Acid Dreams - History

History

In 1979, a Berlin record shop owner issued Acid Dreams and pressed only 77 copies. The album was primarily available in his store, though some copies were shipped to friends or label owners. The album was heavily bootlegged, and in 1988, a compilation titled Acid Dreams Testament collected 13 of the original's 18 tracks, and added 15 more songs. Past & Present Records reissued Acid Dreams in February 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “There is no example in history of a revolutionary movement involving such gigantic masses being so bloodless.”
    —Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    “American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
