Description:

[ERA : 70s / Pror-Rock ] Tamam Shud were formed after the break up of beat/R&B band The Sunsets. The band was ostensibly a vehicle for singer and songwriter Lindsay Bjerre (whose burgeoning interest in the acid-rock experience had precipitated The Sunset's demise). Bjerre christened the new band Tamam Shud (means "the very end") which was taken from the closing words of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The band's first release was the 1968 soundtrack to Paul Witzig's groundbreaking surf film 'Evolution' and brought them to the attention of Warner Brothers who offered them a deal. The band, with a key line-up change in teenage guitar prodigy Tim Gaze (just 15 when he joined!), recorded their masterpiece, the concept album 'Goolutionites and the Real People' in 1970. Ian McFarlane calls it "one of the truly great Aussie progressive rock albums" and it also distinguished them as one of the first local bands to tackle environmental issues in their songs. It is now extremely rare and one of the most collectable albums of the period. Following 'Goolutionites', Tamam Shud contributed three tracks to another surf classic : Alby Falzon's legendary surf film 'Morning of the Earth' in 1972. These tracks are included in the deluxe reissue, along with their 1972 non-LP single "I Got A Feeling" / "My Father Told Me" and four previously unreleased live tracks from Melbourne's Regent Theatre in 1971. 'Goolutionites', with the aforementioned nine bonus tracks, comes in a 6 panel digi-pak, digitally remastered by Gil Matthews, with liner notes by Ian McFarlane and a 24 page book with rare photos. / Tracks : The Goolutionites (and the Real People) * They'll take You Down on the Lot * I Love You All * Heaven is Closed * A Plague * Stand in the Sunlight * Take a Walk on a Foggy Morn * Goolutionites Theme Part 1 * Goolutionites Theme Part 2 * BONUS TRACKS : SINGLE JANUARY 1972 - I Got a Feeling * My Father Told Me * 'MORNING OF THE EARTH' SOUNDTRACK - First Things First * Bali Waters * Sea the Swells * LIVE AT THE REGENT THEATRE, SOUTH YARRA, DECEMBER 1971 - Midday 'Til Four * Bali Waters * Being Absolutely Free * Bow Wow
