Arthur Russell - World of Echo 2xLP repress (+news of future pressings of other stuff)

[AlexH.]

Yo! This exists! And the first two pressings are expensive as fuck! Limited to 1000 for some stupid reason, so find a copy and don't let go. I just bought the second to last one at SSD:

There's also a bunch on Discogs:

Also the Audika website says:

 

Love Is Overtaking Me and Calling Out Of Context will also again be available on vinyl shortly.

 

So that's awesome, because those are two of my favorite records ever!

 

I am probably talking to no one here, because there are no color variants and this guy was never in a major label punk band, but I don't care!

Yeah, I got this from my local store as soon as they brought it in.

One of the most beautiful albums of all time for me.

 

Glad to hear Audika is doing more.

 

Cheers!

I hear ya'! Love Is Overtaking Me is drastically under-appreciated. I also love my Soul Jazz 3x vinyl of The World of Arthur Russell ( by far best sounding of my A.R. vinyl) and the new Arc Light press of Another Thought (prob. my favorite Russell collection). I haven't picked up this World of Echo lp yet. I admit it's an album I don't play much and prob. won't anytime soon though I appreciate it's existence...like Tim Buckley's StarSailor I guess. I think I'll look for a good vinyl copy of Calling Out Of Context first to be perfectly honest. An album I only have on cd but spin quite a bit still. Yay A. Russell fans!!
