Under the heading of "It was a different time", here is a Christmas record from the science oriented folks at Monsanto. These days, the company is best known for developing superior strains of food crops that increased yield, yet could not reproduce from it's own seeds. They also made it illegal to try and grow their strains from seeds. There's also the whole issue of Round-Up, but I don't know the whole story, and I'm too tired to look it up tonight, but let's just say that their reputation has suffered since this record came out extolling their world-wide production facilities. It's truly a relic of a period when science could cure all our ills. It's also very short, so if you don't like it, just rest assured it will be over quickly. This is

Is this a generic choral or orchestral LP? (I suppose I am going to find out!)
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly. I like industrial promos.
Choral, I think, though there may be some instrumentals sprinkled in that I don't remember. Nicely done, though short, short, short. IIRC, the USA contribution is an original written for this record.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is gorgeous but wow for it being from Monsanto! Thank you
