Davey Dreamnation: "The Rise and Fall of Davey Dreamnation"

DNRC56 Format: L.P. Released: 2008 Status: DELETED Astonishing Tribesco-only import, re-packaging Dreamnation's original Islands In the Stream of Consciousness LP with one or two surprises - the first being opening track "Theme Song", a previously-unreleased call to arms. In addition, an extended version of the presumed-drowned "Scaramouche's Theme" sees Davey teaming with his llama pal to create a meteoric sensation in the ears of the listener - making this disc an essential part of any self-respecting Davey Dreamnation collection. Finally, an unbelieavly-rare recording of "Trailer", a diatribe against Hollywood deemed unreleasable when first recorded in 2002. In between, the best bits off Davey's debut. An attractive white packaging gives consumers one more reason to buy this testament to the fight against moroseness in pop. Or, at least, that's what one might have said, had this bootleg, just like all the others, not been deleted just as it appeared on the scene, sadly.
