sick compilation of Japanese underground Psych-rock from 1973. Its called "Oz Days" because it's a compilation of the last few shows The Oz Rock Cafe hosted before it got shut down.
Some particularly great jams from Les Rallizes Dénudés that are just really laid-back and trippy. Kind of a "must hear" for anyone who's into stoner-rock awesomeness. There's also a really cool 22 minute-long song by Taj Mahal Travelers that's an eerie swirl of Eastern-sounding violin and droning voices. Just downright creepy and really fucking cool. I would have loved to actually see Taj Mahal play this song live. There are other bands on this album, and though they should be listened to, they're not as impressive. One of these bands, Miyako Ochi, plays some pretty fun 50's and 60's rock and bop shit, if u know what I mean, and its pretty fun to listen to. They even do a pretty sick cover of Twist and Shout.
All in all, this is a really interesting (and rare) slice of 1970s Japanese underground psychedelia, and should definitely be listened to.
