Open Up Your Mind covers the first two incredible years of Rembrandt Records, a Chicago based label. The first release in March 1966 was a bluesy garage-band novelty record titled “Boots Are Made For Talkin’ ”. It was a parody of Nancy Sinatra’s, smash hit at the time, “These Boots Are Made For Walking”. When the single failed to chart Rembrandt Records’ owner Reggie Weiss moved in a different direction, merging pop with psychedelic music, for the next single, “Open Up Your Mind”. He wrote the song based on a LSD trip and response to the single was positive. Soon other psych-pop singles were issued featuring The Circus, The Nickel Bag, and Monday’s Children. 22 tracks to blow your mind.
