{"product_id":"phonography","title":"Phonography","description":"Personnel includes: R. Stevie Moore (vocals, various instruments); Billy Anderson (vocals, bass, tambourine); Johna Lynn (background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eReissue producer: Stewart Mason.\u003cbr\u003eOriginally released on Vital Music in 1976 and reissued on the HP label in November 1978. Includes liner notes by Dennis Diken.\u003cbr\u003eDigitally remastered by R. Stevie Moore (WFMU, East Orange, New Jersey).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in Nashville between 1972 and 1976 on a pair of four-tracks with one cheap microphone, then self-released in an initial edition of 100 copies, PHONOGRAPHY is the birth of the lo-fi DIY aesthetic. Artists from Guided by Voices and Pavement to the Apples in Stereo and Cornelius owe a tremendous debt to R. Stevie Moore, the first to make a viable career completely outside the musical mainstream.\u003cbr\u003eContaining inspired pop songs, Syd Barrett-meets-Brian Wilson ballads, Zappaesque experiments, spoken word pieces, whimsical oddities and one song (\"Moons\") that predated Stereolab's sound by 15 years, PHONOGRAPHY is an inspired grab bag and the first solid evidence that R. Stevie Moore was a refreshingly different musical personality. Lovingly remastered and adding eight 1972-76 bonus tracks along with extensive liner notes by Dennis Diken, this CD edition only improves on the original.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51141766349087,"sku":"752725027427","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9b199e3cc3458a0e2de41274720d1b9d_8c15b152-d084-4aeb-8ab5-80f84cd879de.jpg?v=1777831704","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/phonography","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
