BORN BAD RECORDS Born Bad Records Kiosque D'Orphee 3LP Vinyl Compilation

Experience a unique journey through the history of French autoproduction with this 3LP vinyl compilation from Born Bad Records. Kiosque D'Orphee captures the essence of rare private press recordings made in France between 1973 and 1991. This collection brings together 23 unique tracks that span a wide variety of sounds, including leftfield pop, psychedelic rock, trippy folk, spiritual jazz, and ambient music. This set tells the story of the legendary structure run by Georges Batard. Starting in 1967, Batard used specialized equipment like a Neumann tube engraver to create acetates from various tapes. These recordings were then sent to press factories to create extremely limited runs of only 50 to 500 copies. This compilation preserves those rare moments of musical history, offering listeners a chance to hear sounds that were once nearly impossible to find. Whether you are a fan of spaced-out rock or experimental jazz, this vinyl set provides an immersive look into a specific era of independent French music.
