Ken Kesey was an American novelist, essayist, and countercultural figure. He is the author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo s Nest and a founding member of the Merry Pranksters, a group who was known for spreading early experiments in LSD.

Originally released in March 1966, this ultra-rare album is the work of Merry Pranksters Ken Kesey and Ken Babbs. This album is a studio recording of the Acid Test with The Grateful Dead. A documentation of the 1965-66 Bay Area Acid Test scene. Lots of amazing mind games and word play with Ken Kesey and Ken Babbs in good form, ad-libbed poetry, fractured harmonica solos, tape loops and the Grateful Dead lurking in the background.

This package includes two other Ken Kesey promotional 7 singles BOTH SURREALLY RARE and a set of 8 x 10 in. glossies depicting drug paraphernalia and Hippies. An incredible package for fans of 1960s counterculture .

EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY PAUL COLLINS, ALL MUSIC GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/

CONDITION:

THE RECORD

IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight

a WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial and only moderately visually distracting nothing significant .For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

b The album comes with two original 7 white label promo-only radio play singles with short excepts from the original LP album for their condition - described separately - please see above

c The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording

d Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
