PENDU FEMELLE: ENCOUNTER WITH DUCHAMP
(DUCHAMP, MARCEL) (PENDU FEMELLE AKA TIM KUMMEROW). Kummerow, Tim. NP (Pasadena, CA).: Readymade Records, 1988. First Edition. Square 8vo. 45 RPM Single in a Sleeve. Artist's Multiple. As New./As New.. One 7" 45 rpm vinyl record in unprinted white paper sleeve with a printed wrapper, 1 b&w illustration. This engaging bit of sonic mayhem was issued as catalogue number RM 02 in 1988 by Pasadena Dada aficionado Tim Kummerow's Readymade Records to coincide with the birth centenary of Marcel Duchamp. A 7" single pressed on clear vinyl, "Encounter with Duchamp" is a rollicking homage to the master that incorporates recorded fragments of Duchamp's voice with adventuresome musical accompaniment credited to "Pendu Femelle" - which was Kummerow, A.J. Marik, and Ian Montgomery. The B-side is entitled "The Main Event". A brand new, unplayed example of both the record and sleeve of this limited, barely distributed rarity perfect for the Duchamp completeist. Inventory Number: 023953
