MINTY CLEAN... Long gone, high quality 25+ years ago U.K. made ... the rare first issued 2nd-press from master tapes of 1969 holy grail *mega - monster* rated British psych gem ... first pressings have fetched on this side of $2000, so the 'something' brewing within is pretty...heavy.

Includes the original printed inner sleeve

This high quality audio sound will quickly make most collectors satisfied to own, with everything considered ... includes the massive killer non Lp 45 "MAGIC POTION" b/w "Cast A Spell" the former which blew many minds when first appeared out of nowhere on an obsure British psych comp some 20 years ago....

One of the best-loved British psychedelic albums of all time, The Open Mind is a hard-rocking collection that sold in micro- numbers on its original release in 1969.

The band was formed in the mid 1960s by four musicians from South London. Initially named The Drag Set, they released a little-known single in February 1967, "Day and Night"/"Get Out of My Way". Shortly thereafter, they changed their name to The Open Mind and in July 1969 released a self-titled LP which has since become a highly sought-after collectible. The band, however, is best known for its druggy August 1969 single, "Magic Potion", which did not appear on the album. click on this line for the listening experience:>

The OPEN MIND are not afraid to mix things up, with their odd harmonies and rhythm changes. Within their hard edge crunch, there is also some cool fuzz guitar, driving bass and drums. The vocal harmonies, at times, almost sound like they are switching keys from what the instruments are doing. The singer is a musician and not just fronting the band.
The songs are ALL great....

Timothy du Feu - bass guitar
Phil Fox - drums
