VA - Galactic Zoo Dossier No. 9 CD Sampler


The Galactic Zoo Dossier is a hand drawn psychedelic magazine occasional going since 1995, created by Plastic Crimewave, and has been published by the good folks at Drag City since 2001. The mags originally came with cassettes and posters, but current issues come with a CD compilation of rare sounds and trading card sets of damaged guitar gods and astral folk maidens.

Issues 1-4 were self-published but were collected into a now sold-out book collection by Drag City, the GZD Compendium.

Issues 5-8 were published by Drag city but are also sold-out, except for #8, available while supplies last. Extra trading card sets from GZD #6-8 have been unearthed, check the "merchandise" section of this site for details. (source)
