Description:
I received this radio promotional copy when I worked in radio. These were not available to the public and generally had pressings in the hundreds, so there are relatively few of them in existence.
Never played any and they have been stored away for over 30 years with lots of other unplayed vinyl I held onto. The record is mint.

About the song: Astronomy Domine was originally written and performed by Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett. Full of mystery and flickering intensity, "Astronomy Domine" is one of the finest moments of Pink Floyd. Arguably the first-ever space-rock song, the opening track of the band’s debut 1967 Piper At The Gates Of Dawn album pulled the listener into a darker place than the flower power visions of the time.
Some say that the song was the birth of space rock and, whilst it leaves some pretty upfront clues for this in its lyrics, it perhaps stretches out to a much higher state than that. The Latin title translates as "an astral chant to the Lord" as it reaches out to the gods in one of those beautiful acid-drenched moments when nature, life, god and the mysteries of space all connect and make sense and the beauty of darkness and the emptiness of everything combine into one white heat whole.
Voi Vod chose this unconventional song to cover on their 1989 LP Nothingface the fifth studio album by Canadian heavy metal band Voivod. It was released by Mechanic/MCA Records on October 13, 1989. The album marked a change for the band, expanding their music and exploring more progressive sounds.
The Unknown Knows is the first song from the album.
This is vey hard to find on vinyl.
