RARE Limited Edition LP Esperanza Spalding Exposure Record 0491/7777 Autographed
A Little about this album Spalding started broadcasting the writing, arranging, and recording of Exposure at 9am PST on September 12, 2017 for 77 hours straight. Spalding chose to do the experiment in 77 hours because she was once told by a reverend that "seven is a divine number. It’s the number of completion. It represents the earthly culmination of a divine thought", and she enjoyed that sentiment. She has stated that the premise of Exposure is that all the facets of creators only need the right environment to coalesce into completeness.
It’s called “Exposure”. “Exposure”. September 12th at 9am I’m going to the studio for three days with nothing prepared. We can’t stop to judge, wonder, question “is it good enough? Is it right? Oh let me redo that.” Nah, nah, nah, it’s like life. We are performing for you. It’s real time and I presume you’ll have comments and thoughts and feedback and we’ll incorporate those too. So, it’s an exchange. I wanna take away all the layers we usually hide behind as creators and just get right to the conversation of creating directly for you. So when the three days is up and the recording button goes off and the cameras go off, that’s it. I’m not gonna touch it. I’m just gonna mix it and send it to you. So what it is I’m gonna send to you is a CD or an LP, but there’s only 7,777 copies because it was a moment in time! So if you get one, you get one. If you don’t, you don’t. So you can pre-order it now and that’s "Exposure".
— Spalding, announcing Exposure on her YouTube channel.Exposure exists as a limited edition of 7,777 physical copies, all individually signed and numbered, as well as an original piece of notepaper Esperanza will have used to write the lyrics and music, allowing those who witnessed the process to own a piece of the creation itself, directly from the source. All 7,777 physical albums were announced and available for pre-order on July 26, 2017, and were completely sold out on the final day of Spalding's live stream on September 15, 2017
