Kaleidoscope - A Beacon From Mars

Epic Records BN 26333

1967 US Issue

Condition - Cover: VG- top & bottom seam wear, minor damage and aging. 

Vinyl: EX with one scuff across side 2 otherwise NM — nice copy.

“Although Los Angeles-based, one spin of this record is to totally understand why Kaleidoscope were so heartily embraced in the San Francisco ballroom scene of the late sixties. The tracks are all extremely diverse, their sounds an emanation more befitting a gipsy caravan campfire than of that of American ethno-blues acidhead band locked in a windowless New York City recording studio.” - The Seth Man, head heritage.com

Allmusic's retrospective review hailed the album as flawless brilliance, "the best non-compilation showcase of [Kaleidoscope]'s legendary eclecticism and versatility." They noted the many styles represented by each of the songs, and deemed that "Every one of these disparate styles is performed with authority and commitment, and the result still has the power to amaze."
