再プレス版入荷!!70年代後半、ボストンやサンフランシスコの路上で音楽活動を開始、派手な衣装を身にまといアコーディオンで当時のポップ・ソングを演奏していたThe Space LadyことSusan Dietrich。アコーディオンが盗まれた事をきっかけに当時登場したばかりのカシオ製キーボードとエコーユニットを導入、それによりポピュラー・ソングに新たな側面をもたらし人々の想像力をかき立てる独自のサウンドを確立。初期のストリート・パフォーマンス録音は僅か1つしか残しておらず、本作はその中から選りすぐりの楽曲を厳選し収録したもの。60年代ポップスやサイケデリック・ロックのカバーに加え奇怪なオリジナル曲も収録、貴重なアーカイブ写真や本人によるライナーノーツも掲載。











Finally back in print! 12” black vinyl LP in old school “tip-on” cover with large format
foldout poster insert. One side is the story of the Space Lady in her own words, and the other side is poster/schematic of the Space Lady's busking setup. First pressing 2017, second pressing 2020.

The Space Lady began her odyssey on the streets of Boston and San
Francisco in the late 70s, playing versions of contemporary pop
music on accordion and dressed flamboyantly, transmitting messages
of peace and harmony.

Following the theft of her accordion, The Space Lady invested in a
then-new Casio keyboard and an echo unit, birthing an otherworldly
new dimension to popular song that has captured the imagination
of the world. Of her early street sets, only one recording was made, self-released originally on cassette and then transferred to a home-made CD.

‘The Space Lady’s Greatest Hits’ features the best of these recordings
- mostly covers of 60s pop and psych alongside interstellar originals
and features archival photographs and liner notes from The Space
Lady herself. “Greatest Hits” contains The Space Lady’s personal
favourites; her haunting take on The Electric Prunes’ “I Had Too
Much To Dream (Last Night),” a frantic “Ballroom Blitz”, and an unbelievably perfect version of “Major Tom” - amidst other reconstructed pop music. Originally released by Night School Records.
