cool track. I've never heard this one. have you got anymore similar obscurities like the A-side? rare Aust Pop with guitars and vocal harmonies is what I'm chasing.
Thanks for the songs. I've never heard this single before either. Still have the Avalanche album on cassette - saw them once at the old Bondi Lifesaver - so I had to give this a listen.
The b-side is the same song I had on a Mason's Cure single. It may even still be around here somewhere....
OOps, that should be The Bootleg Band doing Rockin Hollywood.
Thanks Again
Just hoping you will reup this link, thanks
Hi Crazydave I have checked all the downloads that you want me to reup and they download fine. Let me know how you go.

Cheers Dave
