Box set is COMPLETE, with two LP's in cover, small brown booklet, japanese bigger book and miniposter, of cours ein black, corrugated, wraparound, cardboard box. Here are few notes from Wikipedia:
Live in Japan is a 1982 double live album by English guitarist, composer and improvisor Fred Frith. It was recorded during an improvised solo performance tour of Japan in July 1981. The double album was a limited edition release of 1,000[3] by Recommended Records Japan[4] on two LP records in a black corrugated box containing posters, artwork and booklets in English and Japanese. It was also released as two single LPs, entitled Live in Japan, Vol. 1 and Live in Japan, Vol. 2.
On Live in Japan, subtitled "The Guitars on the Table Approach", Frith continued his pioneering guitar work he began on his landmark [5] 1974 album Guitar Solos. Comprising eight improvised pieces taken from four concerts in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka and Maebashi in 1981, Frith used an old 1961 solid body Burns guitar, built by British craftsman Jim Burns, a homemade six- and eight-string double-neck guitar created by a friend Charles Fletcher, and a battered violin. The guitars were laid flat on a table and "played" by plucking, scraping and beating the strings with a variety of found objects. Frith also wore a WW II pilot's throat microphone to amplify his periodic vocal utterances. The same microphone had been used by Frith during some of the Massacre concerts held earlier in 1981.
I have many more records for sale, just let me know if you are interested! I lead an online shop in Italy and I'm a professional records dealer.
CONDITIONS: ex/ex from strict Record Collector grading (cover graded first) Everything is great. Maybe the opening side of the box has a small cut, hard to say, please look by yourself. Both covers are clean and sharp but show a beginning of spine damage since thay are very thin. Records are great with no visible marks, though they have been played and are ex.
