Earle Brown’s legendary Contemporary Sound Series was recorded between 1960 and 1973: the original 18 LPs have been highly sought-after in the secondary market since 1978 when they were discontinued. These rare and historically important recordings of international avant-garde music have been carefully digitised and remastered by the Earle Brown Music Foundation. The series presents the extraordinary world of contemporary and avant-garde music that flourished in Europe, the United States, Latin America and Japan in the 1960s and early 1970s.

Each set contains three CDs in jewel boxes including the original liner notes and cover. In addition there is small catalogue/booklet with an essay "Earle Brown's Contemporary Sound Series" in English, German and French, as well as information about the remaining releases.
