DOWNLOAD NO.63 - GLENN CARDIER

Glenn Cardier was an Aussie folk troubadour of the early 1970s who is still releasing music today. His style is simple and melodic. One of his best songs “The Juggler” appeared as the B-side of a single with an A-side called “Every Wounded Bird” released in 1972 on the Infinity label through Festival Music. “The Juggler” has been released on K-Tel records and various early record compilations but to my knowledge it has not been on CD. “The Juggler” is presented here in near pristine condition. It is the edited 7" version, the album mix having a longer intro.

DOWNLOAD NO.62 - ROBBIE PORTER

During the 1960s Robbie Porter recorded under the name Rob E. G. His big instrumental hit in the early years was "55 Days in Peking".

Robbie had a solo vocal 7" single issued in 1970 called "Gemini". It has not made it to CD.

Following much early 1970's success with his Sparmac music label (first single issue was Zoom Gonk by Blue Forest), in 1973 Robbie formed a new partnership with Steve Binder resulting in the Wizard label.

Some of Australia's best known performers recorded for the label, from long established acts to major new successes. The label also had a subsidiary called Miracle Records.

Wizard also re-issued much of the Sparmac catalogue which Porter still owned.

Ten years after opening Wizard, he sold it to RCA music. Porter still has the master tapes of many Sparmac/Wizard recordings which have subsequently never been released.

This download is a full wave file of "Gemini" (a large file for such a short song).

Enjoy the quality!

DOWNLOAD NO.61 - RUSSELL MORRIS 12" / DAWN DIXON / THE STRANGERS

This is a great set of Oz mp3 hits included in a RAR file.

These were big hits mostly in Victoria as the majority of the artists came from that state.

Bouzouki – Dawn Dixon

Dawn recorded on the Fable label and had a fairly big hit with Bouzouki in Melbourne.

Looking Through The Eyes Of A Beautiful Girl – The Strangers

The Strangers had a big brassy version of the same single that Autumn covered (their version is on a previous download below). The Strangers recorded on the Fable label when this single was issued.

Mr. America (12" extended mix) – Russell Morris

Russell Morris has had someone extend his original 7" single with some extra editing etc. This version here is the extended 6 min version. I got this 12" mix on a CD from Brazil, of all places. Most of his hits were issued on the HMV label.

These are long lost OZ treasures.

ENJOY!
