about

This is obviously a riff on the classic Beatles "white album". With this release in 1984 (probably in February, as the tracks were recorded in December 1983 and January 1984), it's possible that this is the first "white album" subsequent to the original. Maybe not--who knows for sure? For this release, I spray-painted the cassette boxes white and stamped "Walls Of Genius" with a rubber stamp to make it look just like the Beatles album cover. Did I spray paint the cassettes? Maybe--I don't recall. This was the last Walls Of Genius outing where we gave faux-band-names to all of the entries. It was standard practice at the time to use 90-minute cassette tapes. Of course we never thought it was overkill. In retrospect, this could have been two separate 45-minute releases, no problem. Side A of the cassette focused on silly songs for the most part and Side B represented the best material from a single jam session, almost entirely improvised. None of these tracks have been included in the "Raw Sewage" series.

Walls Of Genius

Fried psychedelia, relentless experimentation, hunter-gatherer improv, space rock doom, heavy rock monumentalism and daffy cover tunes.

The most unique band that ever was. Really! ... more
