Greetings all:

Please let me introduce myself and my new record label.  Medical Records is based in Seattle, WA and will be primarily focused on making available lost gems of new wave, rare italo/cosmic disco, and rare synth classics including long out of print records in the Krautrock, progressive, and other unclassifiable synth genres.

The first two releases (MR001 and MR002) will be released in roughly one weeks time, and I am now officially taking preorders.  Both releases are limited to 500 copies of heavyweight 180gm vinyl, colored wax, and hand numbered.

Here are the details:

MR001 - Deutsche Wertarbeit - “S/T” LP

Fantastic and long out of print solo project of Dorothea Raukes.  Dorothea was the ex-singer in of the famous German progressive,krautrock band Streetmark (founded 1968 in Düsseldorf and released 4 LP between 1976-1981).  Dorothea Raukes was one of the few female characters of German progressive rock scene.  LP was previously released by Sky Records in 1981.  The LP is instrumental and reminiscent of a style similar to other classic late 1970’s synth pioneers (Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Wolfgang Riechmann, etc.).  LP is released on high-quality 180gram red vinyl in a limited edition of 500 (individually numbered).  The LP consists of 6 beautiful synth tracks and will be certain to appeal of fans of the above mentioned artists or any fans of early minimal wave, synth soundtrack, or other lost classics from the era of late 1970s/early 1980s.

MR002 - Alexander Robotnick - “Ce N’est Qu’un Début” LP

Alexander Robotnick (aka Maurizio Dami) is an Italian electronic musician. He made his debut on the Italian music scene as the founding member of Avida, a dance-cabaret band featuring Daniele Trambusti and Stefano Fuochi.
In 1983 he attained international popularity with his track “Problèmes d’amour”, published first by the Italian label Materiali Sonori and then by Sire-Wea. “Problèmes d’amour” went on to become a “cult track” of the disco scene.  It became quite an import hit in America’s underground club scene, and sparked the mini-LP “Ce N’est Qu’un Début” that same year (originally released on Materiali Sonori in 1984 (Italy).  It consists of 6 captivating tracks including the hit “Problèmes d’amour” as well as the track “Dance boy dance” which has appeared on other cult disco compilations. “Ce N’est Qu’un Début” will appeal to lovers of Italo disco, early new wave, and minimal pop. LP is released on high quality 180 gram blue vinyl in a limited edition of 500 copies (individually numbered).

Both releases are 23 US dollars each.  Please inquire about shipping.

Several other releases are in the works as we speak!

Thanks for your time, and I look forward to the feedback and correspondence.

Sincerely,

Hi, thanks.

I don’t have any confirmed European distros yet, but I am working on it.  Flexx.be said they would likely buy copies, so you can probably get them from them.  I would be happy to ship to you as well.

Troy

Quick update:

The price of both Medical Records releases has been reduced to 21 US dollars each!  This is in part due to an unanticipated decrease in the cost of production.  Enjoy!

P.S. pre-orders have already been contacted and will be refunded the difference ASAP.
