Murnane. This is a 180g audiophile vinyl of Murnane himself performing readings, including a gatefold sleeve reproducing the original pages of the palindrome.
It is a limited, signed edition of 300 copies with included voucher for free MP3/FLAC download. Each copy is individually numbered and signed by Murnane (there was never an unlimited release). This is the only signed / limited edition ever produced of Murnane's work, to date.
This was available a few years ago from the only store selling them, Readings Bookstore in Melbourne. It sold out in pre-order. The copy you will receive is brand new and unopened (the photographs are of a second copy from my personal collection).
From the publisher:
If Bob Dylan can win the Nobel Prize for Literature then Gerald Murnane can release a record. The author best known for not being known has, briefly, stopped tending bar to showcase his talents as a vocalist, performing renditions of his own work as well as the work of Thomas Hardy, Hungarian poet Dezs? Kosztolányi, DEVO and Killdozer, with accompaniment in a variety of contemporary musical styles.
The centrepiece of the album is a completely new work - a 1,600-word palindrome written by Murnane over the course of six months in 2006. Murnane recites the palindrome over a constantly shifting sixteen-minute minimalist musical score composed entirely from the letters of his own name, translated into musical notes by simple substitution code.
Will pack well, and ship internationally.
