WALTER CARLOS with BENJAMIN FOLKMAN Switched-On Bach (1968 German 10-track stereo LP, by the man [pre-Wendy!] responsible for some of the haunting electronic music interpretations behind '2001' & 'A Clockwork Orange', fully laminated picture sleeve with 'Nr.1 in USA' sticker & the original sleeve artwork with the seated Bach image. Walter Carlos himself hated this artwork, complaining that it was 'a clownish, trivializing image of a mugging Bach', supposedly hearing some absurd sound fromhis earphones. The fact that these were plugged into the input, not the output, of a 914 Filter module, which in turn was also connected to nothing, assured that silence was all that would have greeted Johann Sebastian's ears. Subsequent pressings had a similar image but with a more serene looking Bach standing in front of the synthesizer. The sleeve shows light wear and the vinyl has little sign of play)
