About

Switched On (also known as Switched On Stereolab or Switched On Volume 1) is a compilation of Stereolab's first three releases (Super 45 EP, Super-Electric EP and Stunning Debut Album 7"), and was originally released in 1992. The album's name is in tribute to Switched-On Bach and other similar titles from the late 1960s to 1970s that feature Moog synthesizers as the primary instrument. Switched On was later licensed to Slumberland Records for a US release, and Rough Trade Germany, for that country, both in 1992. Release details Too Pure 31022 / Peur 001 - CD Slumberland 22 - LP.
