"Damon. It's a name that makes the hair on the back of a record collector's neck stand up. His original album, "Song of a Gypsy" (listed in "Goldmine Price Guide to Collectible Record Albums" at a value of $3,000.00), is probably the most coveted of the most coveted objects in vinyl. It is more than just the impossible object though, for it speaks the truth in a most earthly way, its language an utterly lysergic soundpool of tears and blood. Damon and his band were the possessors of a most unique sound; simple and unadorned, yet consummately professional and breathtakingly personal. Surely there is nothing else like it; the great lost creation of the psychedelic era. Knowing also that the members of the band were not schoolboys, but grown men, veterans of various professional music backgrounds, with the confidence to merge a brand new medium with a craft as old as life itself, is another vital element of the finished product."
