THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL UK ORIGINAL PRESSING OF THE 1968 SPIRIT'S DEBUT S/T LP
-
Spirit's self-titled debut album is one whose multifarious experimentalism owes a lot to the contemporary successes of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It marked the humble beginnings and grand aspirations of its eponymous authors. The eclecticism of Randy California's writing coupled Barrett's psychotropism with Morrison's West Coast bohemianism; and although the result proved somewhat inaccessible to the mainstream masses (at least commercially), it made the project ripe for underground FM airtime. The band would later curtail its psychedelia, focusing on a broader array of genres.
This release was published first by Ode Records in 1968. It has since been reprinted by Sony, repackaged in compact-disc form and remastered from original analogue tapes.

The song "Fresh-Garbage" has been sampled in the Pink song "Feel Good Time", found on the soundtrack of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. "Fresh Garbage" was also used as the title (and theme music) of a rock music program on BBC Radio London in the early 1970s.
In 1973 Epic released a two-disc LP repackage of Spirit and Clear entitled "Spirit".
