about

This recording - recently sent to me by a fan who worked in the National Archive - was found in the GayWaves archive from 2SER-FM - a Sydney independent radio station - circa 1981 - but take careful note of the back-announcement (at 3min 55 sec) where the DJ (on what must have been a gay radio show) back-announces the track with some amazing comments.

She says that my label Listen Music was the first music label dedicated to just releasing studio bands! Well - there ya go - before Icehouse and Tears For Fears and Thompson Twins made it big without playing a single note live - I was being rejected by every major record label (perhaps because the songs just weren't good enough!) but mostly because I refused to play live.

So refreshing to hear the DJ say this and how strange that she draws the conclusion that - back in 1981 when gays were still not accepted - a studio band label like mine may help them.
