Product description

Fred Frith's debut solo album, 'Guitar Solos', is a groundbreaking masterpiece that showcases the English guitarist, composer, and improviser's innovative approach to music. Released in 1974, this seminal work comprises eight tracks of unaccompanied and improvised music played on prepared guitars, pushing the boundaries of experimental rock and free jazz.

Recorded while Frith was still a member of the avant-garde rock group Henry Cow, 'Guitar Solos' is a testament to his fearless creativity and technical prowess. The album kicks off with the relatively accessible 'Hello Music', before embarking on a journey to the outer limits of guitar soloing, defying conventions and clichés.

With its unique blend of avant-garde, free jazz, and experimental elements, 'Guitar Solos' is an album that continues to inspire and influence musicians to this day. Frith's use of prepared guitars adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the music, creating a rich and immersive listening experience.

Clocking in at 37 minutes, 'Guitar Solos' is a concise yet powerful statement of Frith's artistic vision. The album's eight tracks, including 'Glass c/w Steel', 'Ghosts', and 'No Birds', demonstrate Frith's remarkable range and versatility as a guitarist and composer.

Originally released on Caroline Records in 1974, 'Guitar Solos' has been reissued and remastered over the years, introducing Frith's groundbreaking work to new generations of music enthusiasts. With its release on Week-End Records, this album remains an essential listening experience for fans of experimental and avant-garde music, and a testament to Fred Frith's innovative spirit and enduring legacy.

This is a 2024 Reissue Remastered released as a LP.

  • Gentle Start, Great Mastering

    4 out of 5 stars
    VuryeyuspApril 23, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Both albums start off with a fair bit of fluff. Aside from that, it's rather subdued and the mastering is just great. Really loved the gentle FIFTY too.

  • Peaceful Albums with Great Sound

    KuklejojbApril 23, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Both albums start with a fair bit of non-music. But aside from that, it's quite peaceful and the sound quality is great. Really loved the gentle FIFTY too.
