Genesis P-Orridge (b. 1950) William S. Burroughs + Brion Gysin + P.Orridge - Cold Spring Tape (1989) 
Label: Cold Spring Format: Cassette, Limited Edition, C90 Country: United Kingdom Released: 1989 Genre: Non Music Style: Interview, Spoken Word Notes: Limited edition of 100 numbered copies A bizarre tape collage, featuring interviews, readings and various sound experiment pieces,with/or by Brion Gysin, Bill Burroughs, and Genesis P. Orridge. The innovators of what became to be known as Industrial culture. Dunno what the date of some of these interviews are,as it was released three years after Gysin's death! But, it does contain some interesting insights on the origins of the "Cut-up" technique of writing(born on a Cold Spring morning in Paris 1958; is this the origin of the Cold spring Record label title?), and how it influenced a teenage Genesis. They used to have tonnes of tapes like this at the much missed Compendium Books on Camden High Street, London, which is where this was probably from. A bookstore that lives on in memory. Allen Ginsburg read there. Kathy Acker worked there. Stewart Home lived in the basement (not literally). The greatest collection of counter-culture books on everything from Trotsky to tattooing.Altogether, a fine portal of alternative information that was forced to close by free market pressures and the advent of that bloody Internet thingy.
