#77

Kicking off with the debut from Australian Crawl, a Brian Eno produced Carmel single and a Melbourne 3 piece Two Way Garden - the first ever release on the Au-Go-Go label outa Melbourne.

Then we hear The Chameleons ( who despite claims otherwise i do know who they are ), after which Richard Clapton has a turn producing INXS and John Robie 'remixes' Barney and the lads ( apparentely with a bland cover because Factory designer Peter Saville hated the song ). Then the Mighty Lemon Drops spend up big on studio time and come up with something overproduced, then it's off to a studio of vastly smaller nature - M Squared in Sydney - with Patrick Gibson twiddling knobs on the desk for Sydney band 3 Muskteers, and even helping out on backing vocals ( what a guy ! ).

Then Mssrs Bridie and Phillips et al with somethin' which I always wondered what the f**k they were ever on about on this single....nothing's changed...which then leads us into an old chestnut from The Swingers with our old friend David Tickle producin'

enjoy :)
