	CURVED AIR The Roland RE-201 Space Echo (From the private collection of Florian Pilkington-Miksa, aka the engine room & drummer extraordinaire for the pioneering British Prog-Rockers, comes this legendary feat of engineering - the original 1974 Japanese RE-201 Roland Space Echo - the very device that was used by their guitarist Francis Monkman on the band's reunion tour in December 1974, & which spawned the magnificent 1975 "Live" LP. This was the most cutting edge & sop Tracklisting: histicated portable tape echo device on the market at the time. It is built like a tank, seemingly beamed down from space, but easy to transport & both reliable & roadworthy unlike any tape reverb/delay before it. It remains in fully working order & comes complete with a letter signed & dated by Florian which also fully verifies its history with the group. Also included is an original first press of the 1975 7-track vinyl LP in Excellent condition, where you can hear this magical unit recorded live at Cardiff University & Bristol Polytechnic in December '74 in all its futuristic glory. See 'more info' for further details...)��Brief History The Roland RE-201 Space Echo was a combination tape echo effect and built-in spring reverb, with different sound variations selectable via 12 different operating modes. The device records incoming audio to a loop of magnetic tape, then replays the audio over a series of several playback heads before it is erased again by new incoming audio, with infinite possibilities in sound. Measuring 11.5" in length, 15.5" in width & 6.5" deep, it comes with multiple instrument & mic inputs with EQ settings, tape speed variables & volume levels - this is one fancy Dr. Who looking piece of kit that will have you inspired for hours on end! It was not just Curved Air that pioneered this legendary echo/delay unit. It helped Pink Floyd take their music into the stratosphere likewise, it helped Robert Fripp/Brian Eno realise their dreams, Conny Plank or any German Prog/Psych band of the period you can bet had one of these, Radiohead used it extensively on OK Computer [that noise loop at the end of Karma Police]... its legacy continues to reverberate through the music business to this day, with Boss recently re-packaging the device as a foot pedal. The case is in vintage Rock N Roll condition, with light signs of scuffing around the edges from handling on the road back in the day. It has not toured since the seventies & remains in full working order, with the UK mains lead tucked inside the box & the silver serial number sticker on the back. The front plate & knobs are near 'as new' & the original instruction sheet remains pasted on the inside lid. Lifting the hinged lid on top exposes the heart of the machine, its tape transport system. Inside there is a record head, three separate playback heads, and a variable speed motor. The single tape loop spools freely into a tape chamber, with a plastic cover over the top to protect the tape in full working order. The letter is signed & dated by Curved Air's drummer, Florian Pilkington-Miksa, acknowledging: �This Roland Space Echo RE-201 was used by Francis Monkman on the Curved Air Live album first released by BTM Records in 1975.� Francis Monkman was a founding member of Curved Air. He played on the first three albums, leaving after the release of Phantasmagoria (1972) and returning briefly for the tour which resulted in the release of the wonderful album Live (1975). The Live album is where the RE-201, fresh from its '74 release, gets its debut airing. Both the picture sleeve & vinyl for the "Live" LP remain in Excellent condition, with few signs of wear or play. The album showcases Francis' early experiments with the device in a live band setting, much of which is pulled off with aplomb. After the album, Francis went on to work with Elton John, Sky, Al Stewart, Renaissance, as well as Phil Manzanera & Brian Eno on the project 801. In 1978, he switched instruments & played all keyboards on Brian Bennett's cosmic masterpiece, Voyage (A Journey Into Discoid Funk)! But the echo unit has remained with Florian ever since. We cannot recommend this item highly enough, not only as an astonishing & creative tool for anyone interested in sound, but for its impeccable history as part of the musical punch & �Progressive� elements that were such a vital part of the Curved Air sound of the mid seventies. Here was a group forever pushing the envelope & breaking new ground & this device was one of the secret weapons in their artillery. A treasure to behold, this is one of the all-time must own devices for any guitar cosmonaut or right-minded producer looking to create classic Space Echo sci-fi sound effects on the fly. Beam me up scotty, indeed!
	CURVED AIR Air Cut (Rare original 1973 UK Warner Bros green label issue 8-track vinyl LP, full colour gatefold picture sleeve. The sleeve shows only faint shelfwear and the vinyl is a stunning near MINT, with barely discernible spindle wear on the labels indicating VERY little play - nice! K46224) Tracklisting: 1. The Purple Speed Queen 2. Elfin Boy 3. Metamorphosis 4. World 5. Armin 6. U.H.F. 7. Two-Three Two 8. Easy
	CURVED AIR Back Street Luv (1971 UK 7" vinyl single with intact four-prong centre, also including Everdance. The vinyl has light signs of play but remains in excellent condition within a WB company die-cut paper sleeve K16092)
	CURVED AIR Simmons SDS8 Drum Kit (This is a lot of kit. Not flimsy like today's output, but a very solid six piece hexa-pad electronic drum kit, complete with module/mixer and very heavy duty aluminium metal stands & rack. The hexa-pads include a bass drum, three toms, a snare & a spare. Each can be configured through the module/mixer with parameters for volume, pan, click, balance, decay, bend, pitch, filter and sensitivity, as well as sequencer triggering. This kit is supplied with Tracklisting: XLR cannon jack leads for connection to the module & sufficient mounting units to set the toms and snare hexa-pads up on the mounting rack as you'd prefer them. For one of those classic eighties drum sounds, this unit is hard to beat [not literally, of course, as it's designed to be beaten!]. This particular kit comes directly from Curved Air drummer Florian Pilkington-Miksa as a genuine piece of Rock History. The kit has been AUTOGRAPHED by him, both on the back of the module and on one leg of the support rack. If you want to know what it sounds like, it was used on the Curved Air 1990 Alive Album as well as on Francis Monkman's 'Jam' CD. Not only that, but this kit also comes with a letter of provenance from Florian as previous [and only] owner. Condition wise, it's used but well kept and not battered about. It is untested but is believed to still be fully functional. There are a few strips of omnipresent Gaffa that let you know that this kit has been owned by someone who could use it. Rome had its water systems. Musicians have Gaffa. That's just the way it is. No Gaffa anywhere and you would doubt its history. There is no doubt about this. A superb vintage musical instrument and a classic sound of the eighties, directly from the drummer of Curved Air to you!) Complete with hand written letter of provenance from Florian Pilkington-Miksa��Please Note: Shipping is quoted for carriage via Parcelforce.
