"Pursuing an interest in exhaustive cataloguing, Rutherford Chang has collected
over 650 first-pressings of the Beatles’ White Album. He considers the
serialized first-press, an edition running in excess of 3 million, to be
the ultimate collector’s item, and aims to amass as many copies as
possible. Over the course of his Session, Chang will create an archive,
listening library, and anti-store to house and grow his collection of
the Beatles’ iconic record.
"Chang will create a record store that stocks only White Albums. But
rather than selling the albums, he will buy more from anyone willing to
part with an original pressing in any condition.
Visitors will be invited to browse the collection and listen to the
records. The artist will digitally record every album played during the
Session period, as well as document each gatefold cover and disc label.
At the end of the Session, Chang will press a new double-LP made of the
accumulated recordings and images layered upon each other"

Hi, mister Reynolds! How are you doing? Is everything ok? My name is Rodrigo Carneiro, i’m a brazilian journalist and i’m writing an article about music for the one big local newspaper. I’d like to know if you could answer some questions about it. I could send it by e-mail. Thank you very much.

ReplyDeleteyes rodrigo the email as you wrote it out is correct
ReplyDeletei haven't published your comment for the same reason i don't have the email address spelled out at the top of the blog -- i'm told there are web-bots who go around gathering email addresses, they can recognise the way they are constructed, and then you will end up getting sent tons of spam
