Description

Laurie Anderson's record release party for “O Superman” 7" (and “Walk The Dog”) (released on 110 Records) on April 28, 1980 at The Kitchen in New York City. Charles Amirkhanian interviews Laurie Anderson, Bob George, Jon Gibson, Phill Niblock, Roma Baran and Ken Friedman. Like Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope" this slice of reality in one take features Amirkhanian wandering through a dense crowd of revelers, nabbing interviewees spontaneously as they appear in his peripheral vision. No splices!!
