Black Patti 8056

the title of this lathe, Black Patti 8056, refers to the last Black Patti catalog number of 8055. The title of side B, “frying bacon blues,” is a nod to the description frequently given to surface noise on 78 RPM shellac records. The hand-printed manila sleeve is my take on a “reproduction” of a Black Patti sleeve. The accompanying CDr contains two pieces, approx. 20 minutes each, that build off some of the elements / themes on the lathe. edition of 25 signed and numbered copies.
