A propos de cet article

VHS Tape in elaborately hand-painted VHS box with Ken Kesey signature to box. Tape #1971. Comes in original mailing box, dated 2000, from Ken Kesey's home business in Pleasant HIll, OR. Laid in: Billing and signed letter written by Ken Babbs from Intrepid Trips thanking the buyer for their purchase and promoting an Episode 2, which is never produced. Letter is hand-signed by "Ken and Ken", with each "Ken" signed in different scripts (presumably Ken Kesey and Ken Babbs). A 56-minute VHS tape recording the adventures of Furthur, Kesey's painted bus, as the Merry Pranksters, including Kesey, Ken Babbs, Neal Cassady and others, prepare a retro-fitted school bus and begin an acid-fueled trip across the country. Filmed in 1964 but not released for 25 years. These psychedelic on-the-road adventures are also documented in Tom Wolfe's "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test." "This recording begins just after Ken Kesey finished writing "Sometimes a Great Notion" with the publication party planned for June in Manhattan ("Madhattan"). The whole group decided to go along traveling across America. They bought a bus, put a sound system into it and bought movie making supplies. They decided to record the whole trip on film. This is the first episode of the trip." (from WorldCat).
