Dr. West’s Medicine Show and Junk Band – The Eggplant That Ate Chicago

This is an original 1967 US promotional pressing of The Eggplant That Ate Chicago by Dr. West’s Medicine Show and Junk Band, released on Go Records (22-17 003). This psychedelic folk oddity became a cult classic, anchored by the title track and its surreal humor.

Featuring Norman Greenbaum (who would later achieve fame with “Spirit in the Sky”), this record is an authentic slice of 1960s underground music culture, combining jug band, psychedelic, and novelty rock elements. Promo copies like this one are rare and highly collectible.
