- DESCRIPTION: WOW! AMAZING, EERIE, TRIPPY, BIZARRE, SPACED-OUT PRIVATE-PRESS ACID-PSYCH LEGENDARY MONSTER! Often folky and dreamy, loaded with SPACY effects (recorded in mono, adding to the eerieness). Homemade job of self-produced, original tunes, released on the artist’s very-own label.
"Maitreya Kali" actually is Craig Smith, who previously recorded singles with Penny Arcade, and Chris & Craig. (He refers to himself as Kali here, but also thanks himself as "Craig Smith" in the credits!?!?). These tracks reflect his mental disintegration, likely due to drug use. Originally pressed in 1972, it releases lo-fi self-recorded material from the ‘60s, performed solo and with band. Mike Love sings on the ultra-weird "Salesman", which sounds like a rehearsal track. As far as I can tell, this is a re-issue, even though the store I purchased from said it’s an original. (But after further research, according to Acid Archives, the original has printing on the spine and "masterdub" etched in the deadwax - this copy has neither). Apparently, reissues also are micropresses and still quite desirable. The thick vinyl pressing and solid cardboard cover suggest this copy is from the ‘70s, but I can’t be sure. Has no inserts. Front cover has oddball scribblings and says it’s a "Sound Track From Yosemite" and "Dedicated To Jimi Hendrix". Back cover includes totally bizarre, rambling, self-aggrandizing stream-of-consciousness hippie/drug/religion/sex poetry!
Original or not, this thing’s an AMAZING, RARE GEM – DON’T MISS OUT!

- Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, G+) are used, as applicable.
