Description
The Concert of the Decade
Various Artists
This auction is for a hard-to-find vinyl copy of The Concert of the Decade, released on the Mushroom label in 1979. Teenagers in Sydney, in the late 1970's, listened to 2SM for all the latest rock & pop. The station was also famous at this time for their concerts in Victoria Park & at the Sydney Opera House and these lead the way for one of the biggest ever held at that time, the Concert of The Decade. Staged on the 4th of November 1979, it featured a host of classic Australian acts from that time, some of whom re-formed just for that concert. Some of Australia’s biggest musical acts performed (see below for track listing) and this double LP set captures the excitement of many of those performances. Possibly the highlight was Stevie Wright giving the performance of his life with Evie parts 1, 2 & 3.

I will be listing several records over the coming weeks. These are from a private collection that has been in storage for a few years. The images used in the listings will always be the actual records for sale, stock images will not be used. Please note I will do my best to grade the condition of these records, but I am not a professional grader. If anything, the gradings will be conservative. All LPs will be test played but only major defects will be reported.
I am happy to combine postage if you are interested in more than one listing. The item will be packed carefully to ensure it arrives safely which may mean postage is a little higher, but I will only charge you the postage I pay. Local pick up will be from the Highett area, about 5 minutes from Southland Shopping Centre. Overseas buyers please note postage is based on weight and distance, which can make buying from Australia quite expensive.
All bids are final. Winning bidder please contact me within 3 days. Postage discounts will be offered if more than one auction has been won. Buyer is to pay all postage.
