    Wasn't Project 3 done by Enoch Light? It's crazy that he put out The Free Design. Mostly I associate him with quadraphonic stereo, awesome cover art, and lounge music. There are a couple of great moog-sploitation records he did on Command- one of my favorites is "Electronic Evolutions" by Richard Hayman & Walter Sear that lays down some mean funk drums under a couple of the moog covers.

    Josef Albers did a lot of the Persuasive Percussion record covers on Command. The Project 3 label records don't seem to come close to the quality and uniqueness of his Command label - no gatefold sleeve and the cover (at least for this Free Design one) isn't that great. I had two of these records at once and one of them the registration of the image on the front cover was completely off, which I always thought was strange. I love the label design though.

    Hmmm... This is really curious. For a while I was collecting all the Enoch Light joints (strictly for cover art except for those couple of Beatnuts samples). It always seemed like there were multiple versions of every release. But I did own a number of super heavy-duty gatefolds. I can't put my hands on my copy of "Kites are Fun" but I know that joint is a gatefold. I just checked my "You Could Be Born Again" and it's a gatefold with great art. Now if I could only find "Heaven / Earth"... Want that joint bad...

    Graham you are so right - it is gatefolded. I've been looking for "You Could Be Born Again" for awhile (I know it was reissued with the original art on 180g at somepoint?). I love the interior layout of "Kites are Fun" but the registration on the front cover of Ms. Sue Kraft's still irks me to no end.

    I think a couple of the Free Design joints were reissued -- I seem to stumble on "Kites Are Fun" more often than the others. There's a record show in D.C. Sunday -- I'll keep an eye out for you...

    Curious what Enoch Light records you have?

    Yeesh. That's a good question. I used to score these all the time at thrift stores, but ended up getting rid of a bunch before I moved from Richmond/had a flood in an apartment and had to trash some... I know I still have a couple -- what they are I don't exactly recall at the moment, but I know by sight I've owned Command Peformances, It's Happening So Let's Dance, Spaced Out (I know I still have that one somewhere), Patterns in Sound, a number of volumes of Provocative Percussion, Wherever You Are I Love You, Vibrations, Brass Menagerie, both volumes of Discotechque...
