Ozzzie maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate
Where did this come from & why have I never seen it in any of Alison's discographies. This girl is hands down, the best female rock vocalist we've ever produced in this country. Shame Alberts Records sent her down the MOR after Excuse Me coz her RCA recordings always got it right.
And with those joyous howling, shrieking, wailing tonsils of hers, there's no doubting this is Alison in full throttle. She certainly would give Joplin, Tina & Aretha a run for their money with THAT voice. Thanks so much for this one mate. Now how about the other side please? -) And here I was thinking I had all of Alison's recordings. Ozzie you've made my night. No, make that year :-)
Ok Micko will post the B side asap and your right about the disograpy on this song only came up in one of my books (Who's Who Of Australian Rock - 5th Edition)and can't find anything on the band Celebration, bit of a mystery :)
