VERY Rare Private Funk/Psych from amazing, totally obscure, San Francisco bay area group.?

Original 1975 pressing. Not a Reissue.
Matrix #s: SMBFT-1-A // SMBFT-1-B

Bizarre SF Bay Area Funk/Psych group "Mysterious Minds" played, among other more traditional instruments, a self-made original horn instrument called a Brass Orchestra Cabinet (designed, developed & invented by the keyboardist Tim S. Jones). It’s like a homemade "pipe organ" made of trumpets and other horns, sounding like nothing else you ever heard before.

Superb rare groove all the way, with way out psychedelic lyrics plus long instrumental passages. Really nice drums, some wild guitar and a really odd worldview. It says both "Mysterious Minds" and "Mystic Minds" on the label, but they were primarily known as The Mysterious Minds.

I can’t think of too many other private Psychedelic Funk LPs that are this good and this “out there”.
A unique and generally unknown masterpiece that will be highly appreciated by rare funk groove diggers, DJ's, psych-heads, "Real People" and incredible strange music fans...

This LP came direct from the private collection of somebody who worked on the recording. I got the last few from his long-held stash over a year ago and have kept this one still-sealed copy and opened it to play for the sound clips below. My friend who worked on the recording (approx. 15 miles from where I live) stated that they were only pressed the one time -he thinks less than 500 were pressed. I've been blessed to be able pick up the last few, stored away for nearly 40 years and recently uncovered. The LAST of the original pressings!

Recorded at PACIFIC Recording in San Mateo, CA. Cover printed by Moon-Lith Press, Mountain View CA.
