Summary
SUMMARY: Partly edited footage of a taping session. The first 26 min. of the tape contain a complete run-through of the work, with several false starts. This is followed by retakes of various sections, not in sequence: 2 repetitions of Disco mama (approx. 18 min.), 1 repetition of "I love you" with tango loops (approx. 6 min.), 3 repetitions of Invitation (approx. 5 min.), 1 repetition of It's impossible (approx. 3 min.), and 1 repetition of The woes of woo (approx. 4 min.). This is a revised version of the work found on *MGZIDF 2763 (formerly *MGZIC 9-3508 [Beverly Blossom]).
