Crowley, Aleister. THE TANGO SONG.
Thame, UK: Mandrake Press Limited, 1992. Hand numbered original FIRST EDITION, being number #89 of 125 copies only.
The TANGO is a short play originally published in the EQUINOX, No. 9. and includes THE TANGO SONG (words by Crowley & music by Bernard Page). The sheet music for this song, referred to in a footnote, was thought to have remained unpublished and lost. Neither Yorke or Fuller made note of the item and none of the major Crowley collections throughout the world has a copy. In 1991, a copy was discovered. While Crowley wrote many songs during his life, THE TANGO SONG is unique in being the only one of his songs to be published. THE TANGO SONG and THE TANGO, a 16 page booklet printed on hand-made paper. Letter of provenance available as to authenticity of Mandrake printing.
