DESCRIPTION

Recorded in Adelaide 1970, and released a year later on the Sweet Peach label which lays claim as the first Indie label in Australia and proved to be the forerunner to other progressive labels such as Havoc, Sparmac and Mushroom.
Fraternity formed in 1970 by some members of the recently-split legendary 60’s outfit Levi Smith Clefs who, like Chain, adopted a revolving-door policy of band members over the years (among the many founding line-ups of LSC at least four significant Australian groups -- Tully, Fraternity, SCRA and Mighty Mouse -- all have direct links to the band.) They were without a regular vocalist until Fraternity's bass player Bruce Howe decided to call upon Bon Scott, whose group The Valentines had just disbanded. New Zealand musician John Bissett played keyboards in this early line up.

Fraternity released two albums and a few singles which enjoyed moderate success however, an attempt to find success in the UK was not fruitful and in early 1973 the band changed its name to Fang. By mid-1973 the group had stalled and gradually disintegrated, and the members returned to Australia. Some members formed the loosely-knit Mount Lofty Rangers with whom Bon Scott recorded a couple of songs before being seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in early 1974. When he had recovered, Scott joined AC/DC and Fraternity later reformed with a different line-up and continued until about 1976.

The bands version of Blackfeather's "Seasons of Change" enjoyed some status on the singles charts though their 2 albums are regarded as more interesting.

Not an easy album to acquire in any condition really and a good pick-up for Aussie rock and Bon Scott collectors..
