On their return to Australia, Bill & Boyd established
themselves as a top club act. In 1970, they joined Ron Tudor's newly formed
Fable label. Their first release, in July 1970, was a version of "It's A
Small World" b/w “Meanwhile Back In Abeline” (FB 009) which, although a
steady seller, didn't quite make the top 40. They had several releases of
singles and albums over the next four years. It wasn't until 1975 that they had
their most success, after recording a song called "Santa Never Made It
into Darwin". The song documented the events of Cyclone Tracy that
devastated the city of Darwin on Christmas Eve 1974. This single was Arranged
and Produced by John Farrar.Flac
