The Town Criers formed around 1965 in Melbourne. Their first single was a cover of The Kinks “The World Keeps Going Round”. In Late 1967 they were signed to the Astor label by Ron Tudor. In February ’68 they released a strong version of “Everlasting Love”. In the later half of 1968, The Town Criers travelled to SE Asia where they entertained American and Australian troops stationed in Vietnam. This was followed by a trip to the USA where they appeared on the Bob Hope Christmas special. In ’68 they covered the ’65 hit for the Four Tops “I Can’t Help Myself”. Here you to download is the B-Side to "Everlasting Love", “I Can’t Help Myself” (A7095).
Enjoy these rare Australian classics and not so classics converted from vinyl to Mp3. Any copyright owner who does not wish to be included in this blog, please contact me and I will remove the posting immediately. What I would like this blog to accomplish is to get Australian music out there that will probably never make it to CD. I hope that these samples will take you on a trip down memory lane, or introduce this great music to people who may have never heard it before.
WE CREATED THIS MUSIC BLOG IN HOPE TO PROMOTE THOSE AUSSIE TRACKS THAT WERE EVENTUALLY VAULTED BY THE MAJOR RECORD COMPANIES. MOST OF THESE TRACKS ARE ONLY COLLECTING COBWEBS AND WILL NEVER BE RELEASED ON CD. MAYBE AFTER PEOPLE HEAR THE TRACKS THAT I PUT ON THIS BLOG, WITH EMAILS TO THE RECORD COMPANIES WE CAN TWIST THEIR ARM TO RELEASE THEM ON CD. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE TRACKS THAT I'M POSTING HAVE NEVER BEEN PUT ON CD. REMINDER: IF YOU ARE THE COPYRIGHT OWNER OF ANY OF THESE RECORDING AND DO NOT WISH TO HAVE THEM INCLUDED ON THIS BLOG, PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL REMOVE THEM IMMEDIATELY. ALL VISITORS: ENJOY!
