Yeah I have the re-issued LP, though I do prefer that artwork to the original. Cost me £16.

"Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet" by Gavin Bryars

One of the strangest recordings of all times. It's a small snippet of a British tramp singing on old spiritual, looped repeatedly so that it repeats over 150 times for over 70 minutes, accompanied by a slowly growing orchestra and eventually an overdubbed duet with Tom Waits. It becomes very trancelike and strangely beautiful, but it's definitely a love it or hate it thing. I can only listen to it once every couple of years.

"The Sinking of the Titanic (Live)" by Gavin Bryars

A similar idea but less repetitive (and effective), with distorted snatches of songs supposedly sung and played by Titanic victims floating through an orchestral sea

First vid I found that I hadn't previously posted from this great collection, this one is cool because it's comprised of color footage from a local TV show restored with their strong record, a miss: "We're Gonna Love"

Hardly representative, here's the next one I found, sounding old fashioned with ridiculous lyric, no real tune, one of those superbly crappy records included on Vol 1, blaring sax and the hottest surf lick you've ever heard:
