about

This acclaimed, yet often overlooked, UK group's first US compilation collects highlights from their entire recorded legacy. Kaleidoscope emerged from the British Psychedelic scene in 1967, releasing two influential albums (Tangerine Dream, Faintly Blowing), and several non-LP singles with Fontana before switching to Vertigo and evolving into Fairfield Parlour in 1970. Newly remastered, the collection includes their hit "Bordeaux Rosé" along with key album cuts like "The Sky Children", "Snapdragon", and the defining "Music". Also included is a 1964 demo of this foursome, Peter Daltrey, Eddie Pumer, Steve Clark and Danny Bridgman, when they were the Sidekicks. In addition to video from the band's memorable final performance in London, the set includes previously unreleased/unbroadcast footage from French & German TV archives. The perfect introduction to the Kaleidoscope/Fairfield Parlour catalog, as well as a must have for any serious collector.

"Sequencing the tracks for flow rather than chronology was also a smart move, allowing the initiated to hear some of these wonderful songs in a different context and with a certain element of newness and surprise." -Ugly Things

"The real meat here....is the discovery and inclusion of FP's previously unseen October '70 Beat Club performance, in which our heroes amble admirably through 'Free', 'Emily' and 'Sunny Side Circus' while trying not to laugh." - Shindig!

"After being exposed to Sky Children, they will forever be favorites" -babysue
