Peter Pan & the Good Fairies: Brace for the Obscure (60s rock)! — July 1, 2022

THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE 1960s THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD

502) Peter Pan & the Good Fairies — “Kaleidoscope”

One of the great psychedelic instrumentals. John “Mojo” Mills said of the comp from which I plucked “Kaleidoscope” that it contains “the kind of incidental music to be heard during the trip scene of drug-ploitation flicks and no-budget sci-fi TV shows.” (https://www.allmusic.com/album/buzz-buzz-buzzzzzz-vol-2-mw0000088482). Ah, “Psych-Out”! They sure don’t make movies like that anymore. Hey, wait, Quentin, I have a screenplay!

Who is Peter Pan? Technicolor Web of Sound says:

Very little is known of this presumed to be studio concoction that issued one outstanding instrumental 45 . . . on the Challenge label in 1967. The record was the brainchild of a Jim Gordon . . . who would later go on to cut a respectable instrumental solo LP in 1969. It should also be noted that, contrary to popular belief this is not the same Jim Gordon of Derek & The Dominos fame.
