Very soon we're about to hit a long stretch of exclusively Australian tracks, today's has 7 of the 10, the next one following ( #115 ) is all from OS, but after that it's a big stretch of Aussieness....

Starting today with a b-side for Pel Mel ( the other side of Blind Lead The Blind ), for a few reasons, mostly that the a side is on the Out Of Reason album and that I prefer the b-side Water anyway ( not to be confused with Head Above Water, the single released after this one by Pel Mel ). While we're on the subject of b-side versus a-side, same case with the Shrinking Violets ( it's the other side of Everything )...again a purely personal aural selection.

Second out of the gate(s) today is Tiny Town ( aka Tinytown ) their 3rd single, the Red Eye re-issue of Steve Kilbey's first solo single and then The Cannanes from ( my usual hazy memory and too lazy to look it up mind' eyes ) their 3rd 7" ( not forgetting the cassettes in & around it ) ( one day I'll get the cassettes sorted....when I'm about 80)

The others in the track list are easy to figure I hope...and I have to plead forgiveness - citing my often alluded to early senility / memory loss for the lack of info on AT Wells, other than it was a 3-track Waterfront ep...I'll try and channel my inner 1985 and get back to you if anything springs to mind !!

hope you likem, enjoy :)

#113

Hi again, firstly it's a French radio promo from Mood Six, the normal release being a 12", then out of Canberra it's Young Docteurs ( Mk II ), the 2nd single from The Chairs ( UK ) and then what I consider to be The Hit Parade's best.

3 Aussie tracks follow - 2 Perth bands on the Easter Recs label and another single from ( Curious ) Yellow ( who we really recently played on #109 ), though this time not produced by Steve Kilbey.

Then the Jane song which I have burnt in my head from another version of it - eg the Opus III version, Third Circle from Leeds and latter day Railway Children.

have a good one :)
