Adventures in paradiseRare Original OZ Only EP released in the 60's on Festival Records. Cat: FX10869. This EP is in MONO.
Porter began his musical career as a teenager in the early 60s under the stage-name "Rob E.G.". The young steel guitar prodigy recorded a string of successful instrumental singles for Festival Records, beginning in 1959, although he had a setback when he suffered serious spinal injuries in a car accident in 1961. He appeared regularly on TV and hosted his own show, Surf Sound. He very successfully scored four top ten singles in the early Sixties, including two #1 hits with Si Senor and 55 Days At Peking. 1964 Porter took the advice of Beatles manager Brian Epstein and went to the UK, then moved on to the USA, where he continued to write and record. He co-starred opposite Sam Waterson and Charlotte Rampling in the movie Three in 1969 and also featured in the 1972 mystery movie The Carey Treatment, directed by Blake Edwards. It is presumably at this time that porter came into contact with American writer-producer-director Steve Binder, who became his business partner a few years later, and whose TV credits include Hullabaloo, The TAMI Special and Elvis's 1968 Comeback Special. Porter returned to Australia in 1970 and bought a controlling share of the independent record label Sparmac. In May 1970 porter saw Daddy Cool at a gig in Melbourne and signed them to Sparmac with tremendous success. He produced all three of their LPs and all their singles, including Eagle Rock. He also produced the classic 1971 single Golden Miles for Healing Force. In 1973 he set up a new label, Wizard in partnership with Steve Binder, and the pair also became the co-managers of former Zoot guitarist Rick Springfield and helped to launch his career in the United States.
