Description
ITEM : 2 track single in original Festival sleeve. No picture cover issued.
ARTIST: BEAUT
TRACKS : Goodbye Judy / Paper Chains
DETAILS: Australian only issue – Infinity Label #K-6496
GENRE : Rock / Power-Pop
YEAR : 1976
INFO : This debut effort is revered as a seminal and extremely rare 1976 release that ranks up there with the Holy Grail of Aussie Power-Pop. The band actually supported The Bay City Rollers when on tour in Australia and musically this gem will appeal to fans of The Raspberries, early Nick Lowe and that style. BEAUT only ever recorded 2 singles before songwriters David Burnette & Lee Cutelle reappeared in a new outfit “Branded” who cut one impossible to find Infinity single in 1978. Cutelle later released a solo single in 1986.
The A- Side here is an astounding piece of short, catchy, hook-filled pre-punk / power-pop. The group, producer and arranger do a terrific job here with horns and great multitracked vocals punctuating the lines along with the whispered backing vox.
Whilst ‘Judy’ is the undeniable hit, ‘Paper Chains’ is no slouch either – great innocent 1970s pop, this time with a glammy, power-chord driven middle-eight stomp. Great Stuff !!
Another one from the ‘difficult to find’ basket of obscure Aussie material.
