Oz Days Live (3cd+book)
'OZ Days Live' was originally released in 1973 as a private press two-disc set. Over the course of its short existence from June 1972 to September 1973, the cafe and performance space became the center for the city's burgeoning underground and counterculture set. Now, 50 years after OZ first opened its doors, here comes 'OZ Days Live '72-'73 Kichijoji: The 50th Anniversary Collection', a reconfigured special edition of the original LP. Available as a 3CD set, the collection includes all the tracks from the recently released Les Rallizes Dénudés' 'The OZ Tapes', plus bonus tracks from the same sessions that were first released in 2022 on a limited edition 12". The set also includes newly remastered versions of the Masato Minami and Miyako Ochi tracks from the original release, plus over 40 minutes of previously unreleased OZ recordings from Acid Seven, newly unearthed from reel-to-reel tapes that had been stored away for half a century by OZ manager Minoru Tezuka. A newly written 100-page history, compiled from hours of interviews, provides first-hand accounts of what made the OZ scene so special.
