Tom Mahairas - Seekers of the Truth
Original
release: Janco 7256, US 1972
Produced by Janco Productions, California
Songs on side 1 written and performed by Tom Mahairas
Spoken confessions on side 2 by Tom and Vicky Mahairas
Comments: A crossover LSD documentary
/ Christian "real people" wonderama, featuring mediocre
organ/guitar singer/songwriter Bible material on side 1, while side 2 is
devoted to "Tom's Testimony" (he drops acid and is sent away for
shock therapy by his parents, later finds God at a Christian summer camp),
"Vicky's testimony" (a self-confessed "simple person",
she tagged along for Tom's ride) and finally "Tom's message"
(drugs are bad, ecstatic bible-quoting Christianity is good). Pretty funny,
with awesome front cover and further anti-LSD confessions in the liner
notes.
The seasoned record dealer I got it from told me that "there's only 4 known copies of this LP, but then again only about 4
people in the world are interested in it."
