Between June 1972 to September 1973, the cafe and performance space became the nerve center for the city's burgeoning underground and counterculture set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHadaka No Rallizes, aka Les Rallizes Dénudés, the psychedelic noisemakers originally from Kyoto, was one of the marquee names at OZ. Led by the enigmatic Takashi Mizutani, the now-legendary band was one of the earliest bookings for the venue, and would ultimately close out \u003cem\u003eOZ Last Days\u003c\/em\u003e, a raucous five-day blowout to celebrate the short but wonderful world of OZ. To commemorate the occasion, recordings made at OZ were released as \u003cem\u003eOZ Days Live\u003c\/em\u003e, a private press 2LP set featuring Miyako Ochi, Acid Seven, Masato Minami, Taj Mahal Travellers, and four tracks by the Rallizes—which constituted just a fraction of what had been recorded at the time. For nearly 50 years, these songs remained the only official appearance of the Rallizes on vinyl LP—until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cem\u003eThe OZ Tapes\u003c\/em\u003e, we are finally able to hear the missing pieces. Stored on reels of Scotch analog recording tape, these recordings had laid dormant in storage for almost half a century. The previously unheard material reveals the Rallizes at some of their most unhinged and experimental, as well as moments of delicate tenderness — the two sides of Mizutani that would come to define his band's legacy. Taken as a whole, \u003cem\u003eThe OZ Tapes\u003c\/em\u003e help to demystify the band's murky history, yet this vibrant and seemingly relatively innocent era only hints at the explosive, uncharted worlds into which Mizutani would lead the band.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temporal Drift","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070251024431,"sku":"pyu1793065382867","price":31.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6751\/1087\/files\/les-rallizes-denudes---the-oz-tapes-2xlp_1.jpg?v=1793065387","url":"https:\/\/campinglanterns.shop\/products\/les-rallizes-denudes-the-oz-tapes-2xlp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
