purge.xxx #16 - Greatest Hits

purge.xxx releases music. It has been celebrated by The Wire magazine for its ‘disregard for the music industry, self-promotion and prevailing cultural norms,’ and an ‘ability to elevate distinct works and the obscure artists behind them.’ purge.xxx only releases music physically, unless a digital alternative has specifically been requested by a collaborating artist. It considers even the recording a compromise, but advocates things.

Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with Greatest Hits from Stanley Schtinter's Important Books (or, Manifestos Read by Children) series.

Four-cassette boxset featuring the ‘Greatest Hits’ from Stanley Schtinter's 'Important Books (or, Manifestos Read by Children)', which ran from May 2021 until May 2022 at Whitechapel Gallery in London. Produced in an edition of 21 copies only, and with almost four hours of audio content, each copy comes signed and numbered by the artist, and is accompanied by original writing from Erika Balsom and Gareth Evans.

Numbered & handmade to order in a maximum edition of 21 copies only; each copy contains a riso-printed giant cigarette card with a portrait of the artist as a child in a tractor with a tractor in the child’s hand.

This series for Resonance Extra is the first time much of the label's catalogue has been available to hear outside of its material form. It accepts the invitation by Resonance on the basis that none of these sounds are stored. If you want to hear it you need to be able to access the radio at midnight BST every Thursday.
