Alan Jefferson – Galactic Nightmare album
Cassette inlay ft. Data 70
Galactic Nightmare is a concept album self-published by Alan Jefferson in 1986. From Trunk Records:
Six years in the making (1979– 1985). A unique 90 minute space epic adventure made in a bedroom in Hull on limited and slightly dodgy equipment. A true labour of love and only previously available on C90 Cassette (with Dolby) via Sci-Fi and computer magazines in the mid 1980s. Totally unforgettable, joyous and full of extraordinary detail and ideas. 2 LP set, matt varnish, full colour artwork, printed inner sleeves with complete storyfile, lyrics etc.
The title on the original cassette release uses Data 70 with a gradient fill. In 2015, independent record label Trunk Records reissued the album on vinyl for the first time. Rather than reusing the original logo, Trunk used the similar Moore Computer for the title and track titles.
