[379] The Wondrous World of Damon & Naomi (Sub Pop CD)
In late 2006 Damon & Naomi announced a sale in their shop which included 24 copies of the out of print Sub Pop edition of Wondrous World. SHamefully until that point the only copy I had of their second album was the radio promo picked up in a London record shop so I took the opportunity to correct that.
I also ordered a Galaxie 500 T-shirt, to make the shipping more acceptable. I emailed Naomi and admitted my Wondrous World shame, although since this is now the fifth copy of Wondrous World in this collection I guess I’ve somewhat redeemed myself?
The booklet is a beautiful piece of Naomi’s art and design although that art and design does sometimes make the lyrics hard to read. The insert that came with the LP was missing most of the booklet but did have readable lyrics.
I rather love the (tiny) pic of Damon & Naomi sitting under a tree and looking so folky on the back of the booklet. I happen to know however that Damon is not so keen on it.
The artwork that was used in the booklet was included in an exhibition of Naomi’s art called Victorian Girls in 2016. I didn’t make the exhibition (it being so far away) but did get a signed copy of the beautiful booklet.
The CD arrived with a hand-written note from Naomi.
