THE KITES EPIC SWEEPS EP 45 RPM

I just got a second copy of this from Dwayne Zarakov of Say Yes To Apes,Space Dust,Axel Grinders, and by the way now leading The International Telepathics to stardom(check out all those bands on the net when you can) in trade for a Sandy Bull lp.
Having not listened to the first copy I have for years I decided I'd check it out since it has presented itself to me.3 songs of semi acoustic pop'n'strum from these 2 guys from Dunedin.. defintely into melody and songwriting these guys..no noise merchants here..this was a private release of 300 copies in 1987. I have seen 4 copies each with a different colour flimsy lightweight sleeve and the whole thing is a charm to see and hear. The two people involved "A W Takens and H S Bernhardt" also recorded some stuff earlier than this under the name The Forced Cup which was released on a then cassette only release called Ima Cassette Thing.. this later reappeared as a 2 lp lathe cut record.
I have no idea what these two creative individuals have done since this record from the deep dark past of 1987
This copy needs a new home,is it your place????? email me if you think it should be.
