LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

The first ever official release of Craig Smith's psychedelic folk masterpiece 'Apache-Inca'.

In 1972, after changing his name to Maitreya Kali, Craig compiled and custom-pressed two LPs documenting his musical journey from 1967-72, including tracks with the Penny Arkade. Combined into a double album set, 'Apache-Inca' was given away or sold hand to hand on the street before Maitreya... and Craig... disappeared into the shadows. Only a handful of original copies are known to exist. The last time one was offered for sale, it went for over $10,000. Pirate copies routinely sell for over $400.

Released by arrangement with the Smith family, this lavish, top-of-the-line 2LP reissue is lovingly remastered and immaculately reproduced with all of its original artwork in a beautiful heavy duty tip-on gatefold jacket. Also includes a 16-page full-size booklet insert with rare photos, detailed liner notes, and reproductions of the original lyric sheet and poster artwork. Plus: a separate repro of the Maitreya pamphlet insert (with photos and writings), and an INCREDIBLE never-before-seen 'Inca' inner sleeve with Maitreya's own hand-drawn color artwork. Limited edition of 500 copies.
