DAMIN EIH, A.L.K. & BROTHER CLARK Never Mind ORIGINAL Psych Holy Grail!

WARNING: There is a warp to this copy that renders it almost completely unplayable. That said, this is a rare chance to own an original artifact of this legendary record.

Absolutely 100% ORIGINAL Demelot Records pressing of a psych holy grail!

Jacket is still in shrink and grades as VG with a light crease across the upper-left corner, some paper peeling at the upper-right corner, and some relatively mild paper curling/bubbling (staining on back) from presumed water damage. Overall, the jacket presents solid. Not mint, but not as bad as it may sound.

Insert is included and is VG+ with no major creasing (just a tiny bend at the upper left corner) and a little bit of negligible staining at the bottom left corner.

Aside from the warp, the record presents itself cleanly. It has nice sheen, only a few visible hairline paper marks, and very nice, clean labels.

As for the play… the needle jumps all over the first three tracks on side A. ("Soft Margins," the last song on the side, plays OK.) There is a skip at the beginning of side two that makes the beginning of the side unplayable. Once the record starts to get traction, there are still major skips and jumps through the first four tracks of side B, before settling into occasional softer jumps on "Kathryn at Night" and settling into relatively playable versions of the last two songs on the side ("Party Hats & Olive Spats" and "Return Naked.")


DAMIN EIH, A.L.K. AND BROTHER CLARK
Never Mind

On many hard-core psych collectors' Top 10 lists, this insanely rare and impossible-to-describe 1973 brain-fryer from Minneapolis is utterly soaked with mystic, thoroughly-dosed higher key psychedelia. It is a truly unhinged gem of out-there, acid-dipped genius, with quavering vocals, flanged-out guitars & effects, acoustic ramble, and fuzz confusion. Damin Eih wandered off to India to clear his head after leaving behind this lone, legendary offering, never to be heard from again.

- "For anyone who enjoys truly bent psychedelia, Never Mind is about as out-there as it gets." --Blogcritics
