Description
Here it is... a piece of electronic dance music history. This is the original pressing from 1981. The record has been played only a couple times - I was aware of it's rarity when I purchased it. It is in near mint condition with no scratches, fingerprints or blemishes. There is a price tag scotch-taped to one of the sides of the label which I have not attempted to remove fearing that it may peel part of the original label off (refer to photo). Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Tracklisting:
The catalog number of this release is a nod to the Porsche 928. The song "Sharevari" sings the praises of that car, as well as L'Uomo Vogue, GQ, car cassettes, cigarettes, bread, cheese, fine white wine, and just about everything else Northwest Detroit party boys aspired to in 1981.

historically, this is considered to be the first ever Detroit techno record, released in 1981 a few weks before cybotron's 'alleys of the mind'. Musically, it is a strange but cool mash-up between kraftwerk, italo and robotic new-wave, with a quite minimal and raw production. The guys show a great sense of humour in the voices and lyrics. Slick, excellent record but uber-hard-to-find. Complete story about this song in Dan Sicko's landmark book 'Techno Rebels', the best (only?) book about the history of Detroit techno.
