William Burroughs – Opens Fire, a bootleg of Burroughs reading recorded on a TDK D60 cassette. The first side of the cassette notes readings from Nova Express, and the second side from Cities of the Red Night.

The first side is indeed a set of readings from Nova Express, taken from the LP Call Me Burroughs.

The second side is actually readings from The Wild BoysExterminator!, Ah Pook Is Here, and Cities of the Red Night, taken from the Giorno Poetry Systems LP William S. Burroughs/John Giorno.

Very rare item.
