corwood industries #0739



somewhere in houston, texas:

"you are a cowboy when you wear those boots".

A thousand copies printed. Only two sold by 1980. The fools.

"Ready for the House is the debut album by Jandek, and was released in 1978 by his own Corwood Industries label, with the catalog number #0739. The artist has said in letters that the number was meaningless."

Written and performed - quite possibly - by Sterling Richard Smith.

I like the ashtray laid out invitingly on the sofa's armrest. Unsettling.

JANDEK: NAKED IN THE AFTERNOON from "Ready For The House" LP (Corwood Industries) 1978 (US)
