The Space Lady began her odyssey on the streets of San Francisco in the late 70s, playing versions of

contemporary pop music an accordion and dressed flamboyantly, transmitting messages of peace and

harmony. Following the theft of her accordion, The Space Lady invested in a then-new Casio keyboard,

birthing an otherworldly new dimension to popular song that has captured the imaginations of the

underground and its lead exponents ever since, with the likes of John Maus, Erol Alkan and Kutmah

being devotees.

Of her early street sets, only one recording was made, self-released originally on cassette and then

transferred to a home-made CD. “The Space Lady’s Greatest Hits”(LSSN021) features the best of these

recordings – mostly covers but with some originals – pressed on vinyl for the first time and features

archival photographs and liner notes from The Space Lady herself. “Greatest Hits” contains The Space

Lady’s personal favourites; her haunting take on The Electric Prunes’ “I Had Too Much To Dream (Last

Night),” a frantic “Ballroom Blitz” amidst other reconstructed pop music. Included are also 4 originals that

easily match for the Pop canon. Following the release of this archive, The Space Lady will be issuing new

material and travelling the world to present her message outside the United States for the first time.

In the mid 90s The Space Lady packed away her Casio synth and silenced her distinctive voice, retiring

from the streets of San Francisco. Now, more than 30 years after her initial forays on Haight Ashbury, shehas surfaced with the first ever official release of her timeless, startling music and, even more remarkably,

has re-started her live career. Now in Colorado, The Space Lady continues to spread her message of

peace, harmony and love.
