Places I remember: Marbecks Records (Queen's Arcade, Auckland)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Star Hotel
Gear costume: Standing On The Ouside, My baby, Cheap Wine, Four Walls, Choir Girl, Rising Sun, Tomorrow, Best Kept Lies. Ita
Active compensatory factors: Their finest studio album? Oh, I'd say so.
Don Walker is a great writer, Jimmy Barnes is a great singer and with help (writing and playing) from Ian Moss, Phil Small, and Steve Prestwich on this album, they made for a winning combination.
See if you can name another band where all five members write quality songs. I can't.
This album is all about the catchy songs - classics in the Cold Chisel canon!
Playing it again just now, I was struck by how timeless it sounds - nary a hint of eighties gloss - just five Aussie blokes locked in and doing it fearlessly.
Where do they all belong? The live album is coming!
