Minimal Wave promises “the quintessential Sandra Electronics collection of rare outtakes and early recordings.”

Before donning his Regis alias, Karl O’Connor plied his lo-fi wares as Sandra Plays Electronics (which eventually became Sandra Electronics). Rare tape specialists Minimal Wave have collected a clutch of the first Sandra Electronics recordings as a set simply titled Sessions.

The A-side of the tape contains reworked rehearsal takes of tracks that appeared on early Downwards 7″ records before seeing release in 2011 on O’Connor’s White Savage Dance EP. The B-side contains early Sandra Electronics recordings, “all made in Birmingham during the late 1980’s and 90s.”

The collection will be available as a 300-edition cassette run to be released at the Brooklyn Flea Record Fair on May 10, with a digital release to follow. Pre-order Sessions now; the tracklist and German version of ‘Her and Now’ follow.

Sandra Electronics will also be making a rare appearance on the decks at the Brooklyn Flea, and O’Connor will be joined by fellow Sandwell District alum Silent Servant for what promises to be an unmissable set.
