June 2022: after myriad requests this inaugural ca. 2003 "Proto Creel Pone" title has now been augmented to include Dolat-Shahi's second Folkways outing, "Otashgah: Place Of Fire" from 1986, to complete his run for the label on a single disc. Includes a to-scale replica of the rear-panel "wraparound" credits printed on a double-sided insert; enjoy!

Back in late 2003, long before the idea of doing this on a slightly less meager scale was a glimmer in Mr. P.C. C.P.'s eye, we made a couple-ten replica editions in a now-familiar spec of a few key records ("Sounds of the Junkyard/Office", "Worlds Within Worlds 1-4", the Edition X "Black Record", "Electronic Panorama", etc.) purely for friends & family/edification purposes, all of which are now collectively known as the "PCP" ("Proto Creel Pones").

Was surprised to find a few stray copies of the first title here while unboxing what remains of the C.P. master cache (decimated; largely lost in the move back from Australia in early 2019). This is course one of my personal all-time favorite records & has been reissued both on a CD-R by Smithsonian-Folkways as well as an LP pressing by the Boomkat folks in the interim; I'm putting these up here purely for the completists (listed/stickered here as "Creel Pones" as why not) and as I prefer the bright, sparkling fidelity of this painstaking restoration of a less-than-fully-minty OG copy to the SF needle-drop & the Dead-Cert restoration.
