- Craig Smith / Maitreya Kali: Apache Inca
(2025, 2lp + 7”, --, maitreya apache music)
Craig Smith, changed his name to Maitreya Kali in the late 1960s. He recorded and privately released a 2 LP set in 1972 entitled “Apache Inca”.
In fact, these were two separate albums, but they got issued as a 2 LP gatefold release.
The back of the “Apache” record sleeve included a message by Frank Zappa:
“Voodoo Spell” is probably the best item on this tape.
-- Frank Zappa
The album got re-issued in 2019 in the U.S.
Counterfeits have also been spotted. Both on vinyl and on cd:
(2019, 2lp, Germany, little Indians)
(2020, 2cd, Germany, shadoks music)
In 2025, Record Store Day saw a more luxurious re-release with the 2 LP set housed in a slipcase, adding a booklet, an insert and an additional 7” record.
