Glad Music

Glad Music is the sixth vinyl record album by American multi-instrumentalist R. Stevie Moore (RSM). It was the second of four RSM albums released by New Rose Records in Paris. Glad Music differed from most Moore record albums by being almost exclusively recorded in a professional 8- and 16-track studio. The record sleeve's art design mimics the UK version of the Beatles' 1964 soundtrack album A Hard Day's Night. The title "Glad Music" was a nod to the music publishing company of the same name.

Earlier recordings of some of the songs had appeared on other albums, such as 1978's Delicate Tension. The ninth track, "Why Should I Love You?", was later covered by the English indie rock band the Vaccines and released as a single. The track "Along Comes Mary" was originally recorded by the Association in 1966.

gollark: Wow, my network connection is great today.
gollark: BRB right back, installing then never using zig.
gollark: Something like that? It's a bit weird. I don't know exactly how it works.
gollark: I mean, BF is very simple. Yet, memory-safe BF would be nightmarishly hard.
gollark: No it wouldn't. Assembly has you wildly do anything ever to registers and memory.
