The Eighty Eights were formed in Newcastle in 1979. The band
consisted of Larry Van Kriedt (vocals, guitar), Maurice D’Abruzzo (vocals, guitar),
Kent Jackson (bass) and John Bartram (drums). Van Kriedt’s claim to fame was
that he was the original bass player for AC/DC in late 1973 and early 1974.
They signed with the small Result label in 1980, and released their debut
single “She Fell in Love With James Bond” , followed by the EP “Live Pop”. The
singles “Don’t Call Us”, “Time Machine”, and the LP “Top of the World”
followed. Here to download are all three
singles and the Live E.P. Thanks to Bruce for the E.P. Flac
