In the late 1970s Paul Buck initiated a series of cassette releases tied to his magazines Curtains<\/em> andTwisted Wrist<\/em>. Of a projected series, only a couple saw the light of day, made to order from master tapes and given handwritten labels. Beyond these 2 tapes (by Eric Mottram and, in combination, Buck and Ulli McCarthy) lay far more extensive recordings of magazine contributors, friends and correspondents.<\/p>\n

Some were recorded at Buck\u2019s home in Hebden Bridge, some were sent in correspondence, and others were recorded from public readings. A mixture of straight readings, performance pieces, or improvisations in the area of sound poetry, the archive is a unique collection which captures the experimentation and creative energies of an exciting and influential group of writers and performers.<\/p>\n

This boxed set makes the complete collection available for the first time. A number of the recordings have never been heard in public before.<\/p>\n
