| about.. | |
| This very belated release is by way of a thank you to those rock ’n’ roll soldiers that kept the whole thing moving for Spectrum and Ariel i.e. the roadies. With no thought for the future they all too often burnt out with no-one to care for them in their dotage. These days roadies are represented by Support Act and ARCA (Australian Road Crew Association) that now and then discovers desk tapes like this one, Ariel LIVE at Martini’s 1976, a snapshot of the band taken not long before the bevy of sentimental Aloha-type farewells at the Dallas Brooks Hall and Adelaide. $25 + postage |

TO
BUY THIS CD, CLICK THE 'ADD TO CART' ICON |
| about.. | |
| The
first and possibly most 'progressive' set of all the Spectrum releases,
the original vinyl release of Spectrum Part One on EMI's prestigious
Harvest label was notorious for not including the band's hit
single I'll Be Gone / Launching Place Part ll (at Rudd's
behest). This Aztec Music CD release makes up for that by including three different versions of the I'll Be Gone recording plus a number of other bonus tracks. $25 + postage |

| about.. | |
| Milesago
was one of the earliest double albums of the era and probably the earliest
Australian double album with all original material. The gatefold cover
by Ian McCausland remains suggestive without giving too much away about
the diversity of the content. This diversity could be considered to be
the genesis of Rudd's later strategy in creating The Indelible Murtceps. Bonus tracks add to an already crammed binge session. $30 + postage |

Ian McCausland and Rudd / Putt songs shooting this way and that. $15 + postage |

| Melbourne
author Craig Horne has done a marvellous job making my life (so far) in the Oz
musical sphere sound pretty interesting and the contextual '70s'
Melbourne references provide a fascinating backdrop. 'The song' as mentioned in the book's title may not have actually captured the entire generation, but is modest licence when compared to other biographies. Why not suck it and see? $30 + postage |
