Extraordinary documentary on the new drug craze sweeping the nation, one of the best and most entertaining spoken word LPs of the era. Narration (by an uncredited Dick Clark) is superbly eloquent and manages to portray the whole acid wave as a game for con-men and loonies, without ever saying so openly. Allen Ginsberg, Laura Huxley and Ken Kesey get to see only their most bizarre sides exposed, while Tim Leary fares better doing his usual ritual spiel. There's interviews with dozens of teenage heads, and an unforgettable peak is reached with an actual trip recording of "Brian", a hipster acid head who unfortunately happens to have his first bad LSD experience while being recorded (with concealed microphones). The "Brian" recording is authentic-sounding and either very funny or pretty scary, depending on how hard-core you are. A highly sophisticated anti-drug LP, and the artwork and photos are equally outstanding. All material (including the Leary and Kesey/Prankster snips) is unique to this LP. Judging from promo ads, the LP was released as early as August 1966.
