Tamam Shud 1st Press OZ LP Evolution VG ’69 CBS SBP233761 Aussie Prog Surf Psych
Original OZ LP released in 1969 on the Orange and black CBS label. Cat: SBP 233761.Evolution is the name of an album and a surf film, both entwined by the very nature of the material and the musical group involved, Tamam Shud. Led by Lindsay Bjerre, the quartet of surfers-turned-musicians (or the other way around) were significant purveyors of the underground progressive music movement in Australia circa 1968- 1972. Though never chart contenders, Tamam Shud were prolific live performers and their contributions to some of the most adventurous surf films of the era pushed them to the forefront of Australia's underground music scene. For a group recently reborn, changing their name from The Sunsets, Paul Witzig's latest surf film was the idea vehicle to begin their recording career. In their previous life, The Sunsets had contributed soundtracks to Witzig's innovative genre films A Life In The Sun and The Hot Generation. Since the success of these films, the band itself was undergoing their own evolution. Like Witzig, they too were stretching out for total creative freedom. The subsequent sessions for the film soundtrack were just that; musical experiments unrestrained by any established parameters. The approach Tamam Shud took to create the Evolution soundtrack was to have the film screened on the recording studio wall while the augmented group matched the action with sound, performing, essentially, a free-form musical jam. The end results were compelling enough to discard any concept of a narration, a standard procedure for all previous surfing films. As a result, the film became a piece of art Ð a visual and musical experience.
