Reissues

Kaleidoscope (originally The Kaleidoscope) was an American psychedelic folk and ethnic band formed in Los Angeles, USA. Active from 1966 to 1969, they recorded 4 albums and several singles for Epic Records. The band consisted of various members throughout their existence, including *David Lindley*, *Solomon Feldthouse*, *Chris Darrow*, *Chester Crill*, *John Vidican*, *Stuart Brotman*, *Paul Lagos*, *Jeff Kaplan* and *Ron Johnston*. Known for their unique blend of folk and ethnic influences, Kaleidoscope's music continues to captivate audiences today.

With a sound that incorporated elements of traditional folk music along with diverse world music styles, Kaleidoscope created a truly distinctive musical experience. Their fusion of psychedelic rock with global sounds set them apart from other bands of the era. Songs like "Egyptian Gardens" and "Beacon from Mars" showcased their innovative approach to songwriting and instrumentation.

Influenced by artists such as Clear Light, The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, and The Electric Prunes among others, Kaleidoscope played a significant role in shaping the psychedelic folk genre. Their contributions to the music scene during the late 1960s left a lasting impact on future generations of musicians.

Look through any self respecting quality music publication or web site and peruse through a list of the most important and influential psychedelic albums of all time and you can be pretty sure to see&nbsp;Kaleidoscope's Tangerine Dream ranked high up there, along with your Sgt Peppers, your Forever Changes, Satanic Majesties Request, Axis Bold As Love, Odyssey and Oracle and The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators……..

This seminal album of quintessential English psychedelia is one of the most highly prized artifacts that define the psychedelic genre and like some of the most highly collected and prized albums from that time, mint copies can now go for way in excess of £1000. 

  Thus given the record`s rarity and collectability, matched to the recent explosive interest in all things psyche, garage and underground, you would be excused for thinking that this slice of perfect late 60’s progressive underground pop would have been given the full reissue and remastering treatment already. Surprisingly though, you would very much be mistaken. But to those of you who know the checkered history of Kaleidoscope this will perhaps come as no surprise!?!!  

Following the discovery of a batch of the original master tapes that were languishing in the vaults of Universal that have laid largely unheard for 50 years!  Furthermore following a couple of shared festival billings at Austin and Copenhagen Psyche Festival, with another legend of the scene, Mr Pete Kember aka Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3 fame, Sonic has been holed up in his Lisbon studio, painstakingly remastering the album from the original ¼” tapes.  The remastering of these ¼” tapes though is only part of the story, as along with the discovery of these a significant number of ½” tapes and other material was also discovered which is penned for a future release when the band`s entire works will be presented in a definitive boxset of all four of their studio albums (including all their Fairfield Parlour recordings) plus BBC Sessions, live recordings, alternative takes, new mixes, unreleased tracks and material from the band`s own archive including pre-Kaleidoscope demos when they were known as both The Sidekicks and The Key.
