"The Raybeats went into Green St. Recording on June 4, 1982 with Philip Glass, Michael Riesman, and Kurt Munkacsi without really knowing what to expect. We wouldn't know what we had until thirty years later."
So begin the liner notes to THE RAYBEATS - THE LOST PHILIP GLASS SESSIONS, a set of seven songs made in the early 1980s by the instrumental rock band The Raybeats that featured keyboard arrangements by Philip Glass.
New York City in the late-1970s and early 1980s was a place where the cross pollination of very different artistic streams was limitless. These never-heard before tracks were recently discovered by The Raybeats themselves: Don Christensen, Jody Harris, and Pat Irwin. Three of the tracks featured arrangements by Glass, performed by Glass, Michael Riesman, and the production team of Glass, Riesman, Kurt Munkacsi, and The Raybeats.
The songs include Black Beach, And I Do Just What I Want, Pack of Camels, Hoodlum Priest, A Sad Little Caper, 1.2 Girls, and a cover of the classic Jack the Ripper.
