OUT NOW ON Peripheral Minimal Records!!
PM34 Steve Parry / Colin Potter "WOMB" CD
Peripheral Minimal records is proud to announce the forthcoming release of the legendary and previously unreleased album, "WOMB" by Steve Parry (Neu Elektrikk / Hywl Nofio) and Colin Potter (Nurse With Wound). Recorded onto tape in 1981, it has remained unreleased in any format until now! Limited to 500 copies in a digipak CD with an 8-page booklet containing detailed information about the recordings.
"Womb remained unreleased other than a few cassette tapes given to friends. In 2014 I re-discovered the album master tapes while having a house clear-out. The Ampex 406 master tapes were severely damaged due to natural deterioration, the original tape had to undergo a time-consuming restoration process. Thankfully the project was salvageable and the music was transferred to digital. I must admit listening now to these recordings I am reminded of the creative surge and ebullient enthusiasm for making the music. It was indeed an exciting time."
- Steve Parry
