Winter Songs
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1979 UK Embossed Cover Original With The Rare Insert. Small Corner Crease. Appears Unplayed. Avant-Garde Rock From Three Members Of Henry Cow (Fred Frith, Chris Cutler And Dagmar Krause). “Winter Songs Comprises Fourteen Short Songs Composed By Fred Frith Around Texts By Chris Cutler That Were Based On Carvings On The Stylobate Of The Amiens Cathedral In France. The Whole Album Was Recorded And Mixed Simultaneously, Taking 14 Days From Start To Finish. The Group Adopted An Approach Of Creating The Sound First And Committing It To Tape Immediately, Instead Of Leaving The Sound Detail To Post-Production Mixing. This Method Used The Studio As A Compositional Instrument. Etienne Conod, The Studio Engineer At Sunrise Studio, Played An Important Part In This Process, Becoming An Indispensable Member Of The Group.”
