HEDAYAT, DASHIELL - Obsolete

New deluxe digipak version (on the long defunct Mantra label?) of this 1971 classic. The LP was originally released on the legendary Shandar label. Hedayat sang lead vocals, played keyboards and cosmic-hedayat-rumble and cut-ups," coerced Daevid Allen and Gillie Smyth (of Gong), William Burroughs, Robert Wyatts son Sam and others to join him in recording this stoned, prog-psych masterwork of two long tracks. The memorable message: "This record must be played as loud as possible, must be heard as stoned as impossible, and thank you everybody" is still intact. A classic deserving of its cult." - FE.
