One of the earliest psychedelic compilations, and probably the strangest, is The Magic Cube, which appeared inexplicably in 1982 in hip record emporiums around the world. A limited edition 9" flexi-disc housed in a card envelope. When it was opened it unleashed a pop-up psychedelic cardboard cube emerged to mystify and confuse. Purportedly the product of the same deranged collector mind who gave the world the first Acid Dreams compilation, The Magic Cube certainly contained some killer US '60s garage psych punk, not least the stupendously rare Children Of The Mushroom's "You Can't Erase A Mirror" and The Bedlam Four's crazed "Hydrogen Atom" as well as The Frontpage News' fuzz fest "Thoughts" and six other US '60s acid punk psych diadems. Now reissued in the original but improved packaging and pressed on 10" soft lilac vinyl, The Magic Cube awaits once again to pop up and plunge into your fragile eggshell mind. Also features: Rising Storm, Unrelated Segments, Painted Faces, Burgundy Run, Indian Puddin' And Pipe, and Kenny & His Friends. Taste the cube... "By 1984, I was awash with these compilations and had racked up eighty-five of the suckers before I screamed 'Enuff!' The weirdest was definitely the 10" flexi calledThe Magic Cube, whose free-standing 3D cardboard sugar cube I stupidly constructed one stoned afternoon in '85." --Julian Cope. comes with a pop up cube.
