Description
A few weeks ago, I got a call from an old friend who'd been a part of the Sydney inner city punk/indie scene from about 1977-84 (his older brother was one of the two guitarists in this band)...anyway he was clearing house and wanted to get rid of his record collection. So I bought it all. He's a cool guy who'd had a passion for the whole tribal Aussie punk/indie/Detroit-inspired/Radio Birdman thing, plus the post-punk/synth/'little bands'/M Squared scene too and had bought a lot of classics at the time...plus other random goodies of minimal rarity but high on quality - it's great stuff...I remember he used to shop at Phantom a lot, a few even have old Phantom price stickers on them still - I left them on.
Anyway, this record below is one of that collection:
ARTIST: SURFSIDE 6 -
TITLES: "(CAN'T YOU SEE) THE SIGN" / "BEACH PARTY" + "BACI! BACI!" .
FORMAT: …vinyl 7" single…
LABEL: PHANTOM .
CATALOGUE #: PH-7 .
DATE OF RELEASE: July 1981 .
PRESSED IN: AUSTRALIA .
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?: Yes, it is...
'A' side is the closest any Aussie band got to sounding like Radio Birdman (NOT that these guys were copy-ists...whatsoever)...however the song was written by band guitarist Gregg Masuak (younger brother of Birdman's Chris, who produced this and played on it). The cover stood out as it was designed by famed Sydney artist Paul Worstead, and each cover featured a paddle-pop stick with the band's name burnt into it, coloured and glued onto the appropriately-coloured image on the front...this one has a YELLOW stick attached. (I co-owned the label at the time and my business partner Dare and I, with Libby Blainey, another of our artists, and Paul W., stayed back in the shop and glued 500 of these sticks to the covers one night...it was friggin' laborious - fun at the beginning then blimmin' tiresome. Most of the sticks were yellow or green, with way less being red and blue, and hardly any being white (as the dye didn't take and it looked kinda plain/un-coloured - I think there were literally only about 10, maybe 12, 'white-dyed' sticks attached).
CONDITION:
COVER/VINYL: ( EX- / VG+ )...
