"Produced by legendary rock producer, Tony Reeves (ex-Colosseum bassist), Open Road were the very first progressive group to be signed to the Greenwich Gramophone Company (a subsidiary of Chapter One Records) in 1971. Their music reflects feelings of anti-establishment prevalent amongst the young at that time, and was quite visionary in its approach.

i'm not familiar with this group or the recording, but it sounds interesting. i look forward to hearing it. thank you much.
It might be of interesting not to include the fact that Carr and Thomson had previously comprised 2/3 of Donovan's backing band on the wonderful Open Road album (1970). Perhaps we can loosely surmise the origin of the band name...?
