Dream House 78' 17&quot; Originally released by the French label Shandar with the catalog number Shandar 83.510 and never re-released on CD, Dream House 78' 17" is one of the very few recordings ever made by minimalist composer La Monte Young, in this case together with his long-time companion Marian Zazeela and his group the Theatre of Eternal Music. The 78' 17" in the title consists of the duration of the record measured in minutes and seconds. This length, almost double what was then normal, was extremely unusual in its time. Young in the sleeve notes says that "Time is so important to the experiencing and understanding of the music in the record that every effort was made to make the record last as much as the original master tapes". Young thanks Mr. Michel Blancvillain who made it technically possible.
