Grading is done conservatively, visually. Check unaltered sound clips. I currently have a hand-picked variety of really great garage, psych, heavy, acid-folk, proto-punk, surf-age instrumental, and other assorted 45 delights up for grabs. Lots of obscurities as always, along with a number of Texas and Gulf Coast rarities.

 

 

 

 

 

ARTIST: The Higher Elevation
TITLE: The Diamond Mine / Crazy Bicycle
LABEL: Chicory
CONDITION: Strong VG (Fantastic, strong player. Gorgeous and shiny with a smattering of light scuffs.)

Brilliant, bizarre, campy, and utterly transportive. I'll never forget hearing "The Diamond Mine" open up Pebbles vol. 3 (the infamous Acid Gallery volume) as an impressionable '90s teen. This is Los Angeles underground radio pioneer Dave Diamond incanting his own absurd Tales of Brave Ulysses over a bed of murky, cavernous echo, surf drums, and ominous bass and organ provided by the Higher Elevation, who'd would shortly release some terrific psychedelic pop discs for Liberty, and just after releasing some cool sides as the Monocles (including their version of Bobby Christian's epic "The Spider and the Fly," a precursor to "The Diamond Mine").
