It might not merit the "classic" status dealers apply to it, but it won't disappoint either.1 2 6 (One Two Six) (1) 10 CC (3) 100 Club (6) 17 From Morden (1) 1910 Fruitgum Co (8) 2 i's Coffee Bar (1) 2131 South Michigan Avenue (2) 23rd Turnoff (1) 4 Fellows (1) 49th Parallel (1) 8.05 (1) 94 Baker StreetT Revisited (1) A 3 (1) A Band Of Angels (15) A Box Of Frogs (11) A Fistfull Of Fuzz (1) A Gathering Of The Tribes (5) A History of Garage And Frat Bands In Memphis (1) A Million Dollars Worth of Girl Groups (3) A Wild Uncertainty (4) Aaron Neville (1) Aaron Nevilles (2) Aaron Williams (1) Abracadabra (4) Absynthe (2) Accent (1) ACDC (2) Ace Keffords Stand (3) Achyll Poiret (1) Acid Visions (1) Acker Bilk (10) ACME Records (1) Action Speaks Louder Than Words (1) actor (25) Actress (21) Adam Mike and Tim (3) Adam Faith (43) Adam Faith And The Roulettes (17) Adam Wade (1) Adriano Celentano (6) Adrienne Poster (12) Aeroplane (2) Aerosmith (1) Affinity (3) After Life (4) After Shave (1) After Tea (3) Age Tendre (1) Agitation Free (2) Agression (2) Al Cooper (1) Al Green (5) Al Jardine (2) Al Kooper (3) Al Martino (1) Al Savage (1) Al Stewart (2) Alain Delon (3) Alan Dean And His Problems (3) Alan Freed (9) Alan Jack Civilization (7) Alan Kendall (1) Alan Parsons (1) Alan Price (5) Alan Price Set (30) Alan Stivell (7) Albert King (3) Albion Country Band (2) Alex Harvey (11) Alexander's Rock Time Band (1) Alexis Kanner (2) Alexis Korner (8) Alice (14) Alice Clark (1) Alice Cooper (3) Alix (1) All Of Thus (1) Alligators (1) Alma Cogan (13) Alphabet (1) Alvin Cash And The Registrers (1) Alvin Lee (14) Alvin Robinson (2) Alvin Stardust (1) Amazing Blondel (2) Ame Son (4) Amen Corner (25) Amon Duul (8) Amon Duul II (9) Amos Milburn (1) And Now !!!. Still, as a whole, this album is a solid product of the time. Unfortunately, "Magic Potion" is the benchmark that everything they wrote is compared to, and when a song is that good, nothing else measures up.

However, both the heavier and mod styles work well, but where they fall down is on some rather laborious numbers that just don't take off.
Magnificent! "Girl, I'm So Alone" - a remake of early Open Mind lineup, mod band the Drag Set's "Get out of My Way" - harks back to a 1967 feel, as do a number of other songs that show the band being not quite as progressive as they intended. Its monotonous rhythm guitar anticipates the stoner rock of Hawkind while double bass drum fills and doom-laden fuzz guitar ragas combine bombastic rock power with Eastern-influenced psychedelia. "Magic Potion" is unarguably their greatest moment. With a singing style rooted in the freakbeat era, rather than the operatic tenor screams hard rock ushered in, and acidic duel guitars, heavier than those of a typical psychedelic act, The Open Mind filled the gap between the beginning of one era and the end of another. psychedelic/progressive rock crossover, the Open Mind's sole album is the perfect specimen.
