it's true. and the reissue 2xLP is available on the secondhand market for under ten dollars !
LAFMS is pretty spotty stuff. They've been very good at mythologizing themselves. Some of it's wondrously good.
although i'm far from hearing their entire recorded output, this is pretty much the impression i have, especially listening to the "blorp essette" 4xCD comp just now. some of it is really good, some of it is fine.

kinda related, but this single from 82 by the band Stillife is amazing – great Can rip a-side (Rubrica)...

and a great Glass/Reich-lite piece on the b-side (sounds eerily like Keith Fullerton Whitman circa Multiples)

I'm seeing on the LAFMS facebook page that Ace Farren Ford of the Los Angeles Free Music Society scene has passed away.
