Annette Peacock ORIG UK LP Been in the streets too long NM ’83 Ironic 3 Jazz Original 1st Press UK LP released in 1983 on Ironic Records. Cat: Ironic3. Comes with printed lyric insert which is in Excellent condition.

Perhaps by the very nature of what it is and how it is assembled, Annette Peacock's self-released Been in the Streets Too Long, issued in 1983, is her most challenging and experimentally poetic, if disjointed, recording. For starters, its nine tracks were recorded between 1974 and 1983, almost all of them stripped back to the barest essentials, like demos in approach, but fully realized in production. Some tracks, like the title (1975), "Song To Separate" (1974), and "Pillow-Lined Prison" (1975), feature only Peacock's plaintive yet sensual voice accompanied by her haunting piano. Others are duets and trios. Some of these come off as deeply moving paeans of strained and wasted desire, such as "Safe Inside the Fantasy," a duet with saxophonist Evan Parker (in his straightest and most lyrical performance ever) began in '75 and finished in '83. And others still, such as the instrumental "It Hurts" with Bill Bruford, Brian Godding, and Chris Spedding, are slices of vanguard improvisation held in the expressionistic frame of Peacock's avant pedigree that began with her former husband Gary Peacock in Albert Ayler's band in the 1960s.
