DEATH'S CROWN

CUNEIFORM 55015

Composed & performed in late 1974, Death's Crown was written as a collaborative work with dancers, actors, lighting & coordinated slide shows - a multi-media event staged at a local dinner theatre in their original hometown of Harrisonburg, VA. The piece was performed several times, but was not a regular part of their repertoire, although parts of the work were regularly performed by the band in concert. Rehearsal tapes of the band performing Death's Crown were recently found & this release marks the first time that any of this material has ever been heard on record.


LIVE

CUNEIFORM 55014

Excellent performances & very good sound on recently discovered live tapes (7/78 & 10/78) from the final incarnation of the band [with drummer Coco Roussel] made Live possible. Spirited live versions of pieces from their two Arista lps, some of which are significantly different than the studio versions.
