Not since the Dutch went mad over tulips and bankrupted the country has anything like this gone down in the Low Countries . Halifax electro pioneer Phollop Willing is finally getting the recognition he's deserved since the time he walked into the Brunswick Street Church on a sunday in 1982 and asked nobody in particular , " Has anybody heard the new Michael Oldfield album ?". We knew then and there it was only a matter of time .
Good on ya Phil !
up for auction here is the "orphan baby" 7" by canada's PHOLLOP WILLING this track is a great electro punk song! listed this a little over a year ago at $75.00 starting bid & it ended with no bids because nobody had heard it before.i can now (finally) add sound samples so here we go again.have yourself a listen to a partial sound sample below.a friend from seattle that runs a record shop there was visting here a year ago & i played this for him,he was so positive about this that he said "don't sell for less than $275.00!" well,i'm starting this at my usual $9.99.have a listen & make up your mind what it's worth to you.b-side (sea cruise blues) is something totally different.since i tried to sell this i have'nt seen one offered,this is a VERY rare super limited private pressing so i advise if you have the interest to take your chance now!this was released on NERVE RECORDS (SR66) in canada back in 1981.cover is just 2 zeroxed pages back to back,this came that way originally.cover has a slight corner bend so i'd call it EX-. wax on "orphan baby" is EX.there's one slightly audible tic that you can hear on sound sample about 20 secs into the song. b-side is EX- due to storage marks (not surface marks) that do not affect play.payment with PAYPAL only.thanks for l@@king & good luck on what i call a demented,infectious,electro punk-dark wave classic.this should be on a compilation for sure.
don't be shy with early bids on this one because if not enough interest is shown i may end auction just before the last 12 hours of it's listing & then wait over a year again to re-list.not in a big hurry to sell this one.
