Description

This Brand New re-issue (which was released on 30th October 2020) is now in stock and ready to ship. There were only 300 Worldwide pressings made on this exclusive Red, Blue & Clear Splatter 12” vinyl. 
Please note that image 1 is an illustration only showing what the vinyl pattern may look like although no two records will look the same so please be aware that the look of the actual vinyl may be completely different to that illustrated.
 Photographs 2 & 3 are of the actual item for sale which is still sealed.
The original album from 1974 now sells for well over £300 in good condition on Discogs and there is no reason to think that this re-issue will only continue to increase in value due to its rarity.
This is an exclusive pressing, limited to 300 copies worldwide. The highly sought-after 1974 album, Tchip. Tchip (Vol. 3), featuring one of the best Moog synthesiser tracks to have ever been recorded, 'Skylab', for the first time on colour vinyl.

In the early-to-mid 1970s, Belgian recording engineer and synthesist Daniel Lacksman née Lanckmans recorded and released a series of pop music records, using early analog synthesizers as a central sonic element. Under an admittedly confusing array of names, Lacksman (who later founded the group Telex) created music that was equal parts innovation and ear-candy accessibility. Those often happy-go-lucky records gained some popularity throughout Europe, but their lasting influence can be heard in the music of Portishead, Massive Attack, The Moog Cookbook, and Air, not to mention among the lengthy list of 21st century artists who have sampled these recordings.

A casual survey online quickly reveals that these records are among the most collectible of their kind, with original copies commanding hundreds of pounds. None of Lacksman's records, however, are quite as collectible as the one he recorded in 1974 under the name Electronic System, Tchip Tchip (Vol. 3). While much of side one Tchip Tchip presents the composer's signature blend of synthesizer kitsch and boundary-breaking creativity, ranging from the oom-pah sound of the title track to the wacky 'Spider,' almost all of side two is devoted to the 14-minute 'Sky Lab,' which sounds like it came right off an Air record recorded 25 years later, with maybe a little Dark Side-era Pink Floyd thrown in. A true marvel, this track is why original copies of Tchip Tchip are downright unaffordable - it's not to be missed.
