AGP142 is the second in a series of transcriptions of the long out-of-print ReR Quarterly, produced by Recommended Records. Released at irregular intervals of no less than three months, the series continued through three volumes of LP releases, before switching to the CD medium for a fourth volume starting in 1994, and then ending in 1997. Each volume except the third consisted of four issues containing a magazine and either an LP or CD of music. A pair of CDs with selected tracks from the first two volumes were released in 1991, but those are now also long out of print. A complete track listing for the series can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReR_Quarterly.

AGP142 is a transcription of the LP from volume 1, issue 2, released in September 1985. The highlights of this issue are an extended live structured improvisation at the Festival of Political Song, in East Berlin in February 1984, by a group called Duck and Cover that includes Henry Cow, Chris Cutler, and Dagmar Krause--all of Henry Cow and the Art Bears--as well as Tom Cora and other musicians. There is also a nice electroacoustic piece by John Oswald.
