Timothy Leary
Soundtrack to the motion picture;
Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out One part psychologist, one part psychonaut, and one part huckster, Dr.
Timothy Leary was one of the
most fascinating and enigmatic figures to
emerge from the ‘60s, and the fact that he released a
soundtrack to a
film that nobody ever saw fits right in with his modus operandi. Indeed,
mass
confusion reigns as to the origin of the tracks found on Turn On,
Tune In, Drop Out. First of all, Leary
had released an album by the same
name a year earlier on the ESP-Disk label; that one was a spoken
word
record offering Leary’s thoughts on LSD, philosophy, and religion. Then,
in 1967,
Mercury Records released this record, ostensibly a soundtrack
recording, but to what? Latter day
sources differ as to this question;
IMDB claims the soundtrack hails from five short films (including
footage of the San Francisco Be-In and Andy Warhol’s Plastic Inevitable,
and an early
Nam June Paik film featuring The Beatles), but then how
could there be one soundtrack to five separate
and distinct films? Other
authorities provide a more plausible answer—Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out
was
a film that Leary, his partner Rosemary Woodruff Leary, and
long-time psychedelic traveling companion
Ralph Metzner made that was so
far out (even for 1967), that it received little theatrical release if
any at all. In it, Leary guides Metzner on a trip through his body,
through his memory, and all the way
back to his evolutionary cellular
origins, while Rosemary is the divine connection echoing Leary’s
calming
words. But, unlike its eponymous predecessor, this is no mere
spoken-word record; alternating
with and accompanying Leary’s rap is a
mesmerizing East-West blend featuring guitar, tabla, and the
rarely-heard veena, an Indian instrument akin to a sitar or a sarod,
while odd use of reverb and sound
effects create a musique concrete
effect blending voice and music. Trippy? You bet. Even the song
titles
chart the course of an acid trip. It’s also a bit of a time machine back
to the heady days of the
Summer of Love; and for this super limited edition reissue, we have pressed limited copies in
red, blue & green
“kaleidoscope” vinyl. Turn on and tune in with the guy Richard Nixon
called "The most dangerous man in America!"
