Silver Apples – Contact

Comes with a Silver Apples pin and postcard when ordered directly via Rotorelief.
The packaging of the silver-metallic gatefold sleeve is actually pretty amazing. Especially on the inner-gatefold.
The sound quality is very good, not blown away, but not disappointed either.
Highly recommended

Vinyl can be warbly with the different color of vinyl at certain points. I had to replace my first copy when I got it

Hi! Could anyone provide some insight as to how this release/remaster sounds? Much appreciated 🙂

Looking for an OG 1969 Kapp Jacket. Found a VG+ copy that was stored in the jacket of the first LP. If you have an extra please reach out.

This pressing sounds pretty decent - a little flat and bassy, but better than other reissues (specifically looking at that Radioactive bootleg -.-). Silver Apples' masters were apparently destroyed in the Universal archive fire (at least, according to Wikipedia), so I'd like to know the source they used - to me it sounds very clean regardless!

I have a dead rare ITCC International Tape Cartridge Corp 4-track "Silver apples contact sealed" 1969 Kapp 52-3584 (like new). It is not listed here. Update-I listed the tape on discogs and added a couple pictures (not the best pictures).

I got a copy signed by Simeon via Devils Jukebox records webstore in the UK circa 2011. It's not as good as the debut but still an essential album to own.

I've always liked these strange vinyl-transfer CDs. They really cranked up the bass. Thanks WFMU for introducing me to Silver Apples circa 1996 interview with Simeon.

There's no evidence for the claim that Pan-Am sued over the artwork for Contact. Maybe they threatened legal action. Who knows? But I doubt the album was 'withdrawn', as it's not rare.

...this futuristic group never appeared in any rock lexica i knew, but their
second album "contact" (69) still has a hypnotic influence on me today, like
in 1988 when i discovered them through sky bird & the fish of hope. okay,
the vocals may be weak, but this visionary keyboard sound-madness (incl.
funny banjo-gimmicks) predates a whole lot of techno, and silver apples must
be mentioned in the same breath as suicide, velvet underground, soft machine,
hawkwind and white noise...
