Notes:
Repress of the 2017 reissue from Dark Entries.
The release contains a hype sticker, a double-sided insert and NO postcard replica.

Everything was recorded on one inch 8-track at Starforce Studios, Clapham + The Shed, Ilford

Originally released on cassette by In Phaze Records, 1982.
Remastered at Fantasy Studios, Berkeley 2017.

Tracks B6 and B7 did not appear on the original release:
Track B6 is unreleased.
Track B7 was originally released under the band name Exhibit A on the b-side of the single Distance (1980). It features Dan and Matthew only and is to be considered the first "Solid Space" track ever.

Amongst collectors of post-punk era cassettes, Solid Space's sole album, 1982's Space Museum, has long been a sought-after item. While scarce and hard to find, the demand is largely down to the music contained within. Combining bright and spacey synthesizers with cheap drum machines, fuzzy guitars and vocals musing on science fiction and isolation, British DIY musicians Matthew Vosburgh and Dan Goldstein (previously both of of Exhibit A) created something surprisingly magical and alluring despite its lo-fi creation. For proof, check this first ever vinyl edition from Dark Entries, which thrillingly also contains two previously unreleased cuts from the duo's archives.
