Prefab Sprout - The Golden Calf



House of Love - Christine


Triffids - Wide Open Road




Go-Betweens - Was There Anything I Could Do?



Violent Femmes - Add It Up



Magazine - Song From Under The Floorboards

Nice choices. Nice to see the Go Betweens and the Triffids. I loved quite a lot of what was coming out of Australia in early/mid 80s (Hoodoo Gurus, the Church etc)

You're right Jams - I was always a big fan - The ozzies are still producing some odd and eclectic beauties - check out Augie March - Moo You Bloody Cow... supurb
