HERE'S ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER ELECTRONIC/EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC LPs FROM 1971 ON THE UK PRESSED BERRY LABEL.SON 2.

"SOUNDS OF NOW"-VOLUME 2.COMPOSED BY ERIC SIDAY-BEST KNOWN FOR HIS COMPOSITION TV THEME"OUT OF THIS WORLD"WHICH WAS A MINOR HIT FOR THE TONY HATCH ORCHESTRA IN 1962 BUT SIDAY WAS ALSO AN EARLY PIONEER IN THE USE OF THE MOOG-LOOK ON WIKIPEDIA AND SEE!. A STEREO LP OF SHORT TRACKS DESIGNED FOR USE IN COMMERCIALS OR DJ PRESENTATION NOISES!  ALSO KNOWN AS"LIBRARY MUSIC"MADE FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF RADIO,TV AND FILM COMPANIES UNDER SPECIAL LICENCE AND NOT MADE AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

THESE TRACKS FEATURE ELECTRONIC SOUNDS-A FEW HAVING REAL INSTRUMENTS ADDED SUCH AS KEYBOARDS-RECORDERS AND DRUMS BUT THE MAJORITY ARE THE OLDER STYLE OF ELECTRONICS NOT UNLIKE THE EARLY BBC RADIOPHONIC WORKSHOP.SOME ARE EVEN IN THE KRAUTROCK/KRAFTWERK STYLE-THE LONGEST TRACK"POWERPLAY"WHICH RUNS FOR JUST UNDER 2 MINUTES AND THE NEXT TRACK,THE SLIGHTLY SHORTER(1:28 LENGTH)"SWING SYNTHESIS" SOUND VERY,VERY SIMILAR TO KRAFTWERK'S "AUTOBAHN"!!!  THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR A DJ MIXER/SAMPLER OR RECORD PRODUCER LOOKING FOR THAT UNUSUAL SOUND! AMONGST THE TRACKS IS ONE THE EX-BBC RADIO 1 DJ DAVE LEE TRAVIS USED IN A JINGLE THAT ENDED IN HIM SINGING IN AN OLD MAN'S TYPE VOICE-"WE'LL PLAY AN OLDIE JUST FOR YOU". THERE ARE SOME NOISES I AM SURE DJ KENNY EVERETT USED IN HIS RADIO SHOWS.

THEY MAKE FOR FASCINATING LISTENING AND THIS IS ONLY THE 2ND COPY OF THIS LP I HAVE EVER FOUND IN OVER 40 YEARS OF COLLECTING THESE ELUSIVE NON-COMMERCIAL DISCS!

   NEAR MINT CONDITION!  GLEAMING SURFACES!THIS COPY HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED AND WAS PRESSED IN A TINY QUANTITY OF PROBABLY LESS THAN 500 COPIES,MAYBE AS FEW AS 100-BERRY MUSIC WAS A VERY SHORT LIVED LABEL WITH MOST COLLECTORS OF LIBRARY DISCS NEVER HAVING SEEN ONE!

THE MAJORITY ENDED UP IN THE LIBRARIES OF RADIO AND TV STUDIOS AND FILM COMPANIES!

IN MORE RECENT TIMES,HARDLY ANY COPIES HAVE BEEN RETAINED BY SUCH SOURCES,WHAT WITH THE SWITCH TO CD AND DOWNLOADING.

EACH TRACK HAS IT'S TIMING AND TITLE.

MOST COPIES ARE NOW IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS AND THEY VERY RARELY TURN UP ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!

THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.JUST A FEW TINY CREASES.THE SAME DESIGN BOTH SIDES.
