For decades, these demos have been passed around from collector to collector in the shadows but had never been officially released… until now!!

For those who don’t know… from 1968 to 1977, Mingering Mike produced hundreds of fictional albums, complete with illustrated cover art, unique song titles, and cardboard vinyl replicas, all released on fictitious record labels. His meticulous work crafted a big beautiful interconnected world. In 2003, his records were found at a flea market by our friend Dori, leading to gallery shows, exhibitions, and publications highlighting Mike’s genius. The entire collection of his known work from this initial active period has since been acquired by the Smithsonian. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe’re not sure how familiar Mike was with Bad Brains before asked to do this collaboration but on the back cover he accurately depicted them in military uniforms. Daryl, Earl, and Dr. Know in full camo suits with their instruments in hand; HR in a ghillie suit, with binoculars on, peering at what’s ahead. Four men on a mission to change the world, a mission at which they succeeded. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial thanks to Dori Hadar.
