Scarce original 1980 US Seeland label 20-track LP - the debut album by Concord, Bay Area multi-instrumentalists with an ear for tape manipulation and treatments of all sorts.

Side 2: Seeland 001 Post LKIK M L-1616

Vinyl is accompanied by 'Coffee Deserts' insert - housed in spraypainted and handnumbered picture cover with top glued cover slicks on frant and back - allowing the viewer to lift and see the spraypainted cover underneath. Front cover slick is matt black with two paste on 1950ies adds - back is a piece of wallpaper with paste on credits sheet... elaborate. Handnumbering is in red ball point - this is number 5144.
