Legendary Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore will be flogging over 300 records from his personal collection at London’s World of Echo record store.
The sale is set to take place on October 5th at their 128 Columbia Road store. Unfortunately none of the records will be available for purchase online, but you can bet your sweet bippy that there’ll be a few wily cretins popping their purchases up on eBay in days to come.
“As would be expected given Moore’s relationship to the underground and lifelong engagement with various music cultures, the selection compromises a broad range of genres,” World of Echo shared on Instagram.
“Spanning multiple variants of jazz, noise, hardcore, black metal, ethnographic, punk and post-punk, no-wave, krautrock, ambient, electronic and the avant-garde.”
The sale promises “a number of the records are highly collectable or rarely seen.”
This coincides with the beginning of Moore’s tour in support of his most recent project, Spirit Counsel, a box set of “epic instrumental pieces” set for release on September 21st. Moore will kick things off with a live in-store set at London’s Rough Trade East on September 20th before heading out on a European and American run.
Moore recently dropped a cover New Order’s Power, Corruption & Lies track ‘Leave Me Alone’. The cover was recorded alongside a group of Manchester musicians, in Salford, England.
“Salford is the only place I would dare cover a New Order song, with local musicians and local pints,” Thurston Moore shared with The Quietus. “It was just one of those rare occasions, where something I wouldn’t normally do was done just for fun, and in homage and respect to the place.”
