Everything (R. Stevie Moore album)


Everything You Always Wanted to Know About R. Stevie Moore But Were Afraid to Ask is the third official album by R. Stevie Moore, a double album compilation issued on vinyl in 1984 by New Rose Records of Paris, France. It was the first of four New Rose RSM albums to be released through the 1980s.

Background

It contains Moore's songs and sound experiments from Nashville TN and Montclair NJ sessions, all primarily recorded on 1/4 track 7½ ips reel-to-reel stereo tape decks. The name of the album is a homage to the 1972 movie Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex*. Its title in French is "TOUT CE QUE VOUS AVEZ TOUJOURS VOULU SAVOIR SUR R. STEVIE MOORE ET QUE VOUS N'AVEZ JAMAIS OSER DEMANDER".
Long out of print and never reissued on compact disc, it was reconstructed from original song master tapes for improved fidelity by the artist in 2002. The original vinyl issue had suffered in audio quality from improperly mastered compilation tapes and also by the process of squeezing so much material on each side of the records.
The album was the first R. Stevie Moore release that Ariel Pink heard.
