Printed inner sleeve
Sticker on front reads: "Chrome's Read Only Memory EP Plus Rare Bonus Tracks Recorded Live In Italy 1981!""Read Only Memory" is a cult LP by the American experimental rock band Chrome, presented here in a high-quality edition by Cleopatra / Cargo. This release captures Chrome's abrasive, futuristic sound: jagged guitars, dystopian atmospheres, industrial noise textures and psychedelic rock elements collide to form a unique sonic collage that pushed the boundaries of late-70s and early-80s underground music. The LP is ideal for listeners who appreciate raw, analogue experimentation, tape-manipulated soundscapes and a dark, sci-fi-tinged aesthetic. With its dense layers and unconventional song structures, "Read Only Memory" feels less like a conventional rock record and more like a sound-lab document from a parallel world - an essential piece for fans of proto-industrial, post-punk and avant-garde rock.
Chrome are widely regarded as pioneers of experimental and industrial-leaning rock, fusing punk aggression with electronic dissonance and cut-up studio techniques. Emerging from the San Francisco underground, they became a reference point for countless alternative and noise acts that followed, influencing post-punk, goth, industrial and even noise rock scenes worldwide. Their discography is celebrated for its fearless approach to sound design and its visionary blending of rock riffs with tape experiments, feedback and early sampling aesthetics. "Read Only Memory" occupies a special place in their catalogue as a snapshot of the band at a particularly daring and innovative creative peak.
The LP format underlines the character of this material: side breaks structure the listening experience and encourage the full-album immersion Chrome's soundscapes demand. Collectors and audiophiles will appreciate the tangible presence of the record, its artwork and the ritual of playing it from start to finish - the ideal way to absorb the layered, often abrasive but hypnotic textures.
The manufacturer Cleopatra, working in cooperation with distributor Cargo, is known for carefully curated reissues, catalogue titles and special editions from the worlds of alternative, gothic, punk, metal, electronic and classic rock.

In collaboration with Cargo, they ensure reliable distribution and a focus on niche but passionate music communities, making this edition of "Read Only Memory" a strong choice for those seeking a durable, collector-friendly LP version of Chrome's groundbreaking work. | | | No. of tracks: |
