"In 1980, Genesis P-Orridge and Peter Christopherson traveled to the New York City apartment of famed beat writer William S. Burroughs to start the daunting task of compiling his experimental sound works (which up until that point had never been heard by the general public).During these visits, Burroughs would play back tapes of his spoken word “cut-ups”, collage field recordings, and flirtations with E.V.P. techniques. Throughout the next year, P-Orridge and Christopherson would spend countless hours editing these various sounds, which showcased Burroughs' sensitive ear and keen prowess for audio anomaly.
By the time 1981 came through, Burroughs had relocated to Lawrence Kansas to escape the violence and mania of New York City life. It was in Lawrence that P-Orridge and Christopherson put the finishing touches on the LP that would be known as “Nothing Here Now But The Recordings”. The album would come out in the Spring of 1981 as the final release for the shuttering Industrial Records." --Edited from Dais 2015
