{"product_id":"genesis-breyer-p-orridge_early-worm_2025_mdl","title":"Early Worm","description":"Summer 1968. At 18 years old, Genesis P-Orridge (then Neil Andrew Megson) locked themself away in an attic in suburban Solihull with some friends, armed with rudimentary equipment, to record raw and experimental sound fragments. From these sessions emerged Early Worm, the first testament to a mind already turned towards the most radical avant-garde. Only one copy was pressed to acetate in 1969, quickly lost, then rediscovered decades later in the artist’s personal archives. These recordings, influenced by psychedelia, Fluxus, John Cage, and the beatnik spirit, form a mosaic of noise, improvisation, and tape collages, marking the beginnings of the trajectory that would lead to COUM Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle, and Psychic TV. More than a simple sound artifact, Early Worm is a foundational piece, the missing link in P-Orridge’s sprawling body of work, restored here from the original tapes and reissued on limited vinyl with previously unreleased artist notes. As The Guardian summarizes, if Early Worm reveals one thing, it's that P-Orridge had, from the very beginning, a resolutely unconventional vision.","brand":"Genesis Breyer P-Orridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55342580302168,"sku":null,"price":20250718.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0638126003652.jpg?v=1760383491","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/genesis-breyer-p-orridge_early-worm_2025_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
