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.
