With the break up of The Bootleg Family Band in November 1975, Tony Naylor, Geoff Cox and Clive Harrison recruited Adrian Campbell and began gigging as Avalanche in early 1976.
The band’s catchy pop/rock sound was displayed on the singles "Wizard Of Love" (Feb 1976), "Sweet Baby Brown Eyes" (July 1976), "Landslide" (October 1976) and "Good For Me Good For You" (March 1977), and on their self-titled album in September 1976. Cox and Harrison left in early 1977 to be replaced by John Barnes (who in turn was quickly replaced by Barry Cram) and Graham Thompson (ex-Stars) respectively. Gerard McCabe also joined on keyboards, and this line-up released a version of The Beatles‘ "Got To Get You Into My Life" in November 1977.
By 1978, Naylor and Campbell had revamped the band as Front Page and issued the single "I Thought I’d Never Fall In Love Again". But by 1979 it was all over. After splitting, Naylor joined Jon English's backing band "Baxter Funt" and Campbell would be spotted in the early 80s as part of Funk band "Adrian's Wall". Thanks to Henry DeRooy for the artwork.

Thanks for this great compilation Gary - a few singles that I didn't already have. Love Cox's curly hair in the front cover ! (well done Mr DeRooy). Saw him play many times in Geelong with various bands but sadly never saw Avalanche play live. Keep up the great work fellas. Cheers AR
Cracking set of songs, Thank you.
Thanks Gary great job as usual

Thank you Ozzie.... Much appreciated mate!
It's a pleasure, Ozzie Music Man, thank you so much for your acceptance. I'll send you two MediaFire links: one is a Lucky Starr foldier with 4 Zip albums (this foldier be extended soon) and the other is the last album studio of lee conway (i think). I have more that I'll share once they're uploaded to MediaFire. The download is fast. You'll find the album art in the "Art" folder next to the "LP" folder. There are no passwords, so they're completely free. I hope you like them. (The album name and cover art will be visible on this blog, Ozzie Music Man.)

Hello everyone, here I share another great classic album. This one is "John Laws", the album with the cover featuring him next to a studio microphone.
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/l1553yfgn79kr/John+Laws
I should mention that of all the great Australian music, the artists I listen to most are Lee Conway, Lucky Starr, John Laws, and Nev Nichols, so those will be the albums I share most frequently, along with other great Australian classics. I still have some albums to digitize, and I'll share the links for each artist and a variety of them in a single folder. (Check these foldiers frequently by new uploads or remakes) ppreciate you allowing me to share these treasures, sealed on vinyl or cassette. I hope you enjoy them.
