MUSICHE

Levico, 2/12/95

Dear Mr. Christiansen,

I'm a music journalist from Italy, I'm currently writing for the monthly magazine Rumore and for the quarterly Musiche. I am sorry to disturb you personally, I just hope there will be a secretary taking care of relations with the press! I'm writing to you because I got very interested into "artists' records", some years ago I wrote an article regarding two records dedicated to the Fluxus movement (please find it enclosed), and now I'd like to write one about the (few) artist' records still available, where it is possible to buy them from, etcetera; the only mail order store specialized in that I know is Berlin's Gelbe Musik, and I've seen in their latest catalogue they have two CDs (I'm especially curious to hear Dust Out of Brain, since I was surprised to see David Moss, a musician I know very well, in it), a cassette and an LP, bdt some of them at fairly high prices, and I was wondering, since very often in their catalogue products from other countries cost a lot more than in their country of origin, that maybe, for example, Dust has been released by a gallery in Denmark at a much lower price (the problem I have with artists' records is that I can't really afford them!). So I would be very grateful to you if you could maybe send me an address for a mail order store in Denmark (or other countries) who also sell your records; also, is there any chance to find famous records like "Schottische Symphonie", or the "Abschiedsymphonie", which is sold out at Gelbe Musik?
I thank you very much for your time,

Best regards,

[Walter Rovere]
