The 'Sound City Acid Test', originally made in 1965 as The Pranksters' venture into 'the world of The Beatles' is released for the first time on CD.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.
