Hypothetical issued just two records, both by avant-garde electronic duo The Prophets. The first was a standard-sized single, 'Back To The Burner'. It had a catalogue number of ???-1 (which is evidence of a sense of humour) and came out in 1979. The second, 'Wallenberg' (ZUG-2), dates from 1982 and was a 12" single. 'Back To The Burner' proved popular enough to have been reissued on several occasions: 'Music Master' lists reissues on Initial (credited to 'Proroky'; IRS-1; 2/80) and again on Hypothetical (???-1; 10/81), and CBS picked it up in France (CBS-8550; 1982?). The men behind the Prophets are reputed to have been Bernard Szjaner and Karel Beer. Thanks to Robert Bowes for drawing the label to my attention and for supplying the scan.
