SOUND CEREMONY - VINYL GUITAR STAR [VINYL]

Popis - GUITAR STAR [VINYL]:
Reissue of an early '70s UK private press album. For fans of Jonathan Richman and Lou Reed. Liner notes by Jeremy Cargill (Ugly Things/Got Kinda Lost). Limited one time pressing of 500. Between 1973 and 1979, multi-instrumentalist Ron Warren Ganderton (a.k.a. Sound Ceremony) along with a rotating cast of accompanists (including future members of the Pretenders, late period progressive rockers Quasar, and Subway Sect) created a hard to define catalogue of sounds praised by private-press hunters, esoteric appreciators and "out of time" searchers. Ganderton's output holds echoes of monotone mavens like proto-punks Jonathan Richman and Lou Reed, similarities to cult-raved acts such as Armand Schaubroeck and Kenneth Higney, and carries a loose influence of the "talking blues" tradition while maintaining a uniqueness and singularity laced with '60s fuzz, primitive and skittering rhythms, and alternately confrontational and heart-on-sleeve topicality, thusly eking out its own sonic territory with a population of one. To put it succinctly, Ron Warren Ganderton is one of rock's individuals.
