Recorded: 10 February 1980.
On offer here is an ULTRA RARE original issue of the FUN THINGS EP. There were ONLY 500 COPIES pressed back in the day, but most of these are long gone. The recordings contained within these grooves are DETROIT-style PUNK of the highest order from BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA!
BRAD SHEPHERD later fronted the HOODOO GURUS, but that’s another story.
