Robin Sparkles-Let's Go To The Mall' (full version).

"We have spent time researching this model, confirming via Moog Music Inc paperwork from 1981/82 (see scans below) that Moog did indeed offer three factory colors of the Liberation.

To confirm, to the best of out knowledge, that it is a factory original Red edition, the synth was disassembled completely to confirm that the red paintwork was consistent throughout the entire unit. The original laquered finish, with age related crazing, also looks consistent and authentic. The only photo we have been able to find with a similar Red unit is attached below."

Anyone know who that is? Alan Thicke in the background. Moog letter further below.

Update: via Adam on Facebook, it looks like it's Robin Sparkles. Video added above.

Update2: You can also see one in this Nickleodeon video. Curious if it's the same one and studio prop.

  1. Robin Sparkles yes but "Lets go to The Mall" is the wrong song. That Was a Roland AX-1.

    It is called the Beaver Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4pkpuQ_ziI
