WITH MUCH APPRECIATION TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS:  If you have a question on orders received, please contact us.  We take Customer Service seriously, and we want you to be satisfied.   When leaving Feedback, please consider the following:  eBay's policy on the 5-star rating system is anything less than a 5  reduces our standing with eBay and ultimately can affect our selling abilities if we hit 4.6 across the board.  Ridiculous, but true.

Another eBay tyrannic rule is they require us to say we prefer PayPal.  In reality, WE PREFER ANY FORM OF PAYMENT THAT IS CONVENIENT FOR YOU!

We mail all paid orders out once a week on Fridays/Saturdays.  Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule to Monday.   We strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable.  We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order.  Please be aware we have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.

M- vinyl 1969 first pressing EXOTIC PSYCH classic !                    

           KALEIDOSCOPE

              Incredible      

...USA - yellow Epic - BN 26467

Rare original 1969 VINYL first pressing in unipac gatefold cover ... One of the greats in Kaleidoscope legend, it's a bit more turned-on & heavy, and still retains the exotic grooves, like all over the place.  

Incredible! (1969) was the combo's third album and first to boast contributions from newest members Stuart Brotman (bass/vocals) and Paul Lagos (percussion), flanking David Lindley (guitar/banjo/violin/vocals), Solomon Feldthouse (guitar/oud/clarinet/saz/jumbas/vocals), and Chester Crill (harmonica/violin/organ/vocal). In the absence of Chris Darrow's commanding songwriting, each member projected himself into the material, which adopts a discernible rural garage psych-rock lilt accompanying Kaleidoscope's established Eastern-informed psychedelia. Nowhere do the two seemingly disparate styles fuse as effortlessly as the upbeat opener, "Lie to Me." Similarly the rural feel of "Let the Good Love Flow" could be easily mistaken for a bent-edged Commander Cody, with Lindley pulling off a convincing faux steel guitar lead. On the other side of the spectrum is the gritty hard fuzzed workout on Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor," as it slithers and slides around Lagos' solid rhythm. The bayou-tinged "Petite Fleur" hearkens to a sound the band explored on the cover of "Louisiana Man" from their previous long-player, A Beacon from Mars. The appropriately titled "Banjo" provides Lindley with a vehicle for his remarkable virtuosity, likewise adding stimulation from Feldthouse's strong East-meets-West exotic vibe. The traditional "Cuckoo" is one of Kaleidoscope's heavier numbers, reinforcing Lagos' muscular interjections. The album concludes with the lengthy and adeptly crafted "Seven-Ate Sweet," a reference to the time signature of the 11-plus-minute stunning instrumental. It offers nothing short of a consistently inspired example of the power and prowess within this incarnation calling themselves   Kaleidoscope.

CONDITION: The unipac gatefold cover is "VG++" tiny delete at top right corner ...otherwise clean with very little prior use detectable (was taken care of) ....there are no seam splits, no bends and no writing anywhere...stiff sharp corners...and this cover is normally found with more wear because it is dark and usually wears easily, especially 40 years later !

The vinyl is all shiny M- no scuffs, no scratches = "clean" ....so expect to play top level, excellent !! 

      A cool addition to anyone's music library!
