Description
• Labeled “The Most Dangerous Man in America” by Richard Nixon, Timothy Leary Was One of the Most Intriguing and Enigmatic Figures to Emerge from the ‘60s
• One Part Psychologist, One Part Psychonaut, and One Part Huckster, Leary Capitalized on Media Coverage to Become the Spokesperson of the Counterculture’s Experimentation with Drugs and Especially LSD
• His 1967 Mercury Album Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out—The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Was Released Under Typically Hazy Circumstances
• The Record Was the Soundtrack to a Film Nobody Ever Saw, and One Which to This Day Remains Subject to Speculation
• It Appears that Leary, His Partner Rosemary Woodruff Leary, and Fellow Psychedelic Adventurer Ralph Metzner Made a Film Chronicling a Metzner’s Experience of an LSD Trip
• Leary Acts as Guide and Rosemary Leary the Divine Presence as Metzner Journeys Through His Body, Through His Memory, and All the Way Back to His Evolutionary Cellular Origins
• But, Unlike the Album by the Same Name That Leary Released a Year Earlier on The ESP-Disk label, Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out Is No Mere Spoken-Word Record
• Leary’s Rap Is Accompanied by a Mesmerizing East-West Blend of Guitar, Tabla, and the Rarely-Heard Veena, an Indian Instrument Akin to a Sitar or a Sarod
• Music, Voice, and Sound/Studio Effects Combine to Create a Musique-Concrete Effect
• Trippy and Disorienting, the Record and Its Song Titles Are Designed to Mimic the Trajectory of an Acid Trip
• It’s Also a Time Trip Back to the Heady Days of the Summer of Love
• Pressed in Red, Blue & Green “Kaleidoscope” Vinyl
• Limited to 1600 Copies
