Album Reveals LSD Problems
By WILLIAM D. LAFFLER NEW YORK (UPI) —A “Support Your Local Travel Agent” sticker on a youngster’s automobile bumper may not mean what it says. It may be an invitation to do business with the local pusher of the hallucinatory drug known as LSD—to “take a trip.” Thousands of words have been written about the dangers of fooling around with this drug, which can cause permanent damage to the mind. Now an objective documents-j ry recording, “LSD” (Capitol j 2574), has been produced toj dramatize the impact that this drug has had on the younger generation who can obtain it freely at prices up to $5 a cap. “The album is not meant to entertain,” Alan W. Livingston, ’ president of Capitol Records, I said recently. “It is meant to ! Inform.” Capitol’s “LSD” presents 1 views of both proponents among them Dr. Timothy Leary and Poet Allen Ginsberg and opponents of the drug. It also presents interviews with youngsters who have taken 1 ‘ trips.’’ Most of them are teen-i age girls who such' unimaginative words as “groo-l w v and “wow T ” to describe their experiences. One of the most dramatic sequences involves a tape recording of a “trip” taken by Bryan, a youth who boasted he had swallowed LSD 34 times
j and never had a "bum trip.” But on his 35th he finally loses and is heard laughing hysterically and babbling incoherently. Bryan’s 35th jaunt, as well as the 34 others he has taken and i the rides hitched by others, might be well summed up with I this question? “Is this trip really necessaI ry?” LP of the Week —The Beatles and other pop combos have been using an Indian string instrument called the j sitar for background effects
