A post for Record Store Day<\/a>. “Psychedelic” is stretching things here but it’s a word that always grabs the attention. Let’s Pretend<\/em> was a series of fairy tale recordings released in the US in 1970 on the Stereo Dimension Records label. Each of the 25 recordings employs a radio show format, possibly because these were all radio recordings originally (there’s an older series of Let’s Pretend<\/em> radio shows<\/a> at the Internet Archive). Anyone desperate to experience one of them can listen to The Little Mermaid<\/em> here<\/a>. The sleeves are all illustrated by David Chestnutt in that post-Heinz Edelmann style that really ought to have a name of its own. Nice to see The Tinderbox<\/em><\/a> turn up again, Chestnutt’s magical hound is a distinctly benevolent creature.<\/p>\n

These sleeves were hoovered up from Discogs.com where some of them are only available in small images. If anyone finds a gallery of all 25 designs in decent quality then please leave a comment.<\/p>\n
