Doof - " Exist " (Namedrop Records NR1 ) 10" EP ,1981
Phillip Johnson, who regularly appeared on Deleted records compilations,
and released several c-90's during 79-80, is the man behind Doof! He
and Paul Platypus ( of DIY supergroup The Reflections), created this
audio mumble, that must have been recorded under a duvet or something
equally acoustically deadening. That something as dysfunctional as this
ever made it onto ten inch vinyl is as much a miracle as the sub-genius
that is contained within these grooves.This record has the logic of
Dreams, and that is a quality which David Lynch and the like spend
millions of dollars,and years of thought to achieve......Doof could shit
surrealism in their lunch hour, and Dada is just their father.Nothing
extraordinary for Doof.......who the hell were they anyway.........i'm
glad i dont know.

This record is a classic.

Just done the business - thanks so much for this!
Reading the booklet got me thinking (uh-oh) - I don't suppose by some miracle you have a scan-able copy of Common Knowledge fanzine, which Bendle writes about in his book? It sounds like an absolutely crucial document!
Alas, nien!
But I,or you, could ask him I suppose? He may have some stashed away somewhere?
