Item Description

Band Of Light Rare OZ LP The archer EX 74 Warner 600011 Prog Psyche Tamam Shud

Rare Original OZ LP released in 1974 on the Green Warner Records Label. Cat: 600011. Comes in a gatefold sleeve.

This record came from a collection in absolutely stunning condition, many not played at all and most only played a few times at best.

Band of Light was a blues-based Sydney group, formed in October 1972 by Phil Key, with bassist Peter Roberts, who had both just left The La De Das. Phil Key was of course a founder member, the rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist in that legendary band. Peter Roberts was a more recent member he joined in late 1970 and helped to revitalise the group during a difficult period, after their disastrous English trip and the departure of original bassist Trevor Wilson. Their distinctive blues-rock sound was built around the dual slide guitar work of Key and their other superb guitarist, Norm Roue who had come from Sydney band Gutbucket . Peter Roberts left after only three shows and was replaced by Ian Rilen, who was to become a fixture on the Australian rock scene in the 70s and 80s. The band worked consistently on the Sydney and Melbourne pub/festival/dance circuits, alongside other staple acts of the day like Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, Carson, Coloured Balls, Chain, Madder Lake and Buffalo. They continued to be a popular live draw throughout into 1974, but in mid-year, on the verge of recording their second album, Rilen, Roue and Buettel all left the band. Phil called on Billy Williams bass, ex Classic Affair and Dannie Davidson drums, ex-Tamam Shud, Kahvas Jute to replace Rilen and Buettel and cut the record, which was titled The Archer and released later in the year.
