Address this thread with strictly live shit. No hogwash JFK speech compilations, The First Family, George Carlin, or Shure Cartridge demonstration LPs. Those are everywhere. I'd like to see anything that discusses suicide, drug addiction, mentally unstable folks. And if it's narrated by a women, all the better. But of course, show me what you got.

Re: Essential Talking LPs
In the early '90s, this was one of the first "wall" records I bought. Asked the dude at Amoeba if he would take it down for me. It was priced $25. Which was the most I had spent on a record back then. I thought it was "rare." I had just read an article about the Big Black original LPs which detailed all the stuff fans found inside the jackets. The band would fill the record sleeves with razor blades, rolling papers, condoms, etc. This record was sealed, so I figured I had that loot.
I paid my $25 bucks, got it home, cracked the seal, and among all the other shit in the record, there was a note, presumably from Albini, that read, "If you paid more than $3 for this record, you are a complete dick."
=priceless
Big Black had planned their breakup three albums before it happened. This record is funny, as the questions are written by someone with a command for the english language, while they are asked by some German dude. But since it's supposed to be Texas, all the questions revolve around cowboyism, chewing tabacco, and Stetson hat sizes. The German dude keeps fumbling the questions, and the band can't understand most of what he's saying. Typical question: "Where do y'all find collegiate pussy to be the tightest, and the loosest?"
A script of the questions is enclosed, and you can hard pan your stereo to hear just the questions, or just the answers, in either channel. The idea being you could fill in for the interviewer or interviewee.
It says the questions were written by Daniel 'Python Skinner' O'Grady, premier music writer from the Lone State, Texas, but I am sure he stole everything from Archaic.

Re: Essential Talking LPs
NEVER BUY A RECORD THAT ADVERTISES: "REAL CALLS FROM PEOPLE WHO LATER COMMITTED SUICIDE."
By far, the weirdest record I own. Some clinical, stuffy sounding dude introducing the "cuts." Which are horribly recorded calls from people who are screaming, crying, blathering, while the "counselor" feeds them what I think is terrible advice (I've buried 4 friends in 5 years, I know).
Best track title ever: Divorced Man, 42, Weeping, With A Gun
(no shit)
WEIRD!
Peace to the dude in Tel Aviv who sent it to me...

Re: Essential Talking LPs
It's clear what you dudes think of the Crouch today, but I am feeling dude back in leather elbows on a corduroy suit jacket days.
Crouch cites the article from Harlem On My Mind that discusses the great white composers going up to Harlem and stealing motifs from the Black musicians. Listen. (That Piano isn't on the record, by the way.) Then he rails on Janis Joplin, calling her an "imitation nigger", which is where I think Mos Def got the inspiration for that one jam of his, cause it's pretty much word-for-word.
He reads several poems as well.

Nah, he just sampled public domain.
I'm not big on talking albums but that Steven Jesse Bernstein album that Sub Pop put out in '92...what a job of capturing a raving lunatic at his most manic. Geaux Steve Fisk...

Re: Essential Talking LPs
Here are a few good talking lps. I like the LSD documentary lps ( mostly Leary). The one simply titled LSD (not the leary one) is crazy as it contains lots of interviews with live tripping hippies and side 2 is "the actual recording of a young man experiencing the wild hallucinations of an lsd trip' unfortunately for him he ends up having a bad one. The Love Serve remember is a Baba Ram Dass 6lp box set and has maybe 4 sides of him on radio giving spiritual advice to callers "if you are freaking just feel the freak" Ram Dass (Richard Alpert) was leary's off sider during the LSD revolution.

I got the white label Dance Remix of "THE SPORT".
What the fuck? Dance remix? (With acappella?) One of my favorite records of all time. Find a hurt place, and don't ever let it heal. Steve Fisk puts more bass into his shit than most hip-hop producers. Seriously, rock "The Sport" in the whip sometime and you will notice the fucking low end as it murders your assbone and boils your spinal fluid.

Gould is my ace homie. This LP interview was released 4 years after he abandonned the concert stage. Gould comes up in all of our ClassicalStrut threads, and I can't stress enough how genius hoLmes is. This record is great, because you can hear how fucking kooky he is. Listen.
This was during the time he was making his contrapunctal recordings of interviewed voices. Great LPs, they are, one and all. On those nights when all my friends are "going out" and I feel guilty for staying in my apartment alone, I just think of my dude Gould, and all is well.
Your willful refusal to appear in public, as if you were hurting them

This is a recent find. I had never heard of it. I found it just after she died. The reading of her short Debriefing details the suicide of a friend. My girllove, who holds Sontag in high esteem, was excited when she saw this, but after about twenty minutes she deemed Sontag's reading voice "boring." I have a little more patience for "boring", plus she talks about suicide, but I can see where ol' girl is coming from.

Re: Essential Talking LPs
Camus reading The Stranger in his native tongue is what's up! Dude will talk you right out of them panties. I have the 45 of Simone DeBeauvoir reading UNE HISTOIRE QUE JE ME RACONTAIS, now all I need is some Sarte and I'll have hit the Paris School of Frenchistentialism Trifecta™
Caedmon came correct with a lot of talking LPs, I just wish they had more stones. Their records are like great recipes minus all the required spice. Too scared to cuss, basically.
