This wonderful recording is a significant one.

Music for Journalists II is the earliest known appearance of the infamous "bleeping" element of Frippertronics. Perhaps this is where he picked up the on/off switch that he used subsequently or he may have initially utilized his Les Paul guitar pickup toggle switch to achieve this effect.

I believe that prior to this date, there was only droned notes or quickly swept in notes via volume pedal.
