Call Me Burroughs (vinyl LP)

Originally released in 1965 by The English Bookshop in Paris and later by ESP-Disk in New York, Call Me Burroughs marks not only the recorded debut of William Burroughs, but also for many the first encounter with his inimatible voice. The album features the author reading from Naked Lunch and Nova Express, two of his best-known works that ultilize the cut-up method developed by Burroughs and artist Brion Gysin. An eerie, deadpan drawl guides the listener thrpugh sci-fi innerscapes, narcotic nightmares, reports from the edge of the apocalypse.
