RICHARD BISHOP The Freak Of Araby (2009 US limited edition
10-track vinyl LP from the Sun City Girls founder. Playing
homage to a guitar hero of his youth, Omar Khorshid, 'The
Freak of Araby' is perhaps Bishop's most linear work,
focusing onaspecific traditional music that dates back to
ancient times as well as to his own Lebanese heritage. The ten
tunes here are a mixed bunch- some of them 'new' and some
stolen from the rich burial grounds of traditional Middle
Eastern melodies.The picture sleeve shows some light wear
and the vinyl remains in Excellent condition DC398)
