John Gavanti

John Gavanti · 1980 · Vinyl-LP · US · HY-101

Comes with printed inner sleeve with lyrics. No tracks are listed or named on this original release. Both sides of the disc are banded, but labels simply list 'JOHN GAVANTI', with the credit '(CRANE)' underneath. Inner sleeve features a full libretto but, again, no discrete track names. Sumner Crane's No Wave Grotesque Opera performed by members of Mars and DNA, inspired by Mozart's "Don Giovanni". Arlindo & Dantas Lind are the (semi-) anagrammed names of Arto Lindsay and his brother Duncan. Runouts are etched.
