Another Thought" was released on Philip Glass's POINT MUSIC label after Arthur Russell's death, and is a must-listen for Arthur Russell fans. This masterpiece, which will go down in history, is now available in analog form on the Be With label. Additional pressings are now in stock.

Arthur Russell was a legendary musician who met Allen Ginsberg, lived in the world of NYC avant-garde music and underground disco, and passed away from AIDS. This CD compilation of previously unreleased material, released on Philip Glass' POINT MUSIC label in 1994 after his death, is being reissued for the first time on analog by BE WITH RECORDS. The CD contains another take of one of his best-known songs, "In The Light Of The Miracle," a later remake of "This Is How We Walk On The Moon," the machine-beat "My Tiger, My Timing," and "A Little Lost," all vocal songs, his own cello, and a few other songs. All are vocal songs, performed mainly with Arthur Russell's own cello and guests, and all are full of Arthur Russell's charm as a singer. A 140g 2LP album with a synth sheet enclosed in a spread sleeve, this could be the album of a lifetime. (Original Japanese text by Saito)

2021 re-issue, 140g double vinyl, gatefold sleeve with insert and original liner notes


Another Thought was the first collection of Arthur Russell’s music to be released after his death in 1992. Released on CD by Point Music in 1993 it marked the beginning of nearly 30 years of work to let the world hear the enormous archive of unreleased recordings Arthur left behind. Be With revisits this first compilation for a new gatefold double vinyl version and a triple-fold digipak CD re-issue.

This is the only place where you can hear some of Arthur’s most recognisable music, like the title track Another Thought, A Little Lost, This Is How We Walk On The Moon, Keeping Up and the woozy disco of In The Light Of The Miracle and My Tiger, My Timing. Though technically a compilation, the whole of Another Thought comes together as a consistent, coherent, wonderful album.

Thanks to Janette Beckman for helping reproduce her iconic photograph of Arthur in his newspaper boat hat for the new vinyl sleeve. And thanks also to Tom Lee for giving permission to include his liner notes from the original CD booklet, together with Arthur’s lyrics.

Another Thought is absolutely essential for even the most casual Arthur Russell collection. In fact it’s essential for any fan of non-obvious pop music.
