   Here, the outrageously exotic & rare 1969 original BRITISH press in laminated GATEFOLD. The legendary album that has sold for 1,500 - 2,000 $$$ noted valued as a psychedelic masterpiece ...

   Emerging from the mid 60's Swinging London scene, KALEIDOSCOPE managed to release three delightful albums - now all greatly sought after.

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

7. For their second, 1969 album KALEIDOSCOPE delivered a revved up and similar to their "Tangerine Dream" first album, a body of pleasant, trippy, spacy raga-rock, with the main difference they pushed the energy a little harder on their instruments -- they'd been performing pretty extensively by the time of this 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 first yet punchier and exciting within each song. The title track ("Faintly Blowing") is also one of the more beautiful psychedelic effected crafts from the sixties, 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 "Faintly Blowing" title cut. They step on the pedals for abrasive numbers “Snapdragon” and “Love Song From Annie” representing 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 slightly more professional full of sharp ideas, fairy-tale lyrics, fine song-craft -- and pretty vocals.
