Item Description

Kahvas Jute ORIG OZ LP Wide Open EX 71 Infinity SINL934030 Prog Psyche

Rare Original OZ LP released in 1971 on Infinity Records. Cat: SINL934030. Comes in gloss gatefold sleeve. Rarely seen at all in this day and age and I can say in the 25 odd years I ve been selling records I have never seen a copy of this album in such lovely condition

This record came from a collection in absolutely stunning condition, many not played at all and most only played a few times at best.

Wide Open is a progressive rock milestone and a consummate example of underground psychedelic hard rock at its most inventive and powerful. As the title suggests, Wide Open is a free-flowing and expansive musical blending of rock, blues and jazz, and to leaven out the sound there s a touch of acid folk thrown in for good measure. It s a very English-influenced sound, but far from being a slavish copy of the overseas role model, the album bears a uniquely Australia flavour. It continues to be held as one of Australia s prime rock collectables.The tightly structured songs and the superb guitar work of Dennis Wilson Mecca and Tim Gaze Tamam Shud combine to stamp the record as a tour de force, where style, content, technique and sonic bearing, meet in perfect equilibrium. Furthermore, the whole shebang is held together by the restlessly exploratory bass lines of the great Bob Daisley Throb, Mecca, then later went on to a stellar international career with Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne, GaryMoore, Uriah Heep, Chicken Shack - the list is endless and the muscular, yet agile drum patterns of Dannie Davidson Tamam Shud, Band Of Light . Is it any wonder then that all these elements add up to make Wide Open one of the most sought-after artefacts of the entire Aussie progressive rock era?
