My first record.

David Cassidy, Brian Cad, Billy Thorpe (Roger Daltrey? & oh I know the band photo it's the hairstyles.....Yes, thought it might be Slade had to look#)
I have just been playing both sides of Rattlesnakes.....
Ok I have (every-most) other compilation album produced in Oz from 1967 onwards.
At least this one had Issac Hayes on it....I'm not sure if I have this but think so.
You didn't buy a single first up?
My first Album bought with my big sister was Smoke on the Water. Because my sister, brother and I run 61,62 & 63 we would go halvies in different combinations.
FYI we moved from inner city Melbs to Bolinda outside of Sunbury in 1971....so I got to go to Sunbury 72...on the otherside of the cyclone wire...back roads....Mum taught at the High School so her 6th form Maths students showed us the way...and yes, it was in the 1972 Kombi Micro Bus...how else do you fit 4 kids in.
Love compilations as they some up the good the bad and the ugly in a moment in time.

No singles - straight to those two gems.

Oh … and I mentioned this show earlier.

The Clash - Live at Festival Hall Melbourne 23rd Feb 1982.




In my opinion, one of the greatest shows of the decade in Melbourne. I went to the gig and the next day or a couple of days later, bought a bootleg of the show from Greville Records. It was a double cassette and the sound quality wasn’t great, but it was worth it. The link is to a digitised version of that bootleg. Special guest appearance by Gary Foley was a welcome inclusion and a sign of The Clash’s support for First Nations peoples.

Love compilations as they some up the good the bad and the ugly in a moment in time.

I always went for old records as a kid, used to comb through friends/relatives/parents collections when they wanted to get rid of ancient stuff.

I still have a few of those old compilation LPs, ripped to digital...

Getting back to the 80s oeuvre, saw a lot of shows in those days. Managed to catch Jane's Addiction in a tiny club, long before they made it big.

Their first LP was actually a live show, on the XXX label. This got in heavy rotation on one of my favorite radio stations at the time, Loyola-Marymount University's KXLU (still on the air). They announced a show on a Wednesday night... I think I paid $5 cover to get in since I didn't have a flyer:

Jane's Addiction - December 10, 1986 - Club Lingerie, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA

Tour History Information for the Jane's Addiction Event: December 10, 1986, Club Lingerie, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA

janesaddiction.org

I don't recall that many people inside, certainly less than 100. Perry was being a dick as usual, and was pissed off at something. Flipped off the crowd, demanded more dancing or something, so they ended up cutting their set short. But it was definitely fun.

Place isn't quite as lively today:

My first Album bought with my big sister was Deep Purple Machine Head bcs ofSmoke on the Water. Because my sister, brother and I run 61,62 & 63 we would go halvies in different combinations.
FYI we moved from inner city Melbs to Bolinda outside of Sunbury in 1971....so I got to go to Sunbury 72...on the otherside of the cyclone wire...back roads....Mum taught at the High School so her 6th form Maths students showed us the way...and yes, it was in the 1972 Kombi Micro Bus...how else do you fit 4 kids in.

1974 My First LP -Machine Head Deep Purple

Bought at Pedders Castlemaine $7.99
I only owned 50% as I was Halvies with my sister.

Pedders Castlemaine 1972-75 Photo is part of the Committee for Urban Action Castlemaine. In the State Library Vic collection. This 'Urban Action Committee' was a Victorian Govt. program to document every building and street of Victorian Towns. They started with Castlemaine and that is a completed section. Lucky for me it coincides exactly with the years I lived there an amazing archive to access, I can see my school which was opposite this shop in Mostyn Street the main drag of the Maine.
The shop was dark and dusty with a central counter with the records, about 6 crates worth, 3 on each side, where you could flip through maybe 2 of them that were relevant to my tastes. Records were $6.99 each except for primo ones like the one we got that time. Of course you could order a record through them but if you ordered it you had to buy it.


"Smoke on the Water" is a song by English rock band Deep Purple, released on their 1972 studio album Machine Head. The song's lyrics are based on true events, chronicling the 1971 fire at Montreux Casino. It is considered the band's signature song and contains one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in rock history. Ref; Wiki

Always liked Jon English and the Dark Horses album was really impressive to me. Obviously his talents spread well outside just pop music with tv, movie and theatre acting roles as well as producing his own musical Paris. Sadly gone now, fell ill and died while organising a tour! rip

Jon English.....aka the Panda...all in the eyes. Off the top of my head: came to attention because of his role as Herod in Jesus Christ Super Star (Marcia Hines, Stevie Wright, Colleen Hewart, John Paul Young just some of the allum for JCSS)...never saw it. JE was a good actor thats for sure and he was always good on Spicks'n'Specks...personal choice....the only tune of his that I rate is this one 1976 ...



And talking of growing up in the country...this was Castlemaine in 1986...I left at the end of 1978 but I recognise these characters..change always came slow back then....and country towns you knew everyone as the saying goes, "If you don't know what you're doing today don't worry someone will tell you'.
The guy photo'd with the bike was 'Snakey Lakey' he used to ride around town all day every day, all weather...you could set your watch by him passing you at any one point....Characters we had them....
Most of my siblings are all back there now...Country towns...the umbilical cord just stretches...I've never stopped heading up the Calder.

Say, Ian Gillan ties the Deep Purple Machine Head memories with Jesus Christ Superstar, as he was the main vocalist for both:

Pop Life- Pop Light
In my era of pop culture you had the big three in their prime, all supremely talented in their field and their impact on the scene.
Madonna, Michael Jackson & Prince. Of those 3 the one I liked least was Madonna. I repect what she's done, it was tough she was tough...she is tough, she's the only survivor.
Mind you she's the whole enchalada of Botox, Face lifts (one gone toally wrong-the eye patch era) etc...plastiscization updating. Tough to surf in a culture that is all about the glittering surface of narcisism.
The one I do really rate of her's is Ray of Light.
Released in 1998 it captures the zeitgeist of the world sped up by the ethernet...warp speed...and we got warped by it.
"Zephyr in the sky at night, I wonder...."

Although Madonna is no stranger to controversy, her NFT collaboration with Beeple raised a lot of eyebrows in the crypto community.

Perfect connect....love it.....this is what it's about.....doesn't take much to knit the cultural pattern out of the threads that link all of our brain banks... it's getting nice and cosy by the campfire of the surf school............as folks throw another log on the fire..

NFT's the ponzi scheme of monetizing culture......
As I said this is about the only thing I rate of M's.

“Blue Sunshine” - The Glove
Robert Smith, Steven Severin, Jeanette Landray - Post Punk Psychedelia



A lot of people missed it at the time, but this is one of the cooler releases of 1983. It also really stands up.

That’s a ‘cut to the chase’ first purchase.

I love the idea of an 11 or 12 year old Pamcake1 rocking out to Deep Purple, who admittedly, were not one of my bands. So much cooler than youngsters who were into ‘Billy Don’t Be A Hero’ - a song the whole family could tap along to.
