ORIGINAL 1968 first pressing ...the hardest to find of the good late 60's albums by this crew of stoned heads ...

Liberty Original inner sleeve should be included!

RARE JUNK indeed....the group's third album release, was only around a short time, becoming their rarest album -- and was actually a collection of essential unused tunes that may have been even better than tunes on their first two albums -- filled with unreleased tracks and singles that formed a respectable 10-song LP. As a sign of just how strong the band was, it still represented a step forward from their second album, and is one of the great unknown albums of 1968.

Rare Junk includes a great version of "Willie the Weeper" (with its familiar "Hi de hi dee ho" chorus), the same song can be found on Kaleidoscope's "Side Trips" album, but called "Minnie The Moocher." Then a slew of highlights follow, including "Collegiana" (done jug band style), "Cornbread and 'Lasses," Tim Hardin's "Reason to Believe," and early member Jackson Browne's "These Days" in one of its better (and surprisingly upbeat) versions. Some of this stuff is so self-conscious in its humor -- "Sadie Green the Vamp of New Orleans" and "Dr. Heckle and Mr. Jibe" come to mind -- that it's hard to believe that it was recorded with much confidence of success, but it works musically, capturing the stoned hipster side of the band's orientation better than anything on their first two LPs.

Future (key) Kaleidoscope member Chis Darrow was in this merry band of tripsters
