Basquiat Gray Vinyl Record album 2019

About the Item

Basquiat & Gray: 2019 "Gray, Shades of..." Vinyl Record Album featuring offset cover art after Basquiat - who originally conceived & executed the cover artwork in 1980 for a Gray show at CBGB. This jewel of a record also includes previously lost original sound recordings & remixes featuring Basquiat’s music and voice; plus 3 LPs, interior photos & a fold-out booklet documenting Gray's history. 12x12 inches. 2019. New and sealed in its original packaging. Excellent condition. Unsigned from a limited edition of unknown. Looks fantastic framed. 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."
