Description

KALEIDOSCOPE 'A Beacon From Mars' LP (US, Sundazed, Catalogue #LP 5247) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2008 Sundazed Records label vinyl edition of all-time classic second album by The Kaleidoscope (originally issued in 1968 on the Epic Records label.)

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITON!)

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 outfit pioneered what would become the world-music genre by darting deftly between rock, folk, blues, Cajun, country, 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, Kaleidoscop'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!

Tracks on this LP are as follows:

A1 I Found Out 2:15 A2 Greenwood Sidee 4:12 A3 Life Will Pass You By 3:17 A4 Taxim 11:20 B1 Baldheaded End Of A Broom 3:12 B2 Louisiana Man 2:42 B3 You Don't Love Me 3:57 B4 Beacon From Mars 12:35
