This is a 7" Reel to Reel tape (7 1/2 ips, 1/4 track, 1/4" width) in a special silver box of UNRELEASED music by Chrome (Damon Edge and Helios Creed) titled "Ultra Soundtrack". It contains 7 instrumental songs with a total running time of 32:36. Very weird stuff (but extremely interesting!). The story on this is that Chrome were commissioned by the Mitchell Brothers to compose some music to play in the Ultra Room of their San Francisco strip club (hence the name, Ultra Soundtrack). After hearing the music they thought it was too weird to strip to and it would freak out the customers! They then shopped it around to labels but found no takers. How did I get it? Someone I know worked at an alternative radio station in S.F. in the late 70's and someone from the band stopped in to the station and dropped it off in hopes that they would play it. He didn't know who it was and wasn't really familiar with the band. I don't think he ever played it. It is in perfect condition, having been stored properly all these years. I have recorded it and there is no flaking or breakdown of the tape at all, it is sonically perfect! I'm only guessing that it was made in 1979, that's when he got it but it may have been done a year or two earlier. The tape reel has hand written on it on both sides "Ultra Soundtrack, 7 1/2 ips, 1/4 track, Chrome (Copy on one side)". Thanks to Joe at Staticwhitesound for his help in tracking down the info on this. I couldn't find anything about this item and he finally talked to Helios Creed himself to find out what the hell this was! Don't know how many copies of this are out there but I doubt there are are more than a couple-and who knows if those were taken care of. None have surfaced (besides this one) to my knowledge. Don't even ask if I can send you a copy of this! Super rare, very cool exclusive music by one of my favorite bands! As Ralph Records said on their samplers, BUY OR DIE!
