SUPER HARD to find THIS CLEAN...Original RARE US privavate press from 1974, chok full of thrilling cool strange psych, garage & prog moves with sound effects and the whole works... The fragile delicate light pink cover is incredibly hard to find clean -- this copy is TOP notch and includes the elusive large 17 page lyrics booklet

OKINAWA is astonishingly full of weirdness that falls somewhere in Syd Barret-era Floydland: some psychedelia, some flipped-out Zappa-esque sound effects, some bizarre theatrics — even mellotron, but all around inventive and well-crafted...

Okinawa was the first LP recorded by the Baltimore group OHO. It was a private release in 1974. OHO started in late 1973 in Baltimore on the ashes of the band Little Hans. They played experimental psychedelic and progressive rock in a unique progressive style of Oho should appeal to fans of the Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, King Crimson school of progressive music as well as those looking for something original, psychedelic and/or bizarre and daring. Were they musical geniuses or just completely zonked out on acid? An album of this and you'll be ready to be carried away to the tangerine jungle of marshmallow madness. 

"Okinawa" was released in July, 1974 to less than enthusiastic response, offending the conservative Baltimore community with its rawness and disregard for convention. "Okinawa" was one of the first albums released independently by an American band in the '70s. Some say they were Baltimore's answer to early Pink Floyd -- but it goes beyond that ...The group went through a series of harrowing experiences with individuals who said they could sell the album and ended up throwing most of them away, relegating this great original album to its current staple status on the collector circuit where it usually commands a substantial $$$minimum bid.
