Magic Potion - The Open Mind (1969)

The band 'The Open Mind' was formed in 1963 by four musicians from Putney, South West London, England. Initially named 'The Apaches' and formed by Tim du Feu, Mike Brancaccio and Philip Fox and their friend Ray Nye. Nye left in 1965 and another friend, Terry Schindler, joined instead. The band became 'The Drag Set', who 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/ August 1969 & released a self-titled LP which has since become a highly sought-after collectible. The band is best known for this.....well, some kind of illegal substance thing (1969) single, "Magic Potion", which actually did not appear on the album. The 'Open Mind' disbanded in 1973. It's members wanted to move more into jazz-influenced music, but by then The Open Mind was too well known as a psychedelic band. #1960smusic #1960ssongs #60s music
