If you were me, you would be buying this. Because, like, it's an absolute stone classic of early electro. From Wellington. And pretty rare.Why aren't I buying it? I don't really need four copies, ok?

I'm feeling so magnanimous, you can have the "dub" version from the B side, for nothing.

No! But I want to... do you have it?
Last night, at the Wellingtonista thing (which you should have come along to, ow!) someone (my memory is fuzzy) said you'd posted about "Pulsing" and we all started singing it.
Not anymore - I gave all my tapes to Ben Spiers. It's pretty great. It's from the "A Scar is Born" double-cassette which comes packaged in a 12" gatefold sleeve, so i assume it dates from the great pressing plant closure like the Paul Sutherland album.

That would have been me :-)
All together now:
"Rhytmic feedback noise, from electrodes. ELECTRODES!"
More The Body Electric fun...
Excellent to see people are still into this stuff :-) Am I asking in the correct place if anyone would like the whole 'Presentation & Reality' LP ripped to MP3? Cheers, Andrew
thank you! ain't heard this for ages and remember when the body electric played at my school one lunchtime...
I have a version of this song, included on a compilation of italo hits... I don't know, mine sounds less elaborated than this one you present here, almost as if it was a 12" faded away at 3.10.
I knew these guys back in the early 80's. Alan and Garry are great people and this song was fantastic. I also remember them selling all their gear when The Body Electric folded so they could buy a Fairlight.
