Hello, ...this came out on CD through Geffen around 1993 or so, with swell Mike Watt liner notes added. I don't think it's "difficult" in the way that the other records that Jim Flannery mentioned are. But the record, for me at least, took a while to absorb. It lacks the immediately grabbing elements that many of the Sonic Youth share, such as an explosive/memorable opening cut. Also, beginning w/ "Bad Moon Rising", Sonic Youth albums are usually pretty cohesive. "The White(y) Album" is stylistically all over the place, though that wildly disparate quality is a big part of what eventually charmed me to the record. I certainly wouldn't recommend "White(y)" as a starting point to the band (for that I'd say start at "Bad Moon Rising" and then work forward and backward). Just my two cents. I remain.... Joseph NP: Arthur Doyle_ "Plays and Sing From the Songbook Vol. 1" CD NR: Howard Zinn- "A People's History of the United States"
_Silver Session_, _Goodbye 20th Century_, _The Whitey Album_ (as Ciccone
Youth), _Kill Yr Idols_
The Whitey Album? I guess I only remember the Madonna cover which was quite... groovy. Was the remainder of the record "difficult"? As a side question is this LP available on CD?
Thanks, Patrice.> _______________________________________________ zorn-list mailing list zorn-list@mailman.xmission.com To UNSUBSCRIBE or Change Your Subscription Options, go to the webpage below http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zorn-list
