[@markpearson4693]

Kaleidoscope are one of THE most wonderful bands EVER! One of the very few bands that really say " Psychedelic " far more than the usual suspects (Beatles Etc ) . The songs simply stay in your Head - forever ! many thanks to band from this 58 Year old Psychedelic fan since i was 17 . kaleidoscope made up for the accident of being born 10 years too late for hearing it the 1st time around . Truly lovely music by a hyper talented bunch of musicians . All power !!!

I nearly fell off my chair when I saw this.... Kaleidoscope, France Gall and Serge Gainsbourg in one clip! Anglo-French Pastoral Psychedelic Yé-Yé! If only they had performed Sky Children, I could have left the planet a happy man! Huge kudos to you for archiving and sharing this!

[@tomdonnelly6156]

Not only France Gall and Gainsbourg but the brunette at the start is Haydée Politoff, who'd just starred in the Eric Rohmer movie, La Collectionneuse.

[@desertjinn3311]

PERFECTION. They are at the top of the list for amazing pop psych.

[@michaelviner8303]

The young lady next to France Gall is the equally lovely actress Haydee Politoff, who starred in Marcel Carne's swinging 60's gem 'Les Jeune Loups'(1967) that year.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

Michael Viner Good info! both french chicks was like a "menage a trois".

Caught right away too! La Collectioneuse is one of my favorite films.

[@markayeowell]

I met Ed Pumer who played guitar in the band. He lived in Bungay, England for the last few years of his life . He talked about working with Kate Bush, Mcartney and others.

Nice one take care.cheers Dan keep rockin

[@brucefournier2391]

Interesting: vocalist Daltrey explains the 'meaning' of 'Flight From Ayesha'. Serge G is 'in the house'. Forward a few years to the classic, the 'History of Melody Nelson'. The song 'Cargo Culte', where Melody dies, lost in a plane crash... was Serge taking notes? Great clip, thank you.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

FRANCE GALL looks so GORGEOUS here. One of the MORE UNDERRATED PSYCHEDELIC POP BANDS of the 60s. No doubt.

Wow, Jacques Dutronc interviewing Kaleidoscope with France Gall and Gainsbourg on piano! What tv show is this from?

[@adamwheway2492]

For French pop fans you've got France Gall and I think Mireille Darc, plus of course Serge Gainsbourg, and I think it's Jacques Dutronc doing the brief interview. All big stars in their day in France.

[@lallabeat]

No, the conductor is not Jacques Dutronc, he just has got similar hair and nose ;-)

@@lallabeat I think he was President Rosko.

[@matthunter4868]

This band has Bauhaus vibes! The album this comes off of happens to be one of my top three favorite British psych records the other two being 'Days of Future Passed' and 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn'. I also like the guitarist here who's sporting the mother of all combovers!😆

I fantasize , like these two Kaleidoscope's songs could have prefectly been inside Michelangelo Antonioni's "Blow Up" Original Soundtrack, but maybe the film was already done by the time "Flight from Ayesha" and "Holiday Maker" were recorded. Anyway, it is MY great fantasy.

I prefer the Kaleidoscope U.S., much more acid, folk and psychedelic, or imposing bands like Moby Grape, Salvation, The Youngbloods, The Byrds, Iron Butterfly, The Sparrow, Buffalo Springfield and many others from California, that much more representative and more rockers. The band Kaleidoscope of Great Britain, is much more like a light psychedelic pop group.
