SYDNEY POP OUTFIT THE AUTUMN HAD A LOVELY, BRIGHT AND HAPPY, VERSION OF "LOOKING THRU THE EYES OF A BEAUTIFUL GIRL" AND SO FAR IT HAS ONLY APPEARED ONCE ON C.D. IN 2009.THE ORIGINAL 7" VINYL SINGLE WAS RELEASED ON CHART RECORDS WHICH WAS A SUBSIDIARY OF FESTIVAL. IT GOT TO #13 NATIONALLY IN 1971.
IN MELBOURNE AND OTHER STATES A BIG BAND VERSION OF THE SONG WAS GIVEN CHART ACTION BY THE POP GROUP THE STRANGERS. THEIR VERSION HAS APPEARED ON A CANETOAD "BEST OF THE STRANGERS" C.D.
The Autumn's mono single version of "Looking Thru The Eyes" was on a compilation C.D. called "On the Prowl-Australian Pop of the 70's" - Vol 2 - Various (Sony).
AT THE END OF THIS BLOG IS A VERSION OF "SONG TO RAYMONDO" WHICH ONLY APPEARED ON THE 7" SINGLE. THE SINGLE VERSION OF THIS SONG IS MUCH SLICKER AND BETTER PRODUCED THAN THE VERSION WHICH WAS PUT ON THE ACCOMPANYING ALBUM.
ELSEWHERE ON THIS SITE IS AUTUMN'S OTHER WORK DONE WITH DAVE ALLENBY. THE SONG "SHE WORKS IN A WOAMN'S WAY" WAS A MASSIVE HIT IN SYDNEY.
BELOW IS THE EXTENDED TOM MIX VERSION OF "LOOKING THRU THE EYES OF A BEAUTIFUL GIRL" LOVINGLY CONVERTED AND REMIXED FROM VINYL:

You have come up trumps again with this one! The Autumn also did a wonderful version of Yellow River if my memory serves me correctly. Gra
