Live (Swinburne College, Melbourne Aug. '77)

On August 19th, 1977 the Boys Next Door played their second public performance at a 'New Wave Rock Show' at Swinburne College in Melbourne. They were bottom of a bill that also comprised the Obsessions (who included Rowland Howard) and the headliners, the Reals (who included Gary Gray, Ian Olsen and Chris Walsh). For some reason the Obsessions pulled out and were replaced by the Babeez (later to become News). Entrance was 50¢. This live tape was recorded by 3SW and only rediscovered recently. What you hear is a rough but accurate recording of one of the seminal Melbourne punk concerts, and of a band that were to develop into the most important Australian band of recent times. Special thanks to : 3SW Swinburne and the Australian New Wave Family Tree. "Masturbation Generation" is not listed, but does appear. This CD consists of a single track 58:34 in length.
