I can't thank you enough for uploading it. The boys will be pleased to see it also. Just awesome and so rare. I’ve been searching for someone who may have taped this for a couple of years now.

Unfortunately, the picture quality leaves a lot to be desired but you can only use what you have! Just thought I'd share.

I met Phil again many years later at the Floreat Hotel when the band were playing under the name The Opshoppers..we now have a talented 17 year old son who plays guitar in his own band BIRTH OF A HERO, soon to play their first gig at the Hyde Park!

The re-issue is almost done and has 21 tracks on it.. demos and rare tracks also. the guys went to perth and played through the 80's but primarily as a cover band. One is a Taxi driver in Perth, the drummer plays in a 60 cover band, One has an IT company in Sydney and one is a solo muso in Brisbane. I hope that helps but you can read the full story in the CD booklet when it's released Glad you liked them back in the day.

A high energy pub rock band that filled the dance floor. Best Melbourne gigs were at the Sarah Sands Hotel in Brunswick - before it became a strip club and then a yuppy pub!! They played a mix of fantastic originals plus a lot of great 60s covers. I have an autographed copy of No Sweat - anyone know what happened to the guys after the band broke up? They were really nice guys, friendly and very down to earth. They had a house in Melbourne for a while (my girlfriend and I used to feed their cat when they were interstate on tour!)
