Pupils Of Love - Rock 'N' Roll 7''

1986 (could be 1987) release. Limited to 500. Belated Aussie punk (surprise, surprise). This has more of a late 70's feel to it, despite being mid 80's.

Discogs has one more 7'' after this listed (Move It/In Love). However, I have seen references to still one more single released in 1992 ('Walk On The Wild Side'). Do not have this 'un - can anyone help out?

Johnny Demon and The Devils - Shut Your Mouth 7''

Hardly ever gets a mention. Rightly or wrongly ... ?

Hey, it's Aussie punk (Sydney) from 1980 - this is historical. One and only release.

Vacant Lot - Self Titled 7''

1981 punk from Canberra. Can you believe it, they just put an album out in 2019: The Ark. Well worth getting - one of my top 10 for the year.

The Mansons - I Died Four Times 7''

Aussie Punk! Most would not make the link with this band being from the land downunda. Ol' Charlie was, after all, a true blue US of A. On top of that, the band members adopted the Manson surname (kinda like the Ramones). They also make reference to a 'Crawdad' - I have never heard of a Crayfish in Australia being referred to as a Crawdad.

Odd. Very odd.

World War XXIV - Azaria 7''

Aussie Punk from 1983, obviously referencing the 'mysterious' disappearance of baby Azaria Chamberlain at Ayers Rock (aka Uluru). A dingo took Azaria from a camping tent but her remains have never been found. The mother (Lindy) was charged with murder, later released after a retrial. Tragic. You'd probably have more luck finding this single - but I doubt it.

From Belgrave With Love

Various artists compilation from 1980. I remember listening to this when it came out and being pleasantly surprised that Australia can match the rest of the pack.

Zorros - Too Young 7''

Too young indeed. Having said that, I'm enjoying this dose of Aussie Punk from 1981 more and more. Timeless.

Released on AuGoGo records (Melbourne). The output from this label should not be understated. It was a sad day when they closed their doors.
