ORIGINAL 1982 1st PRESS (only approx 300 copies) NZ VINYL 2x45RPM * GATEFOLD A seminal record in New Zealand music. An unusual format, it contain two 45rpm 12" discs, and at nearly 50 minutes length, it is longer than many albums. Released in June 1982 the compilation was one of the first releases from the newly formed Flying Nun Records label (catalogue number DUN-1), which over the course of the next ten years was to become the biggest independent record label in New Zealand. Many of the label's top groups came from the South Island city of Dunedin, and established that southern city's music scene as the leading source of guitar-based bands in New Zealand throughout much of the decade. The bands from the city which had music released on Flying Nun were grouped under the loose banner of Dunedin sound, and several of them went on to not only national but also international success. Dunedin Double established the names of four of these groups, each of which was represented on the double EP by one side. The four bands concerned were The Chills, Sneaky Feelings, The Stones, and The Verlaines. The Dunedin bands were very different to each other. The Chills songwriter, singer and guitarist Martin Phillipps was a music lover and record collector who loved psychedelia, The Beach Boys, Nick Drake, Randy Newman and plenty more. As someone whose drive is to tell a story and shift a message through sung poetry, The Verlaines's Graeme Downes' formative influences were Bob Dylan and Van Morrison, but he remains open to all music despite spending years working within a classical-heavy music department at Otago University. The Sneaky Feelings were just as different again, with influences such as The Byrds, The Beatles and 1960s R&B thrown into the mix. The Stones' biggest influence might have been The Clean.
