Spirit (Spirit Album)
Spirit's self-titled, experimental debut album was marked by Randy California's eclectic writing style, Syd Barrett's psychotropism and Jim Morrison's West Coast bohemianism. The result was commercially unsuccessful, but garnered underground FM airtime. The band later curtailed its psychedelia and focused on a broader array of genres.
The album was first published by Ode Records in 1968. It has since been reprinted by Sony, repackaged in compact-disc form and remastered from original analogue tapes.

Famous quotes containing the word spirit:
“One swiftly forgets his intolerable writing, his mirthless, sedulous, repellent manner, in the face of the Athenian tragedy he instills into his seduced and soul-sick servant girls, his barbaric pirates of finances, his conquered and hamstrung supermen, his wives who sit and wait. He has, like Conrad, a sure talent for depicting the spirit in disintegration.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
