WALTER CARLOS with BENJAMIN FOLKMAN Switched-On Bach (1968 UK 10-track stereo LP, by the man [pre-Wendy!] responsible for some of the haunting electronic music interpretations behind '2001' & 'A Clockwork Orange', front laminated picture sleeve. This first pressing has 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 just light shelfwear with minor age yellowing to the unlaminated back & the vinyl remains in excellent conditon with little sign of play).
