THE MICHIGAN 4
"DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?"
b/w "Midnight Hour"
UK 7" single acetate record 45rpm
HOLY GROUND ENTERPRISES HG112
Condition : -/VG-
(sleeve/media)
Super rare acetate, part of the Holyground / Holy Ground Enterprises limited output... this is an original copy of a record that was only produced in a quantity of four... a lo-fi garage soul sound, rather poor in many respects, and possibly only a vanity pressing, as only 4 copies were ever pressed, one for each member of the group (This was confirmed by Holyground several years ago).
Only one other copy has ever surfaced, which we were lucky enough to have and sold... and has now disappeared on to a top collectors shelves, unlikely to re-appear for many many years.
Our audio/video computer has been down for a few years now, and when it was working we didn't really know what we were doing... but we did post two youtube videos of our first copy of this (which we sold five years ago)... hopefully the clips of this previous record will help those wanting to know what it sounds like...

(I repeat this is not the copy being offered for sale now)
Like the previous copy, this has the MECOLICO stamp on both sides, tax not paid, as this is marked up as a private record... a private press that is virtually impossible to find.
The members of the group are unknown, could be A-Austr between takes, messing about, the number HG112 is a special number that does not relate to the more well known Holyground catalogue system... this pre-dates A-Austr, and pre-dates A-Austr when they were using the name Chief Crazy Horse.
The disc is an acetate, these are not intended for multiple plays, and this copy does have several marks and plays with background noise, clicks and pops... but as this is lo-fi and has that 'being performed in the garage' sound, it feels and sounds as authentic as it really is. ... so please do not expect perfect sound reproduction.
An awesome find, and one of the rarest records produced and pressed by Holy Ground Enterprises... a holy grail that you were probably totally unaware of.
