Scope and Contents

The word "scratch" was etched into a metal master and vinyl records were subsequently pressed. There is no sound on this recording other than that made by the physical text carved into the record. The resulting sound produces a variety of polyrhythmic clicks. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
