referencing The Groop Played "Space Age Batchelor Pad Music", CD, MiniAlbum, 9 43013-2

More retro-electronica from the 'Lab, with "Ronco Symphony" and the two(!) title tracks the stand-outs. An interesting note for obscurity fanatics is that the design which appears on the label of side two is actually the logo of the 1960s record label that Stereolab "borrowed" their name from.

Incidentally, there are not one but TWO deliberate spelling mistakes in the album title: everyone picks up on "Groop" for "Group" but rather fewer people notice the extra T in "Batchelor" (sic).
