AUSTRALIAN ROCK
VA - The A to Z of Australian Rock (A Butterboy Compilation) (22xCD's)
Most of the tracks chosen for this compilation are related to an artist’s first single. Where possible I have included the first single A or B side. Where these were not available I have included the album track which became a first single or an early single. The mix of tracks is thrilling. You may discover hard to find singles and/or hear a side of a band you may not have heard before. The acts are presented in alphabetic order and by year released.
I will share these in Parts (3 parts per week until completed). I hope you have fun digging through the 714 track that make up this compilation.

Thank you for this epic share of oz music. Really enjoy your work
ReplyDeleteHi g8rrick,
DeleteThis was a big by enjoyable project to share. Lots of research and confirmation of tracks used.
I didn't have all the artists but i feel this offers a good glimpse over the years.
Enjoy the music.
Cheers
You are welcome Il Commendatore.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
I am enjoying your trawl through the Australian music scene. It certainly took some effort and a huge amount of organization to get it out. There is a lot of territory covered. You included the Dead can dance too- I would just like to comment that I loved Brendan Perrys earlier work especially with Marching Girls which was a bridge between the Scavengers and Dead can Dance. Its worth seeking out in my humble opinion. Oh and my father would have been tickled pink to see " Pub with no beer" here. As he told me it's no joke when you travel the outback and that happens.
ReplyDeleteHi Butterflyrobot.
DeleteWelcome.
I had a great time pulling this together. So many songs that were hidden in the back of my mind resurfaced.
Here is a link to All the Tracks for this Compilation series.

Cheers.
PS Always take your own beer when you travel into the outback just in case...
Hi Butterboy
DeleteThanks for the links.
As for the beer - yes you can bring your own but as my dad explains it after a long days work in the hot sun- the beer in the pub is really cold
