Gerald Heard was a well respected English philosopher and author who was one of the first to see the benefits of psychedelic drugs. He and Aldous Huxley were friends, and were representatives of the school of thought on LSD, which was that only the "best and brightest" should have access to it.
The box set contains Heard's three albums on World Pacific, all in heavy record jackets as pictured.

INDICATIONS
World Pacific Records WP-1268, 1959
"Mr. Heard poses a fascinating and completely new concept: the possibility that love, as we can know and practice it, may be the long journey from a natural complete engrossment with self, through a gradual growing interest-affection for others, and on to what he defines as being the ultimate love - an unlimited liability towards all of life."
All 3 LP jackets are in very nice condition with a bit of seam wear on each, center - bottom edge.
Explorations has about 4 inches of seamwear along the middle of the top edge.
Jackets are very nice overall.
The LPs look barely played and have some light surface sounds.
The LP box is intact with a bit of tape on two corners, overall good shape with no writing.
