"Nach langer Zeit wieder erhältlich, das 1970er Spoken Word Album des LSD Propheten TIMOTHY LEARY. Auf "You Can Be Anyone This Time Around" finden sich neben seinen visionären und philosophischen Anschauungen die unvergleichliche Jam Session "Live and Let Live" Mit STEPHEN STILLS, JOHN SEBASTIAN, BUDDY MILES und JIMI HENDRIX am Baß. Die originale, ungeschnittene und unzensierte Vision eines scharfen Denkers //
For a long time a hard to find collectable record, this historical spoken word album by LSD prophet Timothy Leary has now finally been reissued. Leary's raps and monologues, structured on an intersections of famous tunes of the time (the album was originally released in 1970 on Douglas) might sound outdated today and too linked to a specific weltanschauung that was the basis of Leary's modern age philosophy. But this is probably the reason why You Can Be Anyone This Time Around retains its interest in current times: it's the original, uncut, uncensored vision of a sharp thinker who has been often easily scorned for his extreme takes on drug use. Musically speaking, side B 'Live and Let Live,' offers an unforgettable jam session in the background with Stephen Stills, John Sebastian, Buddy Miles and Jimi Hendrix on bass." [press release]
