This expanded reissue of the original 1982 LP Prototype  (Short Circuit Records) comes with additional recordings made in 1985. This is the subscribers edition with bonus 1982 demo 7" limited to 250 handnumbered copies. An amazing double record set containing the music of EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTS. If you are a long time collector of 80s indie minimal synth looking to fill out your catalog or a novice interested in starting one up, there is no better place to start than with EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTS. A synth duo from Philadelphia/Northern Delaware USA, members Mark Wilde and Michael Gross produced 8-track gear recordings, then had their music pressed to vinyl. In 1984 they released the 3 song 12" EP "Glowing in the Dark", 2000 copies. "Glowing" proved irresistible to DJs and became a 1985 dance club chart breakthrough. Today, many DJs and collectors consider it a "classic" synth record. 2 years before "Glowing" they released a 10 song vinyl LP titled "PROTOTYPE", 300 copies. PROTOTYPE remained an obscure record until minimal synth collectors caught wind of it in the late 90s. PROTOTYPE became a high priced bidding item whenever the rare vinyl showed up on E-Bay. It seems EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTS had again produced what many collectors consider a "classic" 80s minimal synth record. VOD is now pleased to announce the re-issue of PROTOTYPE to high quality vinyl. Re-mastered by VOD from the original 1/4" master tapes, this re-issue has improved sonic quality not found on the original 1982 pressings. GARAGE TRACKS, LP-2 of the EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTS record set will hopefully become yet another classic piece of synthesizer vinyl. GARAGE TRACKS side-A contains 5 unreleased songs from 1985, all synth-drum machine, again produced with 8-track gear this time in a band spare bedroom. GARAGE TRACKS side-B contains six songs from a 1983 LIVE performance.
