DOWNLOAD NO.42 - THE BEACHCOMBERS

WE HAD A LOT OF INTERESTING BANDS IN NEWCASTLE N.S.W. ONE OF THEM WAS THE BEACHCOMBERS. THEY WERE NAMED AFTER A LOCAL HOTEL WHERE THEY PLAYED AND IN SOME CASES, WHEN NEEDED THEY WERE FINANCED BY THE OWNER OF THE HOTEL.

THEY HAD 3 SINGLES AND 1 ALBUM:

45s:
1: Sing My Song / Gone Gone Gone (RCA Australia) (1970)
2: Song For Happy (RCA Australia) (1974)
3: Cruisin' (RCA Australia) (1975)

ALBUM:
The Beachcombers (RCA Australia) (1975)

THE SINGLE WHICH STARTED THEIR RUN HAD A "B" SIDE WHICH CHARTED EQUALLY AS WELL AS THE "A" SIDE.

HERE IS THE ULTRA RARE "B" SIDE "GONE GONE GONE".

  1. Enjoyed the Beachcombers at club in Kurri Kurri.
    They had a great sound & the vocals that Robyn produced were beautiful.
    Oh, how I miss those days.
