Swamp Patrol 84
originally released on cassette in 1983, C61
Swamp Patrol 84 is one of the most obscure titles in my catalog and yet one of my favorites today in 2007. Swamp Patrol was a collaboration of Hal McGee and Debbie Jaffe (Viscera) with David Mattingly (of Gabble Ratchet and Bright Too Late). This tape was kind of a companion piece to the 60 Minutes Of Laughter tape from 1982, and in fact it recycles some of the material from 60 MOL and expands on many of the themes from the earlier tape. Swamp Patrol 84 was originally recorded for inclusion in an issue of Level Mail Art zine -- participants were invited to submit 100 copies of an art object -- 100 boxed issues containing the contributions of all the participants were distributed to subscribers and participants. Keywords: dada, collage, improvisation, cut-ups, Casio VL-Tone, absurdism, spoken word, bruitism, simultaneous poetry. Reissued by Zidsick. Listener discretion advised.
