Description
You are bidding on an extremely rare EP by the synth-pop band Q, who later became SSQ, then Stacey Q (who had the worldwide hit "Two of Hearts”).
The EP is made of a beautiful red vinyl and has four tracks on it (see below). Even better, the record comes with the even-more rare press kit for the band Q, which consists of four pages, featuring a photo of Stacey Swain decked out in fur and a photo of the band inside.
The EP's tracks include:
A1 Playback Written-By – Van Patten*, St. James* 3:20 A2 Video Girl Written-By – Van Patten*, St. James* 2:57 B1 Music's Gone Written-By – St. James* 3:00 B2 Sushi Written-By – Van Tongeren*, St. James*
Q was a small American techno band, formed in 1982 by Jon St. James and Stacey Swain. Ross Wood was also a group member, and John Van Tongeren was involved as well. The group only had two releases: a 7" single of their song "Playback" on Cocteau Records, and a four-track EP released almost exclusively to college radio stations that has become known among fans as The Q EP. Only 1,000 copies were printed of the EP, and it is considered highly collectable.
Swain and St. James (along with Van Tongeren) formed SSQ shortly after the release of Q's EP, and they went on to release one album, Playback, as well as a couple of singles over the next two years.
The same lineup of musicians, with Swain and St. James still at the core, would eventually achieve commercial success under the name Stacey Q.
Only a limited number of these EPs were printed. The record has never been played and is in mint condition.
