Description

This is one of the rarest synthpop/new wave records of all time, and one of the holy grails of John Carpenter memorabelia. I'm just going to paste my blog post of this record from about a year ago:
This album will remain a desired curiosity because it is legendary director John Carpenter's band; he is joined by Tommy Lee Wallace (forever known by horror fans as the man who created the incredibly creepy mask worn by Michael Myers in Halloween), and Nick Castle, who actually got to wear that mask as the creepy villain. Further ensuring its status as a rarity is the fact that it was never actually commercially released - it was ONLY given to friends and family. I wonder whose copy I have here?
The cover is VG+ with only very minor shelf wear and a crease on the back; the vinyl is NM with only some paper marks and a very light surface mark on one side that doesn't affect play.
The songs are:
A1 Waiting Out The Eighties
A2 1967
A3 She Has Friends In L.A.
A4 Manhole
A5 Hard On Me
A6 She Doesn't Want You Anymore
B1 Back From The Dead
B2 On My Knees Again
B3 I Really Need You
B4 Hollywood
B5 Darlin' (All Night Long)
B6 Midnight Man


If you want to hear any clips from this record or anything else I'm offering, please contact me via eBay!

I have LOTS and LOTS more records to come! Buy now, buy next week, and the week after that, and after that, and then wait a week, and then buy more!!!


I can ship multiple items at once, of course (for just a little bit more per each additional item). And I can wait to ship items if there are more items you're interested in bidding on! If you win multiple items, please wait for me to send the invoice (so you don't pay too much for shipping).

All records are shipped in secure carboard packages, are well-padded, and ship with the records outside of the sleeves and stored in a plastic outer sleeve to ensure safe delivery in the same condition in which they leave my house.
