A LinnDrum Brought Back to Life

November Group "Put Your Back To It"

Uploaded on Jan 7, 2009 by tuneup89 - The track is from 1984.

Along the lines of the recent post in via Pea Hicks on the story of a Roland MC-8, we have a story of the actual LinnDrum used in the track for the video above by November Group.  That's the LinnDrum pictured to the left. This one comes in via XBS where you'll find the full post.

"The Linndrum we have has a long and illustrious lineage! It was originally owned by a good friend of mine who is now a great painter ( Alvan Long )! He is also a drummer and was in several boston bands long before my time! Here’s a Pure No Wave Gem from one of those bands called The November Group"

The bad news is it sat unused for 15 years with leaking battery and blown caps.  The good news is it was brought back to life by Forat.  Click through above for more pics and the full post.
