Description

Orlando Futurock, Lunacy b/w Future School, on Futurock 001 in strong VG to VG+ shape, full shine and plays superbly.  Weird, wild, and great, the A-side (Lunacy) is a complete blast with a terrific extended guitar solo.  The first 2:00 of it is included in the clip below, up to the point where there's a false ending.  The B-side (Future School) is, fittingly, a little less crazed, with more bonehead-style licks, but still an inventive bit of rock and roll weirdness.  Production was handled by John Jaszcz, who is best known for his work with Parliament-Funkadelic.  This disk is from Detroit in 1982, and it is insanely rare.  The only mention of it on the entire internet is in a short Detroit Free Press review from April of 1983. (Note that this review is my source for calling the band "Orlando Futurock," but the band may actually just be called Orlando, and the label may be Futurock.  Or the other way around, it's hard to tell, though the catalog number begins with the letters FR.) I've been hunting records in and around Detroit since before this 45 was released, and I've never seen or heard of another copy. Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com  

Grading

MINT-  Perfect or virtually perfect.  

VG+ Light marks, full shine, great looking record

VG  Still fairly shiny but clearly a used record, light scratches, will play well but with some surface noise

VG-  Played or used more heavily, lots of scratches, more pronounced surface noise, but still plays through okay

G  Rough record
