Description
A couple of years ago, one of Australia's most respected and most eloquent music writers passed away - he was active all throughout the 80's and 90's, and to a lesser extent, right up until recently. His credibility was perhaps best illustrated by the high reverence in which he was held by his journalistic peers, and especially by the absolute cream of Australia's musicians - members of Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, Radio Birdman, Sports, Angels, and many many others counted him as an ally (itself rare in the too often isolationist world he inhabited)...and he had a flurry of loyal readers too...all of whom, it's my guess, would have felt a loop of sadness at the thought his indepth and articulate, impassioned appraisals would no longer be forthcoming.
Just recently I was offered to buy his record collection, which I did, feeling pretty honoured to do so...and here then, is one of the items from that collection:
ARTIST: The VISITORS -
TITLE: "THE VISITORS" .
FORMAT: …vinyl 12" EP…
LABEL: PHANTOM .
CATALOGUE #: PH-4 .
DATE OF RELEASE: 27 August 1980 .
PRESSED IN: AUSTRALIA .
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?: Yes, it is....this first pressing used a darker maroon colour on the cover...we (I used to own the label back then) did a second pressing using a lighter maroon which made the eagles stand out more...from memory, first pressing was 800 copies, and 2nd pressing was 500 (somewhere I have the old invoices from the pressing plant - I'll find 'em one day)....
Band was: Deniz tek, Pip Hoyle, Ron Keeley (all ex-Radio Birdman), Steve Harris (of The Passengers), and singer Mark Sisto (one-time Radio Birdman 'Minister Of Defence', and Birdman backing vocalist).
Tracks are: BROTHER JOHN / LIFE SPILL // JOURNEY BY SLEDGE / HELL YES
CONDITION:
COVER: ( EX- )...has some mild ringwear...but otherwise in superb condition!...
RECORD: ( VG++ )...has some 'hair-line' marks/scuffs only...plays beautifully (about EX to M- in fact) - it's an awesome listen!...
LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: EX )...
If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).Thanks for considering this item...Cheers, Jules.
