Cheers. Your work here, in documenting & promoting Oz post punk is at least as fearsome as Mitchell Johnson this summer vs the Poms. I am continually amazed at the date of so many seminal Oz singles and notice they coincide with many such moments in Blighty. Some that predate. Others that innovate.
The old bloke on the cover, does anyone have any info on him? I think he might have hung around Redfern park in the early 80s. If it is him, he spoke a number of languages and a few of the the local shops would accept leaves from him as currency. I remember him walking around wearing a dress and smoking a cigar.
Think you know a lot about Australian records in the punk era? We promise to astonish you with stuff off everybody's radar. We apply quality control so our powerpop has power, our glam has prominent balls, our punk is spiky and our DIY is far, far out there. We'll also do it-never-ends exposés of sleeve variations and inserts you didn't know existed. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

Thank you for this brief wonder ;-) How's the rest of the 7'' (and their other 7'')?

Thankyou & rock on.
Thanks Tim and Holly.
In answer to your question Holly, as always we bring you the cream of the crap - this is the only listenable track from both 3 Musketeers 7"s.
