Chris and Cosey, John Lacey: Elemental 7 Soundtrack

This is a rare vinyl record released on Cabaret Voltaire’s Doublevision label back in the 80s. The soundtrack to a Doublevision video of the same name, Elemental 7 features Chris and Cosey and John Lacey performing as CTI, Creative Technology Institute.

Lots of analog synth action going on here, with dialog and other vocal sampling going on with tracks like Meeting Mr. Evans. The music won’t shock fans of Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Coil, and the likes, but for me, the real draw for this record is in both its cross-pollenation with Cabaret Voltaire and the fact that it’s for intents and purposes an archive of material that no longer exists.

The masters for this release have since been destroyed due to poor storage. The sounds were saved from oblivion at the last moment for a CD reissue of a set of projects on Conspiracy International, but this album is the OG release–an artifact of original multi-track tapes that have given up the ghost.

Check out this sample from the album. “Meeting Mr. Evans” is definitely something I would have been attracted to then, and still am now. I’ve always had a soft spot for this sort of thing, which is why anything released on Doublevision has my full attention–even when it’s not that great overall, there’s still a certain quality about the material that keeps me coming back for more.

(and yes, I do have a copy of Elemental 7: The Original Soundtrack for sale on Etsy.com, for FAR CHEAPER than it is selling from other people on places like Discogs.com where this record is listed for upwards of $70 or more. Yowza.)

Rare Vinyl Finds For Sale

Here are some of the latest new arrivals to the Turntabling collection for sale. All vinyl is in Very Good condition at a minimum.

The Golden Voyage of Sinbad soundtrack–this is the soundtrack LP from the film starring John Phillip Law of Diabolik fame, plus the one and only Tom Baker! The soundtrack was by Miklos Rozsa and is a very tasty find–especially for the cover art. Very nice indeed! A fabulous rare vinyl find for $20 plus shipping.






Sid Vicious and Eddie Cochran on one record? Yes–the McDonald Brothers Company presents “A World Title Contest Over Eight Rounds” on Sid Vicious Vs. Eddie Cochran, a vinyl LP that features Eddie Cochran originals and Sid Vicious covers of them– a fascinating artifact of the original punk era. This also includes Sid’s version of Search and Destroy and My Way, plus Eddie Cochran singing the classic C’Mon Everybody, Somethin’ Else, and Weekend. Can you really say no? $20 plus shipping and it’s yours, a piece of history!






Here’s an insanely rare find–Leonard Nimoy reading Ray Bradbury. The Illustrated Man is a classic all by itself, but to have Nimoy giving it the treatment is a rare thing indeed. This will NOT last long–there are plenty of lit geeks like me out there all too eager to own something this unique. $30 plus shipping for this title owing to its scarcity, naturally. Trust me, this is MUCH more expensive at conventions…
