The 'Sound City Acid Test', originally made in 1965 as The Pranksters' venture into 'the world of The Beatles' is released for the first time on CD. Seventy-four minutes of readings, poetry, music and mayhem from the archives of Ken Kesey and Ken Babbs. Acid Test, Volume 1 documents their attempt to enact an acid test within the recording studio environment. After its release as a 1000-copy limited-edition LP, it was repeatedly bootlegged. This CD also features 'Vietnam Day 1966', a previously unreleased musical reconstruction (recorded in 1967) of the Pranksters' famous meeting with the Hell's Angels which subsequently launched the career of visiting Prankster, Hunter S Thompson.

This review is from: The Merry Pranksters: Acid Test Volume 1 (King Mob Spoken Word CDs) (Audio CD)
I'll preface this review by saying that I'm an unabashed admirer of Kesey and the Pranksters and listening from that place, this is a significant recording. It's a perfect companion to the recently released videotape of the '64 bus trip. I realize that most rational folks will hear this as just so much noise but if you listen closely, you'll hear the spirit of the real revolution that went on in the fabled sixties.
