They appeared on Bandstand and other shows of the era as pop singers but in their later career they concentrated on singing two types of music: country and western!

Tim & Debbie - "Australia You're Standing In It"

Just some info for youse all:

Maryanne Davidson is the daughter of Frankie Davidson. Frankie wrote this track for his daughter in the 1980s.

Clayton Davis is technically not an Oz artist but everyone else on the record is.

Digi.Tal is a Leon Burger production.

Billy Thorpe's song is a demo restored from a cassette.

Pam Burridge, surfing superstar, is the lead singer of Pam and The Pashions.

Angela Pepper went to school with my wife at Newcastle Girl's High. Her first group was called "The Hereafter" and they won a local talent show. After finishing school she went to Sydney and got a job as the vocalist for a punk band called "The Passengers". They had a single out called "Face With No Name". She married Radio Birdman co-founder Deniz Tek and they worked together in the Angie Pepper Band with a young Clyde Bramley who went into the Hoodoo Gurus and a former Saints' drummer, Ivor Hay. Their single "Frozen World" was recorded in 1984 - her work from both bands has been issued on a Citadel CD in 2001 called "It's Just That I Miss You".

Chullora Junction's track "3801" is about the steam train that used to go through Newcastle to Sydney.

Allan Caswell has written some very cute and funny songs over the years, one being "G'day" which is used in most primary schools as your typical Oz song for greeting foreigners. "The Australia's Cup" is a humourous look at the yachting fraternity.

The Cobbers run their own music and lyric site and have many pages of info at: http://www.cobbersbushband.com/the_songs.htm

Peter Wells passed away in 2006. He was a member of the groups Buffalo and Rose Tattoo to name a few. He was an excellent slide guitarist.

Gaetano Scollo played "Albie Wilde". The Dayglos were Fiona Corke "Gail", Nick Carrafa "Tony" and Annie Jones "Jane". The flip side of this record has a "Midnight Mix" version.

Colin Cook had numerous hits in the 1960s. But this 1980s rocker got ignored. The flip side has an extended version of the track called "Be Bop & Blue Suede Shoes".

The Adrian Campbell song "Listen To The Radio" is a Peter Best number.

The D Generation and Tim & Debbie tracks are TV themes.

Vixen was a loud all girl Oz group recorded by Festival records, not to be confused with another group from America.

XL Capris had a goodly sized Sydney hit with "WW3" but none of their other 4 single charted.

Johnny Devlin's track "Panel Van" is on RCA and as we all know RCA have closed their vaults to many old Oz tracks. The flip side is called "I Can't Go - I Can't Stay" and was issued as the b-side on an ATA single called "Heartbreak Hotel". It is the exact same recording so does this mean ATA and RCA own an identical song?

In 1973 they were Stillwater, by 1974 they were Finch and they had a moderate career in Oz, then they changed their name to Contraband in 1978 when they went off to conquer America. They folded in 1979. Mark Evans who was bass player in this band was one of the original members of AC/DC 1975-77. Mark came from Melbourne. Newcastle's Dave Evans was also a founding member of AC/DC and is not a relation.

Happy Australia Day, one and all!

DOWNLOAD NO.340 - JOHNNY TAPP

Hondo Grattan was a pacer from Bathurst NSW and known as the "Bathurst Bulldog". He was famous because of the following achievements:

Lord Mayor’s Cup 1975
Inter Dominion Pacing Championship 1974
Inter Dominion Pacing Championship 1973
Miracle Mile 1972
New South Wales Sires Produce Stakes 1971

Johnny Tapp, a very well known race caller, was such a fan he got his mates together and recorded a track called “Little Hondo” which hit the charts and got to #35 in June 1974 in NSW. It shared the top 40 with a competing version by Ed Mackie.

DOWNLOAD NO.339 - GANGGAJANG

This year to celebrate Australia Day I am posting an old Oz pop anthem.

In 1984 GANGgajang hit the top 40 with a track called "Sounds Of Then (This Is Australia)". It has gone on to be used on a number of occasions at important ceremonies and functions and is a perennial Oz favourite. I think the group should have called the track "This Is Australia" as nobody actually remembers it by its proper title...when it was first released it was just called "Sounds Of Then" without the bracketed after part.

There has never been an official 12" of the song but various mixes of the single were issued. By combining these various alternate mixes I have made a new 8 minute mix. All the alternate mixes were from CD so the quality of my new mix is amazingly good. My new version is called: "This Is Australia (Sounds Of Then Ext Tom Mix)"

The group have their own web page at http://www.ganggajang.com/

Play it loud on Australia Day.

DOWNLOAD NO.338 - THE DEE JAYS

The Dee Jays were an early 1960's backing group that mostly worked for Festival records, Lee Gordon or Johnny O'Keefe. They started work with Johnny O'Keefe in 1958 (same year I was born) and can be heard backing many of Johnny's early hits.

Some of the Dee Jay's instrumental work has made it to CD, on a release called "Brian Henderson's Band Stand" but it has been out of print ever since the multinationals took over the Festival vaults...the singles "Twistin' Drums" and "Hoots, Mon" are found on this CD.

In late 1961 they put out a double sided record called "Off Shore" backed by "Toy Balloons", a song which had previously been a hit in some parts of the world for Russ Conway. As usual the radio stations ended up playing the b-side and in January 1962 it charted really well in Sydney where it got to #28.

Singles:

Straight Flush / When The Saints Go Marching In 1960
Steppin' Out / Straighten Up 1960
Twistin' Drums / Shake 1962
Off Shore / Toy Balloons 1962 #28
Big Daddy / Lost Love 1963
Hoots, Mon / Auf Wiederseh'n, My Dear 1963
Sunday Patrol / Barbeque 1964
It Must Be Love / Tell Me How You Feel 1964 (as "Catfish" and The Dee Jays - "Catfish" is the pet name of the drummer).

If you look at the label pictures above you will note the band member's names are included and that the combination of musos change on either track. On the a-side you will also see that the song is billed as "The Dee Jays with Strings".

This record is courtesy of Jimmy Barnes. The sound is superb as the tracks are pristine. The transfer on both sides is almost CD quality...and because they are both excruciatingly short I have extended both sides out to the 3 minute mark.

They are in a zip file with pictures of the labels included. No password.

DOWNLOAD NO.337 - DANIEL JOHNS

Daniel Johns (senior) was a country rock folk singer who put out an album and a single back in 1977 on the Homespun label. Most people would know Daniel Johns (junior) the lead singer of Newcastle's successful pop band Silvercahir. Daniel (junior) has also gone solo on a few projects.

For those who don't know what the difference is between the "album version" and "single mix" of a song I have included 2 different mp3 files in a zip for your comparison. The 2 versions of "Steel City Song" sound very different but come from the same recording session, it is amazing what a studio producer and engineer can achieve from the same raw material.

With both Johns men having a strong connection to Newcastle I expected "Steel City Song" to be about my hometown of Newcastle but no, this song is about Wollongong.

The single version is courtesy of Jimmy Barnes, one of my regular contributors, and the album version is courtesy of Dave from Midoztouch.

DOWNLOAD NO.336 - DONNIE SUTHERLAND

Donnie Sutherland has other songs on this bog. Please use search facility to locate them.

Recently, on another Oz music forum called Midoztouch, a note was posted saying that we here in Oz had very few 12" mixes made during the 1970s...I agree that we had few, but in the good old days we did have some extended mixes of songs posted on 7" singles before the vinyl presses and machines were shipped to Oz to make the longer 12" records.

Here is one such example, Donnie Sutherland had the longer disco version of his track "Dancin' Man" placed on the back of the regular 7". The a-side is short about 3.30 mins but the flip is 5:38 mins.

An issue I faced when ripping this track was that the longer b-side version was almost half the volume of the a-side. This was often the case when longer songs were issued on vinyl 7" singles, when songs were half-volume they took up less space in the grooves of the record....this is why when you listen to old K-Tel albums you notice that the volumes are softer (compressed), so as to get ten songs on each side of their albums.

Tony Hatch, who wrote so many songs with his then wife Jackie Trent, was responsible for "Dancin' Man (Disco Version)" not only did he write it but was the record producer as well.

The record is courtesy of regular contributor Jimmy Barnes. Many thanks Jim, when I get the time there will be more old rare songs to come. He has left a parcel of Oz songs for me to upload and share...

For the avid collector of Col Joye this may be the first time his version of "Honey" has appeared since the 1970s. Some of the others too, are lost gems.

Why American singer Neil Sedaka's, "Wheeling West Virginia" was included, I'll never know! Yes, I know it was recorded in Oz but he is not from hereabouts! Luckily it is added though, as it it the first time I've been able to get a copy of the original mono single mix which has not been on CD to date.

Stephen hit his straps in 1976 working as vocalist for the Oz group The Sports but before then he was in the Pelaco Brothers formed in 1974.

Schnell Fenster was a Melbourne-based band, formed in 1986 by ex-members of Split Enz. Tentatively named "The Wanx", the band selected their new name Schnell Fenster (German for "fast window"), because it appealed to their sense of perversity.

DOWNLOAD NO.330 - TREVOR

Oz singer, Trevor Spry, only ever recorded under his first name of "Trevor". He was a teenager when he first took an interest in music and by 1970 he achieved his first top 40 hit with "Crying In The Rain" which got to #27 nationally.

Trevor worked as a rock journalist and appeared on TV shows like Melbourne's "Uptight" and "Happening '70".

Buoyed by the sales of his first hit he released "Love Is All Around" in 1971 and it only charted in Melbourne where it got to #32 - it pretty much sank without a ripple in the rest of Oz.

The single "Crying In The Rain" was later released on an album called "Super Sounds Of Happening ’71" which is where this download comes from.

This track is one I fixed up for Alan Katzmann and his audiophile friends who are collecting all the charting top 40 hits heard on Sydney radio station 2UE from 1956 to 1974.

DOWNLOAD NO.328 - NEW WORLD

Formed as The New World Trio in the late 60's in Brisbane, Australia, and armed with a recording contract with Albert Productions, John Kane, John Lee, and Mel Noonan first hit the local Top 40 charts at the end of 1968/start of 1969, with their version of “Try To Remember (The Kind Of September)”. Their first single "Feed The Birds" released in 1968 had failed to chart.

In early 1971 they went to England and began working the club circuit. This led to an appearance on the UK talent quest show Opportunity Knocks where they became popular winners. Sadly, later they were tried at the Old Bailey for trying to fix the outcome of the show on which they appeared but it was never proven. They allegedly asked friends to send in bogus votes.

The trio, now billed simply as New World, signed with producer Mickie Most to his fledgling RAK Records label. In 1971 they released a version of the Joe South song Rose Garden, beating the Lynn Anderson international hit version in the UK.

In the early seventies New World were regular guests on the BBC TV show The Two Ronnies, and it is clear they were being pitched at more than just teeny-boppers. Sophisticated pop is an oxymoron, but Mickie Most was a shameless promoter who'd try anything to get his acts into the public's eye!

Their first big breakthrough in Oz was the 1971 single “Tom Tom Turnaround” - originally penned by Chinn and Chapman for the UK group The Sweet.

New World’s next single was "Kara Kara"/"Lord Of The Dance" in late 1971 which got to #19 in Oz. In some places the b-side charted well and in fact in my part of Oz at the time (Northcoast NSW), the other side wasn't given much airplay at all.

In May 1972 they released their biggest selling record, "Sister Jane", which was a Top 10 hit in Britain and Australia.

The next single flopped in the UK, it was the original version of Chinn and Chapman's "Living Next Door To Alice" - although it did make the charts in Oz, reaching #13 in March 1973.

Their next release, Chinn and Chapman’s "Rooftop Singing" just missed out on the UK Top 50, only getting as high as #51 but in Oz it was #34 in 1973.

The hits dried up for a while. It was not until 4 years later they scored a Top 40 hit with "Homemade Sunshine". In the interim they had become regular performers on TV shows. .

The legendary Oz rock group The Master's Apprentices have everything released on CD and there is very little left to find or collect for the avid/rabid fan...

So, I thought I would start 2010 with a new extended mix of the old stereo album version of "Turn Up Your Radio" which has left-right interplay that you can't discern in the mono single mix....I consider the opening of this track as one of the most recognisable Oz riffs ever recorded.
