Kaleidoscope - BBC Sessions (1967-1971)

I recently posted a stray tracks album by Kaleidoscope (the British psychedelic band by that name, not the American one). This is a collection of their BBC recordings.

Everything here is officially released. Most of the songs are from "Please Listen to the Pictures: The BBC Sessions." But two songs, tracks five and six, are from "Shapes and Sounds." If I recall, there were a couple more songs on the official album that I didn't include because the sound quality was bad. Everything here sounds very good.

As you may notice from all the songs with "[Edit]" in their names, I had to make a lot of edits. These are more cases of BBC DJs talking over the music. I did the usual thing of using the X-Minus audio editing program to wipe the talking while keeping the underlying music.

This album is 53 minutes long.

There are precious few color photos of this band. I found one, but I made a lot of adjustments in Photoshop to make it look good. I don't know where or when it's from exactly.
