Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing. A Beacon From Mars was Kaleidoscope's second album, released in February 1968 spearheaded by the single and album opener 'I Found Out'. Upon release, it received good reviews from critics and listeners alike, but commercially it was rather unsuccessful. This is the best non-compilation showcase of their legendary eclecticism and versatility. Every one of their disparate styles is performed with authority and commitment, and the result still has the power to amaze. Kaleidoscope (originally The Kaleidoscope) was a psychedelic folk and ethnic band that featured David Lindley many years before he became a legendary session guitarist for artists like Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon as well as a respected solo artist.
