This was the 19th of the ca. 2003 "Proto Creel Pone" titles, a replica edition of the canonic American Sound Artist's first Private-Press LP, as realized via the Sydney EMI Custom facility plant in 1978 & covering Field Recordings & Sound Sculptures made around Sydney & Melbourne exhibited at the NGV in March 1978. Possibly misleading in its (early) use of the phrase, these pieces vary between raw documentation of acoustically-significant environments & events, presaging much of the diaristic work of the coming wave of post/"Broken-Music" world of Sound Works made primarily by Visual Artists with the remit of galleries & museum-spaces.
This replica edition covers every stray detail of the OG pressing on the outer panels, with blown-up detail of the liners & metholodogies on the inner ones. Absurdly great music; I've heard Fontana's name spoken-of in less-than-glowing terms more than a few times recently, largely due to how unknown & inaccessible this early material was... until now.
