Oh, man. I've got one that's at least blue cheese, if not Limburger: "The
Copper Plated Integrated Circuit" by Walter Sear, 1969. The front cover
describes it as "plugged in pop Presented on the Moog synthesizer and other
Electronic instruments by Sear Electronic Music Productions, Inc."
[capitalization theirs, not mine] Most of the tracks are originals, but
there are covers of "Hey, Jude", "Love Child", "Revolution", and "Where Have
All the Flowers Gone?" As a whole, the album is, um, nearly unlistenable. I
bought it second-hand when I was a teenager and discovering synthesizers.
Fortunately I discovered Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Synergy in
the same second-hand record store.
Walter Sear, whom I believe worked for Moog for awhile, is depicted in a
photograph in front of a double-keyboard modular Moog, with another one to
his left and (I think) a cabinet of two sequencers and some other stuff
between them. He donned a coat and tie for the photo session.
Yes, records are too wide for most scanners. This one would be particularly
difficult because not only is it a gatefold jacket (like a two-record set,
although there's only one disc), but the entire outside is a glossy copper
color that's probably too reflective to scan well.
Needless to say, I treasure this artifact. :-)
