Description

Original 1980 Phantom Records 7" Ep from his legendary Australian indie pop band led by Jeremy Oxley.  Record is EX++ (minor ring wear imprint)/ VG++ (some marks on "Love to Rule" which gives minor pops and crackles). I will combine postage.  " Brothers Jeremy and Peter Oxley and Bil Bilson came from the northern New South Wales town of Kingscliff where they played in a garage band called Wooden Horse. Richard Burgman (Kamikaze Kids) came from Wagga Wagga. Peter Oxley, Bil Bilson and Richard Burgman met in Sydney in 1979 and formed a band with Pennie Ward, Shy Imposters, which broke up in early 1980. (Phantom Records released a posthumous single "At The Barrier" (PH-6) in 1981). Joined by Jeremy Oxley, they formed a new band, Sunnyboys. The band's name came from a Sunnyboy, an orange-flavoured water ice in a tetrahedron shaped ‘tetra-pack’, once popular with children in Australia. According to Richard Burgman, the band chose the name because it represented ‘bright, happy, young, fun’. The band's first public performance was on 15 August 1980, supporting The Lipstick Killers and Me 262, and it quickly became popular in the Sydney band scene.

In October 1980 Sunnyboys recorded four songs produced by Lobby Loyde. These tracks, "Love To Rule", "The Seeker", "What You Need" and "Alone With You", appeared on the band's self-titled and independently released 4-track 7" EP on Phantom Records (PH-7) in December 1980. The initial pressing of 1,000 copies sold out in two weeks."
