Basquiat Gray Limited Edition Vinyl record album & poster

2018

About the Item

Basquiat Gray: Rare Gray 7" Vinyl Record Album featuring a limited photo card/poster of Jean Michel Basquiat and his band Gray at Hurrah's, NYC, 1979 by Nicholas Taylor of Gray. This set is numbered 111 from a limited edition of 300 and is likewise accompanied by a hand-signed photo card by existing Gray members Nicholas Taylor & Michael Holman. Record label uniquely features an offset image of Basquiat's fingerprint & Gray designed logo, which Basquiat originally created for a 1979/80 gig at CBGB. Published in 2018 from a sold out edition of 300. Dimensions: 7x7 inches (applies to each individual piece). Excellent condition. The 7" record single is new & unplayed. Numbered from an edition of 300 on the label. Includes two photo cards, band photo by Nicholas Taylor and a remix of Gray's 'Sweetness of the New'. A fantastic Basquiat collectible that should not be passed upon. More on Basquiat Gray, see Glenn O'Brien, "Gray Matters," GQ Magazine April, 2011: "Gray’s approach to music was having heard music, to approach instruments and sound systems the way one would pick up a strange machine and try to intuit its operation and function. Since Basquiat didn’t know guitar technique, it seemed like a good idea to play one with a steel file. Michael Holman discovered that you could achieve a very nice effect by pulling masking tape off the skin of a snare drum... And then there was the clarinet that Basquiat liked to walk around with, that was as much a scepter and wand as wind instrument. This utterly charming 27-track album is chock full of the road not taken, which sounds so right just now. It is refreshingly stripped of flagrant virtuosity but it is conceived brilliantly, played perfectly, and arranged impeccably... If a wine can have notes of chocolate, leather, licorice, and tobacco, then this record can have notes of William DeVaughn, Willie Hutch, Marcel Duchamp, Larry Coryell, the Modernaires, Sergio Mendez, the Tube Bar Tape, Chet Baker, Melvin Van Peebles, Gilberto/Jobim, and Dragnet."
