Abandoned Artifacts A processed version which combines three separate overlapping reading along with a rhythm track. Original recordings courtesy of James Grauerholz from performances at The Edge, Toronto; Tuts, Chicago; and Keystone Korner, San Francisco. Another reading of the same piece from New York is contained on the newly released double ablum featuring William Burroughs, John Giorno, and Laurie Anderson, entitled \"You're The Guy I Want To Share My Money With\". \"Abandoned Artifacts\" is a selection from Chapter One of Burrough's upcoming western novel, \"The Place of Dead Roads\".
On The Nova Lark This selection was recorded by William S. Burroughs in the early 60's in London or Tangiers. It is a passage partially contained in \"The Nova Express\". The background music is probably bleeding backwards from an instrument.
