The Dream World of Dion McGregor (He Talks In His Sleep)
New York: Decca Records, 1964.
Original pressing. DL 4463. Record Near Mint a few faint dust/sleeve rubs but clearly rarely handled. Sleeve has discrete 2"x2" square razor thin slice at the upper front corner where a store sticker was probably removed when it had shrink wrap, tiny red "Z" stamp to rear cover, otherwise in great shape; VG. In original Decca pictorial inner sleeve. Cover art by the one and only Edward Gorey. A classic Outsider album that's closer to surrealist short fiction than music; one man's dreams narrated by him as they happen. Issued around the same time as a book version. The audio version is superior, though, because the tenor of Dion's voice with its cattiness, nuances, and intonations adds a lot. McGregor's unconscious reveals itself (and our own unconsciousnessess too perhaps?) as deeply entertaining, funny, disturbing, and wildly creative.
