I once posted about the amazing 1982 album by Charanjit Singh that proves he invented acid house music in 1982. See here. Well there is a very hopeful seller on ebay with an original LP copy - wanting $4000 for it!
Impressive. But this is ca. 1982; an eternity in music. I maintain that the seeds of Acid were sown in October 1980 by Simple Minds with "I Travel" What is that song's intro but Acid born from Moroder? Then Depeche Mode picked up the notion with "Shout" almost a year later. But I'll hand it to Singh; this sounded like music that would have been de riguer in '87-'88! I could have been re-issued then and had been sold beyond Singh's wildest dreams.
