- The first LP who did such a thing was released by "Brian Giorno's Poetry
- System" and contained three tracks on both sides. Each side thus contained
- a piece of Laurie Anderson, Brian Giorno and William S. Burroughs.
- The release that is nowadays sold, hasn't this speciality anymore.
-
- There are very interesting things out on vinyl, as example there is a
- Boyd Rice LP (or EP) which contained different locked track loops. The
- needle would jump from one loop to another, thus creating random pieces
- of music (noise, in the case of Boyd).
