FAC 96 (TFRP No. 155)
Reportedly the first record with a holographic cover (I've done my best to photograph the hologram here), FAC 96 was a 7" single, "Telstar" b/w "Telstar In A Piano Bar" by Ad Infinitum.
Ad Infinitum was a project by New Order's bassist Peter Hook and Lindsay Wilson (the then wife of Tony Wilson).
This single was a cover of the Joe Meek classic "Telstar" and was released in Feb/March1984 in a unique hologram sleeve.
The A-side "Telstar" featured Hooky and a couple of Stockholm Monsters performing an electronic version of the track. Lindsay apparently sang vocals but they were unused because of legal complications.
The flipside, "Telstar In A Piano Bar", featured then ACR keyboardist Andy Connell and Simply Red's Tim Kellet, who was also working with Durutti Column at the time, on trumpet.
