V/A-BLORP ESETTE, 4xCD, 1999 (RECORDED: 1972-1983), USA






This sprawling and vastly extended reissue of this L.A. Free Music Society state of the union (originally issued as two separate LP's) contains a dizzying wealth of essential material for LAFMS obsessives, not least some 20+ minutes of otherwise unavailable Smegma material, along with nearly an LP's worth of work by Smegma's Ju Suk Reet Meate (whose LP from the period was just reissued on Destijl). Beyond that, I'll refrain from parsing this massive document point for point, it's immense significance really speaking for itself.
