Diamanda Galás: The Metalanguage Album

Diamanda Galás - Diamanda Galas

(1984, Metalanguage LP 119; out of print.)



This was sourced from a cassette I made in '86 of my original Metalanguage vinyl copy. I still have the album, of course, but as it's quite old and otherwise impossible to find I'd rather not pull it from the vault. This must do for the moment.

(Sound quality of the tape is on a par with the Faust. Eros. Tot bootleg I posted some months ago, but I'll probably re-up it again before the end of the week - levels are HOT.)

Needless to say, this is an astonishing collection, one fairly screaming to be reissued...
