Is this the same recording of The Great Learning (well, only part of it, unless it's a multidisk set) that was rereleased on Organ of Corti recently?

Joseph, you already got the answer from Jon Abbey two years ago :-): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Thanks to Jon Abbey for more (09/22/00): # "yes. Bruce's description isn't really correct. it's three pieces, all # roughly 20 minutes long, paragraphs 2 and 7 recorded in 1971 which # constituted the DG record, and paragraph 1 recorded in 1982, and # previously unissued, I believe. DMG is already out of stock, but I'm sure # they'll get more soon. Other Music has copies, but for $17 instead of $15. # there should be a full description at the Forced Exposure site." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrice.
