Reviews:

Spirit's self-titled debut album is one whose multifarious experimentalism owes a lot to the contemporary successes of The Beatles' ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' and Pink Floyd's ''The Piper at the Gates of Dawn''. It marked the humble beginnings and grand aspirations of its eponymous authors. While the mindset required to produce ''Spirit'' was ubiquitous, the endeavour itself was far from clichéd. The eclecticism of Randy California's writing coupled Barrett's psychotropism with Morrison's West Coast bohemianism; and although the result proved somewhat inaccessible to the masses, it made the project ripe for underground FM airtime. The band would later curtail its psychedelia, focusing on a broader array of genres.

This release was published first by Ode records in 1968. It has since been reprinted by Sony–repackaged in compact-disc form and remastered from original analogue tapes. - Wikipedia
