Limited Edition: Pressing of 1000 copies on Pink Vinyl
Ken Kesey’s Ultra Rare 1966 studio recording of the Acid Test
with The Grateful Dead. Legendary documentation of the
1965-66 Bay Area Acid Test scene from 14 hours of the actual
trip (recorded in a studio). Lots of amazing mind games and
word play with Ken Kesey and Ken Babbs in good form, ad
libbed poetry, fractured harmonica solos, tape loops and the
Grateful Dead lurking in the background. Originally released in
March 1966.

via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

I bought the 12 inch single for Bela Lugosi’s Dead at Fred’s records in St. John’s, Newfoundland in the eighties and it remained a treasured item in my collection until it was lost, left behind, stolen, loaned out, whatever. I accepted that that item was lost to time and likely irreplaceable. Hence my utter shock to see that I will once again hear this evocative masterwork on vinyl along with an extra three tracks. I recall Boys was included on the B-side of that long list single. Thank you! skritti
Gnarly punk rock from the Philadelphia duo is unhinged in the best way, an in-the-red sonic assault a la Motorhead/Stooges. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 9, 2024
Magnificently haunting songs that are full of shadow and fog, Sara Ardizzoni’s imposing alto cutting a path through a thicket of guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 15, 2022
