Miniatures: A Sequence of Fifty-One Tiny Masterpieces

In 1980, former Mott the Hoople keyboardist Morgan Fisher invited 50 musicians who he admired to send in tracks of up to one minute in length for this astounding album. They responded with unanimous enthusiasm, and as well as receiving tapes through the mail from all over the world, Morgan also packed up his Revox tape recorder and went to several musicians homes to record them there. Original artwork for the album was contributed by the notorious Ralph Steadman.

Needless to say, all the tracks are part of the TMW library.
