Meco - Star Wars and Other Galatic Funk

In anticipation for the new Star Wars film that will most likely suck, we take a trip back to 1977 when Star Wars was awesome and people made 15 minute long disco songs based on it. This is a rip of the entire first side, the track list is below.

Everything about this record is a trip. Obviously the music is awesome but the cover does wonders too. You gotta love the two pretty run-of-the-mill 70's astronauts bumping asses, presumably on the roof of some anonymous utopian metropolis. The liner notes are pretty funny too. It lists all the musicians from the "CorMar Galaxy" including the "Clomatron" player. The thank you messege from Meco is pretty tongue-in-cheek as well.

The logistics of teleporting all the musicians from their home planets, the Translating Computers, the Laser Engergisers and the Photron System courtesy of TELE-CON Ptz 88.4 (Earth Rep: Tony Blancca). I wish to acknoledge the unfailing cooperation of the Galatic Council, in particular: Neil Bogart, Irv Biegel and Jimmy Lenner

Worn Copy: Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood - Summer Wine

Occasionally, Found Vinyl will feature a recording that has suffered from bad care from their previous owner and from the staff of the thrift store. Although these recordings may not sound the way they were originally intended, the damage suffered to the recording has left a unique thumbprint that will never be reproduced. I recognize that transferring these recordings to a digital format compromises the integrity of that "thumbprint" but hopefully the versions posted on Found Vinyl will do some justice. Thanks and keep on listening.
