  UK - (SILVER/BLACK) FONTANA RECORDS - STL.5491


Outrageously exotic & rare 1969 original BRITISH press in laminated GATEFOLD. The album that has sold for 1,500 - 2,000 $$$ and valued as a UK 1969 psychedelic masterpiece ...

This Swinging London group made three delightful albums all greatly sought after.

SEE FULL CONDITION BELOW...please

....................................................................................................

KALEIDOSCOPE was one of England’s purest and most beloved  '60s psychedelic bands. Mid-tempo on the verge of laid-back acid fringed freak-beat at its best.


....................................................................................................

For their second, 1969 album KALEIDOSCOPE delivered something an awful lot like their "Tangerine Dream" first album, a body of pleasant, trippy, spacy raga-rock, with the main difference that they pushed the wattage a little harder on their instruments -- they'd also been performing pretty extensively by the time of their second long-player, and a lot of the music here was material that they'd worked out on-stage in very solid versions. The result is a record just as pretty as their debut but a little punchier and more exciting within each song than their first album. The title track is also one of the more beautiful psychedelic effects pieces of its period, while "A Story from Tom Bitz" is crunchy folk-rock, "(Love Song) For Annie" represents a more lyrical brand of druggy folk-rock. Other highlights include “Poem,” a soft folk track similar to “Please Excuse My Face,” the phased out hard rocker “Music” and the edgy psychedelic title cut. Abrasive numbers “Snapdragon” and “Love Song From Annie” represent Kaleidoscope’s new hard rock approach while still retaining the group’s clever edge – these cuts are both gems. Some songs’ lyrics, like that on the tuneful folk-rocker “A Story From Tom Blitz,” deal with morals and important life lessons to be learned.

The music on Faintly Blowing is a bit more professional sounding full of sharp ideas, fairytale lyrics, fine songcraft and pretty vocals. If you’re intrigued by psychedelic, progressive or folk sounds, this LP is not to be missed!                                     Side One

CONDITION: The cover: rated VG+(+) laminated gatefold, bit of handling wear on edges and corners, but only minor,  delicate, colorful and fragile GATEFOLD cover is exactly as first British released in 1969. Still a collectible copy by all means. Has bright colors, no split seams, no bends, no writing, no delete marks

The vinyl: all clean and bright over both sides, rated: VG+(+) with exception to first track side one which skips, even though reason isn't visual. There are a few minor hair scuffs , one hairline that was not audible when tested here; results: besides the first track, all the rest of side one and all of side two plays fantastic...first '69 UK pressing...
