Rendez-Vous

Brazilian repress, 1987. Probably very close to this one. This edition has a matrix run out. Same phonographic track codes as listed in the back sleeve. STEREO. Catalog "829125-2" appears on both spines, back cover and booklet (followed by a boxed letter Y). Catalog "829 125-2" appears on CD. This record is dedicated to Ron McNair and the six astronauts who died aboard the Challenger Shuttle on 28th January, 1986. Ron's Piece: This piece was specially composed for Ron to play on his saxophone in the shuttle and was to become the first musical piece played and recorded in space. Ron was so excited about this piece that he rehearsed it continuously until the last moment. May the memory of my friend the astronaut and the artist Ron McNair live on through this piece. Jean-Michel Jarre.
