A long anticipated collection of long sold out 45s from Polytechnic Youth records:- the tiny North London minimal synth imprint. Emotional Response is proud to offer up the CD version. The Polytechnic Youth label began in 2014 when an old friend went to Germany and bought a cutting lathe, enabling the release of hand cut 45s in micro editions of varying quantities. First fruits were an EP of DIY / experimental electronics from Volume Groop, dressed in a poster sleeve with obi (and now sell for an astounding ?100 / $150!) From there, a dizzying array of collectors' dream releases flowed, clear 5" singles, 8" singles, 45s that played from the inside label out and releases that came with personalized low in the dark' centre adapters, to name a few. All now highly sought after. The compilation features a selection of tracks from these releases, which, while allowing new comers to the label a more affordable foot in the door, also gels and works well as a free flowing full length in its own right.
