YGX999 - Ltd. Ed. of 500

Printed on heavy raw stock as with Glowing Man and To Be Kind etc.

The material for this album is collected here in a limited edition and is only available at this website and at solo shows. These are some of the songs that I play and reinterpret in a live solo setting. They were collected from various sources, some previously unavailable, some obscure and some not. If you'd care to explore the original context in which these songs first appeared, their sources are listed immediately following the song title below. This collection and this physical package will not be available other than at my current series of solo performances and at this website. As usual I appreciate the opportunity to perform my songs for you, and I love you. - Michael Gira, NY 2018
