Title:	Song Of A Gypsy
Label:	DAILY BREAD MINISTRIES
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	DAMON

Late 1990's reissue of this US private pressing monster from the late '60s -- available again. This has been booted twice before (UK's Afterglow and on LP via the "fuck you" Fanny label out of Belgium), but this is the first legit issue, from original masters, via the resurfaced hands of Damon himself. Originally recorded in 1969 and released in some micro-quantity of non-distributed LPs, the album documents Damon's travelling-gypsy-psych concoction and will either blow you into the stratosphere with its precise period-evocations, or have you in a rage of tears. Personally, I find the exotic percussion, the lovely zap-fuzz psych guitar and the invigoratingly heart-stopping hippie-era insight of Mr. Damon's lyrical genius one of life's more rewarding small pleasures. The final track, "The Road of Life," a metaphysical battle where "some wear suits, some wear beads," caps off one of the finest philosophical acid-comedy records of all time. This record is also in Paul Major's "Top Five of Weird Underground Psych/Folk", as revealed in Vice magazine.

Catalog #:	DAMON 2

A surprising comeback album nearly 30s after the legendary Damon album came out. Unlike so many psych "big-ticket" albums that have come out in the last decade that were nothing more than purely ridiculous (anybody hear the reunion's from The Dark, Bent Wind, Marcus?), this record seems to maintain a similar spirit to the original intent. What a dude. "Damon, the Gypsy, returns after years of obscurity to present us with his new album. It bears the typical Damon trademark of haunting, hypnotic melodies, with lyrics that overflow with reflective thoughts of love and life that convey a deep-seated wisdom that will affect each and everyone of us in one way or another. As in the original Song of A Gypsy, this new album will leave the listener with a much deeper insight into life itself, as well as the meaning of life itself, that most of us couldn't even begin to comprehend.

Catalog #:	GUESS 020LP

Repressed on vinyl. "Damon. This is the artistic name of David Del Conte, a genius American gypsy musician who is responsible for probably the rarest and most sought-after psychedelic music album of all time. We're talking about his debut album, Song of a Gypsy, which was originally released in 1969. This album has a totally unique sound, with the 'crooner-like' voice of Damon, the omnipresent melodic fuzz guitar of Charlie Carey and truly atmospheric melodies. Guerseen is very proud to be able to re-release Song of a Gypsy on vinyl format. This will come with the rarer gatefold cover (there were two original pressings, one in single cover and one in gatefold, with different artwork). This fabulous vinyl production comes with an extra 33rpm EP including the four tracks that were released on their two bloody rare singles, including an insert with photos and liner-notes, making this a very special release if all previous things weren't enough."
