Psychedelic Philicorda

Title link takes you to shots pulled from this auction.

Details:
"This is a non-working Philicorda, believed pretty much complete except for the panel underneath the keyboard and one switch top, but making no sound. It would be possible to repair it, or replace the innards with another example, because the whole point of this is the superb psychedelic painting on the case.

It's the work of Alistair Campbell, aka The Great Unknown. He has been painting in this style for thirty or more years, including doing the cover art for a classic book on psychedelic bands, but generally only sells art to friends or gives it away. www.eclipse.co.uk/sweetdespise/libertycaptions/ tells you a bit more about him.

This amazing image is the result of about 50 hours' work - and a lifetime of mystical experience."
