Description

"KALEIDOSCOPE- A BEACON FROM MARS"

1968 Epic BN 26333 label

The condition of the cover is a nice EX, no seam splits or writing.  The condition of the disc is also a nice EX with only a minimal amount of light sleeve scuffs present.  The vinyl still exhibits a brilliant gloss and it plays great!

 Original 1968 first vinyl pressing of the deliciously timeless & classic psychedelic garage gem ... in the holy grail of USA psychedelic records, early on (psych) enthusiasts put this album right up there and next to The 13th Floor Elevators first two albums.

Wielding a battery of exotic instruments that once adorned a thrift-shop front window (bazouki, oud, vina, saz, doumbeg), the Kaleidoscope was every bit as multi-hued and subject-to-change as the telescope full of bright bits of colored glass the band was named after. If there had been a prize for the most eclectic psychedelic outfit, L.A.'s Kaleidoscope would have had it stashed on a shelf-between the hookah pipes and the bowling trophies-in the band's rehearsal space. Formed by multi-instrumentalists David Lindley and Chris Darrow, with a membership that also included multi-instrumentalist Solomon Feldthouse and multi-instrumentalists Max Buda, Chester Crill and Fenrus Epp (all the same person!) along with drummer John Vidican, this wildly experimental and gifted outfit pioneered what would become the world-music genre by darting deftly between rock, folk, blues, Cajun, rural, Middle Eastern, good-time ballads and Eastern European styles, with plenty of full-blown psychedelia on the side. It's an exotically diverse approach, explored to great effect on 1968's A Beacon from Mars, Kaleidoscope's second LP (the working title for the album was Bacon from Mars). Just float your head through the buoyant, sprawling, mystical title track; the driving, raga-esque "Taxim"; or the graceful opener, "I Found Out," which unfolds like the tender petals of a young rose. Beacon from Mars is an album no fan of '60s West Coast psych can afford to miss!
