No edit summary |
(Removed needing work tag. Organized external links and references and added content. Also changed the video from 3 tracks to the whole broadcast on youtube. I feel this should be as "Found" since the whole album is available, albeit in poor quality.) |

Album art.
Status: Partially Lost
In 1983, an electronic musician named Jean-Michel Jarre was asked to compose some music for an art exhibition based on supermarkets. He agreed and created Music for Supermarkets in 1983. Only one copy of the album was made, which was auctioned after the art exhibition had ended. To make sure that no other copies of the album would be made the master tapes and plates were burned in front of the attendees. The reason behind this was that Jarre thought that music is art, and like paintings, it should be treated as such. [1]
The current owner and their location are both unknown as of the time of writing this.
