The Fire Escape
GNP Crescendo C-1 / 1967 / USA
Talk Talk
96 Tears
This is a truly rare piece from this enigmatic group from the USA. I was unable
to find information regarding this specific 45-rpm on the GNP Crescendo label.
I didn't even see any images or references on the web (with this particular
tracklist), no entries on Cogs, or anywhere else. The A-side opens with a superb
version of The Music Machine's "Talk Talk", coupled with "96 Tears". The label
looks somewhat unusual, it does not have an usual (GNP Crescendo) catalog
number (it reads "C-1" only). Maybe it was a limited pressing (a kind of prototype
- who knows) and was never commercially released to the public. The matrix
numbers are: A-side: CRESC - CIF-1F / B-side: CRESC - C-1-2F.
Soundclip(s):
A - clyp.it/c50gmmpn
B - clyp.it/mir0nwv1
Record:
A-side: G+(+) to VG (It has a certain amount of noticeable light scuff marks,
NO bad scratches and/or any other flaws to mention).
B-side: Idem (Plus a couple of non-feelable light surface marks)
The A-side has small writing.
I included recordings from the entire songs to avoid disappointments
(w/ no filters or EQs).
Sleeve: N/A, it comes housed in a plain white sleeve.
