KALEIDOSCOPE – WHITE FACED LADY – 1971 (UK) progressive folk rock

This album was in fact made by the progressive encarnation of Kaleidoscope, whose name was Fairfield Parlour, though it was shelved and released only in 90's. In fact this one was recorded in 1971. The sound is different from psychedelic beginning, more folk and symphonic, though with some psychedelic influences still evident. The songs are mostly short. The album was made to be an opera-rock, with lyrics and a history of the concept in the booklet, about the life of the White-Faced Lady, a movie star that lived trying to achieve fame and love, but failing.
