{"product_id":"william-s-burroughs-alis-smile","title":"William S. Burroughs - Ali's Smile (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAli's Smile\u003c\/em\u003e is a remarkable artifact from the catalog of William S. Burroughs, one of the most influential and boundary-pushing literary figures of the 20th century. Originally created to accompany a published text of the same name, the recording showcases Burroughs in his element — delivering spoken word in his distinctively dry, hypnotic voice, rooted in the experimental cut-up tradition he helped define. Released by Paradigm Discs, this 2021 presentation brings the work to a new generation of listeners, mastered from the original vinyl recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe record is divided into two sections: the title piece, which occupies the majority of the first side, and a second side featuring spoken word and interview material that offers a fascinating window into Burroughs' thinking and creative process. Together, they capture the raw, unfiltered energy of a writer who treated language itself as a medium to be cut, spliced, and reassembled. For fans of experimental audio, Beat Generation literature, or avant-garde spoken word, \u003cem\u003eAli's Smile\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential and absorbing listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(209, 72, 65);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling Time Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e ** Please allow an additional 4-5 business days for this item's shipment. **\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Paradigm Discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Non-Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: 06\/11\/2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1.
