Stuff You Might've Missed / Download – Tellus – All Guitars!

Originally conceived in New York in the early 80s, Tellus magazine was a self-described “subscription only, bimonthly publication” created in order to document New York scene. Each issue of magazine was coming with a tape compilation with music revolving around one specific genre/theme.
Tellus “All Guitars” issue came out in 1985 and was curated by Tom Paine (Live Skull) and a cover art was created by Jane Bauman. As the title suggests, this is a collection of guitar pieces by various New York artists (and some of non-natives, as well).
Thanks to UbuWeb sound archive, the compilation is available for download – get it here.
