Vinyl Community: Vinyl Finds May 2023 part 1

I was actually at the Box Hill fair and picked up 7"'s from Jo Jo Zep and the Mentals too!

Nice pick ups there John!!....sorry to hear that you are both down with Covid....my sister and brother in law were on an adventure holiday in W.A a few weeks back and came down with Covid , which put the dampeners on things...they O.K now.

RICKY MAY!!....my friend Geoff and I had many,many XXXX beers with Ricky in a beergarden in Surfers Paradise back in 1970.....lovely bloke!!

"The stress of looking for records" 🤣 Glad you're able to force down a beer or 2! I had no idea that Richard Harris was also a singer. Exploding White Mice is a very funny band name!

Hey John - That's a very interesting collection of records. Sorry to hear about COVID.

Jeebuz...radio silence and now you're pumpin' out the vid's mate. COVID vs Record Stress!! Which is worse? 😂The reson the beer's not tasting right John, is that you're drinking Crownies!! Flat & tastes like piss 😂 I've actually never heard Richard Harris' version of Macarthur Park. Twilights are on a few of those great Raven 60's comps. Same old story. Australian band goes to the UK to try to make it & comes back broken. Falling Joys, man that took me back. I used to love them. Chad's Tree. You've stumped me there & I do like the Snarski's & the Betweens. Love the Lob 🤘Eastern Dark is a classic imho. Nice Harem Scarem find. I don't often see there stuff. So cool to get the Beasts with the insert. I must read the Kim Salmon books too. Oohh Scientists on Au Go Go! Even though to me the first 3 Saints are the best, I agree with you Chris Bailey still put out some top stuff afterwards. You did well & it was probably worth catching the "C"😂 Cheers...Ben

I love The Go-Betweens but I had not heard of Chad's Tree. Howlin' Wolf does probably the best known version of "Built For Comfort" and is one of his best songs. There was a power pop group from my area called The Boys. I am a fan of Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons. You have introduced me to quite a few new artists.

Downunder Tuneage where have you disappeared to? Nothing since May
