Tamam Shud Evolution 1969 LP

 

Original 1969 Australian CBS pressing.

 

NB – This should be regarded as a playable filler copy. It is clean and listenable but can’t really be rated any better than ‘Good’. Tracks at 2g and will not damage equipment. (See ‘Condition’)

 

Tamam Shud evolved out of the Sydney / Australian underground scene. After the great 1st album "Evolution" in 1969 they recorded one year later their masterpiece, the "Goolutionites...” album with Dannie Davidson on drums, Peter Barron on bass, Lindsay Bjerre on guitar and a very young Tim Gaze (later in Kahvas Jute) on guitar also.

 

Australia has had a vibrant music scene for many years. The 60’s produced many great Aussie bands like the Wild Cherries, the Twilights, the Easybeats, the Loved Ones, Tully, and the Masters’ Apprentices, among others. Tamam Shud came out of the ashes of The Sunsets, who released several decent garage rock singles before their transformation.

The band’s name was taken from a Persian phrase meaning “the very end” which founder Lindsay Bjerre took from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Tamam Shud began playing popular festivals and clubs in or around 1967/1968 and were one of Australia’s first genuine acid rock bands (although it’s important to note that Australia’s surf culture played an important influence). Their first album, Evolution, was released in 1969 and was hailed as Australia’s first original album. (©therisingstorm.net)
