Nick O'Lodeon Plays Actual Music On His Kaleidocosmicorgrig (Red Vinyl)
Nick O'lodeon Plays Actual Music on His Kaleidocosmicorgrig, Vol. 1. This is a rare TRANSLUCENT RED VINYL private-pressing LP of eccentric music performed by Nick Cornwall on a homemade instrument. Some details off the liner notes: This is a recording of the Kaleidocosmicorgrig. By description it is thirty-five feet in length, twelve feet tall, weighs approximately two tons, requires feeding daily and produces artful kaleidophonic sounds encompassing the compleate spectrum of human hearing. This is accomplished conveniently by one person via a contrivance of pedals, keyboards, pulleys, mousetraps, electrical wires, wind machines, magnets, bellows, fishing weights, stove pipes and bicycle wheels, arranged so as to control a parlor piano, thirty tuned bottles, thirteen ten-foot tuba pipes, a fine bass drum, two tambourines, a mariachi marimba, a wooden xylophone, Swiss glockenspiel, castanets, maracas, woodblock, cymbals, bonkers, zonkers and taxi horn& suspended within an anamachinamorphic wooden structure so fashioned as to resemble a huge fish supported by an Egyptian pylon flanked by tree and bowsprit forms. (And that's just a sample of the lengthy liner notes--worth a read for sure!)
Translucent RED vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing holding grade back, nothing I can feel though. Labels are excellent with Side 1 label SIGNED by Nick O'Lodeon dated 9-3-77. Cover in original SHRINK-WRAP is excellent with light cornerwear and light edgewear along exposed right edge barely holding grade back from NM.
