KALEIDOSCOPE~INCREDIBLE~VERY RARE, NEAR MINT ORIG 1969 EXOTIC GARAGE PSYCH LP!! KALEIDOSCOPE "INCREDIBLE" Epic - BN 26467 VERY CLEAN Original 1969 first pressing in 1960s Unipack gatefold cover! COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH LIGHT WEAR AND SMALL DENTS AT A COUPLE OF CORNERS. VINYL IS NEAR MINT - OUR HIGHEST RATING - WITH NARY ANY SIGN OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED! NO SPINDLE MARKS! NO CUTOUT MARKS! NO STAPLE HOLES! WITHOUT QUESTION, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST COPIES THAT YOU WILL FIND OF THIS TRIPPY CLASSIC ON ITS ORIGINAL FORMAT, GLORIOUS VINYL!! 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. Lie To Me Let The Good Love Flow Killing Floor Petite Fleur Banjo Cuckoo Seven-Ate Sweet From the collection of a late music industry veteran who received a generous amount of material from the record labels, and was extremely active during the 1970s. Most of this collection appears unplayed, as they have been filed away remaining untouched for over 30 years. Most are PROMO copies, and are also the earliest pressings. This is a rare opportunity to own the earliest pressings of classic material.The image included with the auction is a scan of the actual item but, due to size limitations of the scanner, the edges of the item may have been cropped.

RECORD GRADING POLICY
MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you are getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky's the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
