JULIE DRISCOLL, BRIAN AUGER AND THE TRINITY-OPEN-1967-FIRST PRESS UK-MARMALADE-6080002, Matrices A-2/B-1. A very rare British original of the cult group. In 1967, Trinity released their debut album Open on the Gomel Marmalade label, which was intentionally recorded "live" in the studio. Despite Odger's exciting improvisations and Driscoll's strong vocals, the album went unnoticed. However, the single This Wheel's On Fire - a cover version of Dylan's song unknown to a wide audience at that time - released in the early summer of 1968, produced the effect of an exploding bomb and rose to 5th place in the charts. He forced the audience listening to the albums to pay attention to Open, which, with great delay, also entered the charts. Julie Driscoll, with her extravagant image and radical views, became the subject of increased interest from the press, and also received several offers to star in a movie.
