Description
Those who know this record or have heard of it are probably beside themselves to see this on Ebay as it's ludicrously rare. Those who don't will want to hear this charming, amazing and simply weird record of synth-pop that sounds like a mix of Fad Gadget and Soft Cell but kinda lo-fi and dirty with a sullen Andy McCluskey-type on vocals. He even mixes some rockabilly guitar kinda like Electronicat into one of the five perplexing electro pop cuts here. A shame this never got signed to a larger label, this 5-song EP with a pressing of 500 with fewer circulated is the only known document of this Winnipeg, Canada project from 1983 released on local (possibly their own) Classified Records. A sealed copy of this record went for almost $700 US in September here while a VG copy went for $400 in August. Other than combing every inch of every flea market and used record store in Midwest Canada, I can't imagine where else you'd find this. I would rate the cover and record EX+/EX by Goldmine status. I am starting it low to dictate what you'd like to pay and will not end the auction regardless of offer. Airmail shipping is $6 to Canada, $7 to US, $11 Worldwide. Courier if requested will be exact price anywhere in the world. Buy more records to save on shipping! Insurance or Courier will be marginally extra and recommended. Payment must be made by paypal or wire transfer to my bank account within 7 days of auctions end.
Favourite my listings as there will be more crazy electronic music of all types from throughout the years from Pierre Henry to Pierre Perpall on sale from time to time. We're just getting started kids!
On Jan-22-07 at 05:25:04 PST, seller added the following information:PLEASE NOTE:THIS IS A RELISTING OF AN AUCTION THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO END SUNDAY, JANUARY 21. I WAS SENT A SPOOF EMAIL INQUIRING ABOUT AN AUDIOLAB DAC THAT I WAS SELLING. THE SENDER GAINED ACCESS TO MY ACCOUNT FROM THE EMAIL HE SENT AND CANCELLED ALL OF THE BIDS FOR THE AUDIOLAB ITEM AND THIS RECORD. THOSE THAT WERE BIDDING ON THE ITEM DID NOT HAVE THEIR ACCOUNTS AFFECTED. ALTHOUGH THE BIDS FOR THIS RECORD WERE QUITE HIGH AND QUITE SERIOUS, I THOUGHT THE ONLY FAIR AND SAFE THING TO DO WAS TO RESTART THE AUCTION EVEN THOUGH I KNOW MANY HARDCORE COLLECTORS WERE WATCHING IT CLOSELY THE PAST 10 DAYS AND WERE HOPING TO WIN IT. MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO PROTECT MYSELF AND YOU FROM SPOOF EMAILS IN THE FUTURE SO PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE ON THIS AMAZING AND RARE RECORD. DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OFFERS TO BUY THIS RECORD OUTSIDE OF THIS AUCTION THAT MAY HAVE BEEN SENT TO YOU LAST NIGHT BEFORE MIDNIGHT EST (JANUARY 21/22) FROM MY ACCOUNT. SORRY FOR THE DELAY. AS A SERIOUS RECORD COLLECTOR MYSELF, NO ONE IS MORE AGGRAVATED ABOUT THIS OCCURENCE THAN I AM. THX PLIKESTECHNO
