Yellow 12″ Vinyl.

Almost 50 years since its original release, the instantly-recognisable
futuristic sound of ‘Pop Corn’ is back on “groovy popcorn yellow vinyl”,
exclusively for Record Store Day 2018!
Originally recorded in 1969 for ‘Music To Moog By’ by Gershon Kingsley and
the Moog, the ground-breaking experimental album was a major influence
on future electronica artists. The newly remastered tracks feature the original
stereo hit single A-side, its non-album B-side plus rare mono mixes prepared
for American AM radio.
Both album and single were released on the pioneering Audio Fidelity label,
famous for releasing the world’s first stereo record in 1957. In 1972, ‘Pop Corn’
was covered by Hot Butter, which featured members of Gershon Kingsley’s
First Moog Quartet band and was a hit all over again, reaching No. 9 on the
American Billboard chart, No.1 in Australia for 8 weeks, No. 1 in Switzerland
for 10 weeks, No. 1 in Norway for 6 weeks, No. 1 in Germany and No. 5 in the
UK. Similar success followed throughout the rest of the world, including France
where it achieved almost 1 million single sales.
Charly Records are proud that ‘Pop Corn’ will launch a whole series of official,
original Audio Fidelity singles and albums, beginning with a replica of the longout-
of-print rarity ‘Music To Moog By’ in June 2018.
