HERE IS AN OZ SONG WHICH HAS BEEN LOCKED AWAY FOR MANY YEARS WAITING FOR ITS MOMENT TO SHINE. IT HAS NEVER MADE IT TO C.D.IF YOU EVER WENT TO ONE OF THE LIVE SYDNEY GIGS WHERE MARC HUNTER AND DRAGON PERFORMED AS THE HEADLINE ACT YOU MAY HAVE ACTUALLY HEARD THIS SONG. IT IS BY A SMALL BLACKTOWN BASED BAND CALLED THE REJECTS.
THE REJECTS WERE A SUPPORT ACT FOR DRAGON WHEN THEY WENT WEST OF THE HARBOUR BRIDGE. THEIR LEAD SINGER AND SONG WRITER, ARCHIE BROWNE, WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR WRITING ONE OF DRAGON'S ALBUM TRACKS. HE SOMETIMES GIGGED WITH DRAGON AND BY ALL ACCOUNTS WAS GOOD FRIENDS WITH THE BAND.
ARCHIE AND HIS BAND'S FIRST SINGLE WAS CALLED "ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS" AND COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN MISTAKEN FOR A DRAGON TRACK AS IT SOUNDS MUCH LIKE THEIR MATERIAL.
ARCHIE BROWNE IS A BROTHER-IN-LAW OF MY BROTHER GEOFF. THANKS TO GEOFF FOR MAKING THIS FIND POSSIBLE.
THERE IS A 'B' SIDE OF THIS 45 RPM BUT IT WILL STAY A HIDDEN GEM UNLESS YOU KNOW ARCHIE PERSONALLY!
