DESCRIPTION:  Way back in the incense-fogged yesterdays of 1985, Dimentia 13 unveiled their first album, released on the Midnight Records label. The music, a fusion of garage, acid rock, and lonesome acoustic folk (with a touch of the psychotically surreal), appealed to lysergic fans all and sundry. The band was essentially vocalist and guitarist Brad Warner, who assembled various accomplices for his demented forays into psychedelia; he wrote and sang all of the warped material himself. One can hear snatches of Warner's inspirations: Syd Barrett, Mothers of Invention, Roky Erikson, and Hendrix; still, the end result is distinctly Warner's, a combination of warbly off-key vocals, ultra-fuzz guitar, and weird backing instruments. The final album by Dimentia 13, Flat Earth Society, shows Warner at his most coherent, with tight arrangements augmenting his always twisted vocalizations. You Tickle Me Pink, Whisperer, and Pleasant Shoes join Warner's best previous work. The development of Dimentia 13's sound had reached full maturity on this album, without losing the psychotic edge that made them so appealing. 







THIS ITEM IS NEW AND UNPLAYED. Used items will include condition details for inserts, disc, and jewel case/digi-pak/mini-jacket.

NOTE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS:  If the tray card, bar code, jewel case, insert, or digi-pak is punched, marked, or cut in any manner, denoting a promotional/review copy, I will state that as part of the item description. Also if an issue is a "music club" edition, that will be noted in the item description. (The below information last updated 9/04/24)

If you have any questions or if you have additional information, especially corrections, to the description, please e-mail me. I particularly enjoy when an artist, band member, or someone who has personal background knowledge of a particular album/artist and offers their insight/information of that artist/recording, which I will include with the description for future listings of that release. As a collector of many years, part of the hobby side for me is to learn about the background of the artists and music that I collect. Hopefully, sharing some of this information in my descriptions will help educate and enlighten your listening experience.

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER CURRENTLY LISTED ITEMS AND EBAY STORE:  Grooving To Paradise.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

All CDs come sealed in standard jewel cases and are US releases unless noted otherwise. mini-jackets, digi-paks, and variable (non-standard) packaging will also be noted. Any item that does not come sealed or include an outer sleeve will be placed inside of an outer sleeve at the time it is received by me. All items that do not come sealed in an outer packaging wrap are inspected by me prior to shipping. It is not unusual to find small/tiny imperfections on the play side of the CD disc, especially on European manufactured CDs; these small imperfections do not affect the playback of the disc. Also an unsealed jewel case may show light signs of warehouse/transit storage wear on the outer surface of the jewel case. If an unsealed jewel case is received by me broken, it will be replaced with a new jewel case before shipping; sealed CDs received with minor cracked/damaged jewel cases will be noted as such in the item’s description and will be shipped as received.

ABBREVIATIONS:

SS or SLD:  Still Sealed or Sealed. Short abbreviation that will appear in the title line of my listings. This item is new and unplayed. Also appears in the listing description as Sealed CD or Factory Sealed CD.

NEW CD:  This item is new and unplayed, but was received from a supplier without being shrink wrapped or cellophane wrapped; more common on imports but also many of the smaller independent US labels do not seal their CDs; some have it both ways (for which I have no prior knowledge of or choice when placing my orders). Other companies use resealable clear outer sleeves which are used on some import and domestic releases. If I receive an item this way it will be shipped as I received it and not opened up. Items received unwrapped are placed inside of a resealable clear outer mylar sleeve at the time they are received.

GFC or GF:  Gate fold cover, refers to a style of mini-jacket CDs.

S/T:  Self-Titled

2/1:  This denotes that 2 albums are on 1 single CD.

RE:  Reissue. Variations from the original pressing will be noted when known.

REMAST:  Remastered. More specific sourcing will follow within the item’s description when available.

SSW:  Singer-Song Writer.

OOP:  Out Of Print.

MIX:  This sometimes appears in my title line and refers to a group's/artist's music having a mix of styles such a rock track with jazz then followed by a straight rock track followed by a psych rock track, etc., as opposed to a blues album with the album's tracks having predominantly one style.

XT, XTKS, or #XTKS:  Usually in lower case type as part of the title line, denotes bonus tracks on this release (extra track, extra tracks, or the number of extra tracks).

ULC, LRC, etc.:  Upper Left Corner, Lower Right Corner, etc. used in referencing the area of a defect or blemish to the jewel case or packaging.

 

MULTIPLE ITEM PURCHASERS:

 

A shipping discount will be applied to all multiple item purchases. My automatically generated invoices do not apply discounted shipping (I’m kinda old school). Shipping discounts are automatically applied by two methods:

 

1)   Complete your purchase via the shopping cart and request an invoice total,         

The shipping amount will reflect the discount price for you to make your payment. This method seems to pose some difficulty in navigating to the request invoice link

2)   Purchase and pay the full individual shipping amount and I will automatically refund the shipping discount to you once processed for shipping. (This seems to be the preferred method of my customers)

US customers whose purchase includes CD(s) along with LP(s) will be shipped in a single package via media mail. Purchases of 3 or more CDs or a box-set will ship via media mail.

 

INTERNATIONAL customers whose purchase includes CD(s) along with LP(s) will be shipped in a single package at the current rate by weight and measurement.

A shipping discount only applies if all items purchased ship in a single package.

Please e-mail me with any questions you may have.
