2010, Important Records
When Important originally released this set, it was met with instant acclaim and a lengthy, nationally broadcast feature on NPR. Restored, sequenced, and mastered by producer Jack Dangers, Wide Weird World is a tribute that seamlessly blends Jacobs' early loop experiments, goof interviews, rare 45s from his MEA imprint, sound effects, and much more. The companion DVD, The Fine Art of Goofing Off, contains three half-hour programs that artist Bob McClay and Henry Jacobs collaborated on in the early 1970s. Contributors include artist Victor Moscoso, filmmaker Jordan Belson, theologian Alan Watts, and writer George Leonard. Bob McClay saved these films from the dustbin, and the world is richer for it.
