Description

Scientific Americans "Beyond Rational Thought" 7" issued by Tekno Tunes (LES 020) in USA, 1979. Rare insert included. ****** Rec:m- Cov:ex****** "Beyond Rational Thought" 7" EP by the Scientific Americans, privately released on their Tekno Tunes label in 1979. Formed in the late 1970's in Amherst, Massachusetts, the Sci Ams existed in numerous incarnations up until their dissolution in early 1983. Over the course of their existence, in addition to this 7", they released a 10" flexi EP entitled "Beyond Fiscal Distress" (also on Tekno) in 1980; the "Some Dumb Fucks" cassette in 1981, each featuring a handmade cover by member Sean "Alias" Elias; the "Load and Go" cassette on ROIR; and contributed to compilations on both Ladd-Frith (Psyclones, Blackhouse) and Ding Dong Tapes (Bene Gesserit, The Legendary Pink Dots, Van Kaye & Ignit) from Holland. This is the band's first release, recorded as a five-piece.  The record sleeve credits members as Ricky Ritardando, Luthor, Mr. Big, Crank, and Al Capella and features a giant "Sci Ams Man" boldly in black on the front, a logo that would grace all of their releases and merchandise in some form. "Beyond Rational Thought" differs in sound from their later more stripped-down, drum machine/synth-driven material the band became better known for. Generally, it's quirky punk-wave with synth flourishes and a few odd touches. Also, on this record is the first appearance of their cover of "Epp Opp Ork" from the Jetson's television show (a song that was later remixed for the Ding Dong compilation and even remixed into a dub version for an OP Magazine flexi). ****** Please wait to receive my invoice before sending the payment after the auction ends. Attention! Real postage costs are not USD 4 as all the items are located in Doha, Qatar (which has a very safe and professional post system + costs less than shipping from Europe). Postage costs registered for one 7" single: to Europe is USD 13,00 / to USA and Japan is USD 15,50 / to Oceania is USD 17,00. ****** More ebay auctions of ultra rare LP and K7 editions in the coming weeks.
