PET SHOP BOYS
DISCO 1986
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN AN ULTRA RARE AND QUITE PROBABLY UNIQUE PIECE OF PET SHOP BOYS RECORDING MEMORABILIA
IT IS A 14” ‘MOTHER’ METAL STAMPER FROM ABBEY ROAD FOR SIDE 1 OF THEIR 1986 ALBUM RELEASE ‘DISCO’
A VINYL STAMPER HAS A REVERSE IMAGE OF THE PLAYING SURFACE AND THESE ARE CREATED FROM ‘MOTHERS’ WHICH ARE METAL VERSIONS OF THE ACTUAL RECORD. MAYBE THIS IS THE ONLY SURVIVING ONE IN EXISTENCE ESPECIALLY AS THEY WERE OFTEN DESTROYED ONCE THE COMMERCIAL RELEASE WAS PRESSED.
UNLIKE THE STAMPER, THE ‘MOTHER’ HAS GROOVES AND CAN BE PLAYED LIKE NORMAL VINYL ALTHOUGH I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND YOU PLAY IT OFTEN OTHERWISE YOUR STYLUS ISN’T GOING TO LAST VERY LONG!
USUALLY, A MAXIMUM OF 6 VINYL STAMPERS ARE CREATED FROM A SINGLE MOTHER AND HERE WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE METAL MOTHERS.
IT’S HARD ENOUGH TO FIND AN ACETATE OF THIS LET ALONE THE MOTHER THAT MADE A VINYL STAMPER!
I HAVE PLAYED IT AND IT IS SIDE 1 OF THE ALBUM WITH THE TRACKLISTING AS FOLLOWS:
1. IN THE NIGHT (Arthur Baker's Extended mix) [6:28]
2. SUBURBIA (Julian Mendelssohn's Full Horror mix) [8:56]
3. OPPORTUNITIES (LET’S MAKE LOTS OF MONEY) (Ron Dean Miller and Latin Rascals Version Latina) [5:34]
BELOW IS AN EXTRACT TAKEN FROM WIKIPEDIA:
____________
‘Disco is the second album by the UK electronic music group Pet Shop Boys. It was released by Parlophone on November 17, 1986 (1986-11-17).
Disco was not an original studio album, but rather a collection of remixes of tracks from their first album, Please, and its respective B-sides. Many fans of 1980s synthpop view the mixes on this album as some of the best examples of the extended dance mix, and this album includes remixes by Arthur Baker, Shep Pettibone and Pet Shop Boys themselves’.
____________
THE SOUND QUALITY IS GOOD WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS.
THE SURFACE LOOKS TO BE MADE OF COPPER WITH NO IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS AT ALL ON THE FRONT. THERE ARE NO MATRIX NUMBERS IN THE RUN OUT GROOVES.
THE BACK IS SILVER COLOURED WITH ‘9-7-86’, ‘B33’ AND ‘7” ONLY’ WRITTEN IN BLUE MARKER PEN.
FOR SOME REASON A BLANK ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS LABEL HAS BEEN FIXED TO THE PLATE WITH THE NAME ‘F HENNESSEY’ WRITTEN ON IT ALTHOUGH AFTER EXTENSIVE INTERNET SEARCHES I CANNOT FIND ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN ‘THE PET SHOP BOYS’ AND AN ‘F HENNESSEY’.
THIS THING IS HEAVY WEIGHING IN AT 26oz (725g) SO THE POSTAGE & PACKING COSTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
£7.00 UK
£14.00 REST OF THE WORLD
